Etiquette and use of Buggies

Our environment is tremendously important to us here at Castletown Golf Links. The Langness peninsula is the subject of an ASSI order and we would therefore ask that all buggy users adhere to our guidelines, thus demonstrating how golfers and wildlife can live in harmony.

1. Where-ever possible follow paths or other routes that are indicated.
2. Please do not drive though the tall rough grasses. Especially between the 12th and 14th. (Nesting Skylarks).
3. Do not take caddy cars or buggies onto tees or green aprons.
4. Please drive carefully and at a reasonable speed and consider other golfers.
5. Only two persons to ride on a vehicle and only two sets of clubs to be carried.
6. Not to be used by any person under the age of 16.
7. Apply brake when leaving the vehicle.
8. Do not try to drive buggies through wet areas - they will sink, and the passengers may well be attacked by alligators. (Ha Ha just making sure you have read all the rules). If the course is extremely wet then please drive in the semi rough rather than on the fairway.
9. Visitors may use single seat type buggies providing they obtain permission from the golf director in advance. On the grounds of age or disability. They must also provide insurance documents.
10. Observe club regulations and local rules.
    
    
    POINTS FOR MEMBERS
11. Firstly a member has to apply to the owner for permission to use a buggy (including the single seat type) this must also be accompanied by a medical certificate. Only a certain number of buggies (10) are permitted on Castletown Golf Links, as we do not have designated buggy paths throughout the course.
12. On receiving permission from the owner, the Club committee must be informed, as the club does not allow a member to play in club competitions without permission.
13. All buggies must be well maintained, free from oil and fuel leaks. If a buggy is no longer used it must be removed from the car park at the earliest opportunity.
14. The member should fit the buggy with identification of ownership.
15. Each member agrees to abide by these rules and must accept that at certain times the use of buggies will be prohibited.
16. All users must produce a certificate of insurance to cover not only theft but also liability when used on the course.
