Members Weekend Times

Sunday –   7:00 am to 13.28 pm

Note: Members must always book tee-times in advance.

Please note the following Gowran Park Golf Club tee time policy for weekend tee times:

  • Members can only book one tee time over the weekend during prime tee time slots which are from the 1st tee time on Saturday within member’s times and Sunday from 1st. Tee Time to 12.30 p.m. This is to ensure all members get an opportunity to play over the weekend during prime tee times.
  • Members booking a tee time in a prime tee time slot must enter the weekend competition by signing in at the golf shop, paying your entry fee and signing in on How Did I Do or the locker room computer. Social golf can be booked outside of the prime tee time slots.
  • If available a member may book a second prime tee time slot after 5pm on the Friday for the following Saturday and on Saturday for the Sunday.

**Please ensure to always remove your name from the timesheet if unable to play in your round during prime tee time slots.**

 Competition entry fees are a core source of revenue to the working committees of the club and assist us to support the expenses associated with running the members section of the club which vary from administration, golf prizes, software systems, inter club teams, junior coaching, hosting member events and many more functions required to deliver the golf club services and standards expected from you, our members.

Prizegiving

Prizes will be presented on the last Wednesday of every month during Summer months. Members must attend. Prizes due to members who do not attend will be awarded to those present.

 

Golf Instruction

Our resident golf instructor is Dominic Bolger (087) 252 7098

Only the Gowran Park golf instructor may give playing lessons on Gowran Park Golf Course. The use of the practice area is limited to members of Gowran Park Golf Course.

Etiquette

The overriding principle is that consideration should be shown to others on the course at all times. There is a section in the Rules of Golf dealing with these issues which include dress code, priority on the course, pace of play, care of the course etc. These are all outlined in the club diary and can be summarised by the following:

  • Smart Casual attire is essential. No Denim, Tracksuits, Football Jerseys etc.
  • Play at a good pace and keep up.
  • Replace Divots, Rake Bunkers & Repair Plug Marks.
