Christmas Day Golf

[Golfnut1957]

I have just had a look at the booking system, and while there are a few out on Christmas Eve and a few more on Boxing Day, nobody has booked a slot for Christmas Day itself. This seems a shame as they would have the whole of the course to themselves.

Anyone knows of anybody who is planning to play on Christmas Day? Either a cheeky 9 holes while dinner is being prepared or the full ba humbug 18 and a pub after.

I wouldn't even contemplate in on Christmas Day, family time is much more important than a round of golf for me.

Not going to be home on Xmas morning but if I was, bearing in mind the rest ofnthe household will struggle to be up by 11, I'd be on the tee at 8
Clubhouse facilities other than changing rooms are shut and the greens won't be cut but the course is there..ready to be used.
I suspect there will be quite a few up there.

Course closed on 25th so it'll be on Eve and/or BD for me

Pretty sure our club is closed. I'd never have the chance to even consider it anyway, always got a family meal on.

Our's is closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, so it'll be crawling with dog walkers trying to walk off some of that Christmas pud

I can’t believe golf courses are open tbh.
Family day for me.

Yeah I get that.
I meant it’s a family day for me.
I don’t think any courses are open in my area.

And quite a few people couldn't care less about Christmas. It's not a big deal to me one way or another. I'll be home though......although the gym will be shut. kidding.

Playing an 18 hole comp Xmas eve, nice 33 degrees.....out here in OZ,
Xmas day starts with the beach in the morning for the wife (Suffolk girl) a bit of a tradition,
go down with a bottle of bubbly and then back home for BBQ

Why would a course be closed? What purpose does that serve? It's an open green space, bookings are online, nobody needs to be there to let you on.

Just looked at our BRS. There are five slots booked during the morning. Usual suspects that play almost every day anyway.

I don't play myself on Christmas Day but our course is open, I know a few people going out inc a friend who plays 9 holes with his wife & daughter before going home for lunch.

Yes our course is open.
No bookings ,no clubhouse.
But you can play if you want.
To busy for me I cook lunch for the whole family.

I'd get into trouble for playing on Xmas Day, although I would prefer it to sitting in doors all day.

I am sure when they say course is closed they mean clubhouse and pro shop. Unless they lock the gates, the course is still there!!

Playing Xmas even and Boxing Day...... if the weather doesn't get in the way.

Could be wrong,but doesn’t someone have to be there for insurance?
