Yeah why not

Weird question - if you don't have family commitments then why shouldn't you? Even if you can fit it in alongside family commitments I don't see why not. I'd have thought golf courses might not be open though as people wouldn't want to work on xmas day, and you wouldn't expect it to be busy.
I could never be that desperate to play that I'd sneak on an unstaffed course - particularly on Christmas Day when you could be stuffing your face and drinking profusely instead.I don't think they are expecting the courses to be staffed.. litterally just sitting there.. like during lockdown when people just played
My course not a chance big locked gates and no where to walk on
Other courses you might be able to sneak on
But like @Lord Tyrion says if no one working is there insurance issue
Since when does a members' golf course need to be "staffed"????
What on earth are people going on about? It's a big piece of grass, just turn up and play.
And what has some random member of staff have to do with insurance?

How is it any different to mid summer when you could go out at 730-8pm for 9 holes after all the staff have gone home?Because on any other day a staff member would be working. On Christmas day that is less likely unless the club has a history of opening on that day.
Would the clubhouse be closed then as well? No bar open? It doesn't have to be a manager or pro present, any employee is sufficient.How is it any different to mid summer when you could go out at 730-8pm for 9 holes after all the staff have gone home?

I'm not trying to be deliberately awkward, fill your boots if you want to play. I'm only looking at this from an insurance/ legal standpoint. Would your club be in major trouble if an accident occurred on the premises with no one present and the club knowingly allowing you to play?
It's whether the club could be held responsible for not having anyone present to deal with the accident. Insurance can be murky, as is litigation. My queries/ worries may be unfounded, I have simply raised it as a potential issue.I'm assuming that the clubhouse etc. would be closed, so any accident would be out on the course. If you have golf insurance, wouldn't that cover it???
