Following yesterday’s announcement by the First Minister, Scottish Golf can confirm the following movement in Protection Levels from Monday 17 May.

We have received final approval from our partners at sportscotland and the Scottish Government on our updated guidance which is available here. 
 
While there are no further changes to on-course activities, our updated guidance means that from Monday 17th May, the following changes will take place for clubs who can offer hospitality services.
 
In Level 2 areas:

• All indoor hospitality may operate until 22.30.
• Groups may consist of up to 6 people from 3 households.
• Alcohol may be served (2-hour dwell time).
• All outdoor hospitality may continue where groups of Over 18s may consist of up to 8 people from 8 households.

In Level 1 areas: 

• All indoor hospitality may operate until 23.00.
• Groups may consist of up to 8 people from 3 households.
• Alcohol may be served.
• All outdoor hospitality may continue and groups of Over 18s may consist of up to 12 people from 12 households.

Please note that detail for all future levels remains indicative at this stage and could be subject to further relaxation or change. You can continue to keep up to date on all the latest COVID-19 updates on our dedicated webpage here. 
 
Once again, we would like to thank all of our clubs and gofers across Scotland for your continued co-operation and adherence to the current guidance during these challenging times.  

Please note that Moray has now moved to COVID Lockdown or enhanced Level 4 (Stay at Home), with new guidance to stay at home except for essential purposes. 

An updated table summarising the rules for the current lockdown period (Level 4 – Stay at Home) can be accessed here and are effective immediately – advice from Scottish Golf is as follows:

• Golf courses can remain open for play with a maximum of two players from up to two households 
• Outdoor coaching will be restricted to 2 people (including the coach) for those 12 years or over. Under 12s do not count towards the number so a coach can take larger groups of up to 30 U12s
• Golfers must stay close to home, travel only for essential purposes (which includes golf as part of the permitted exercise activities) and in line with the new legislation 

As with all of our COVID-19 guidance, this is subject to further change which can take place at short notice. Should any changes take place, we will inform via our Website as soon as possible. 

Scottish Golf has asked that all golf clubs and golfers adhere to the new guidance with the same spirit and integrity that has been shown throughout the last year to ensure we can all continue to benefit from playing golf through this new period of restrictions.
