Trolleys & Buggies

* Trolleys and buggies should be kept to paths where possible, please do not take trolleys inside the white lines in front of the greens.

* When driving buggies, please avoid the fringes and greens and drive outside the greenside bunkers.
* There may be temporary course instructions in force (e.g. winter wheels, paths or tees closed) please respect them.
Buggy restrictions – due to weather conditions buggies may not be permitted from time to time to preserve the course and uphold health and safety. Exceptions may be made for medical reasons provided a medical certificate, or equivalent, is produced either at the office or the pro shop. The Dyke Golf Club implement three severities on use of medical buggies. Course Severity (1) allows golfers with a medical exemption to play holes 10 & 9 ONLY Course Severity (2) allows golfers with a medical exemption to play holes 10, 11, 7, 8 & 9 ONLY. Course Severity (3) allows golfers with medical exemption to play the whole course apart from 5th hole and they must tee off the 6th hole from the Blue tee.
