General Etiquette
Waterlooville Golf Club is a fairly relaxed club,
but we do ask visitors to respect our rules and standard golfing etiquette to ensure their visit runs smoothly and is an enjoyable experience.
In the interests of both our Members and non-members, please keep pace with the group in front of you to avoid slow play, or please ensure you do let faster groups through when possible.
We also ask that you switch off phones or put them on silent mode whilst on the course and/or in the clubhouse. They can be used for GPS purposes and in any case of emergency. Non-urgent calls may be taken or made outside in the car park, or in front of the clubhouse by the main entrance.
