If my course allows dogs, and its quiet/late evening, I'll take my dog. If I'm playing with someone I won't. What am I doing wrong? I genuinely can't see the problem.
Well behaved Dogs on the course??

Where do you put the dog poo ? Hang it from from your trolley?

Hope you enjoyed your walk, maybe it would've stayed a polite discussion if you hadn't started to judge people and telling me what sort of club I may or may not be suited to and then ridicule the fact people may have different hygenie standards to yourself and you would go out of your way to make them feel uncomfortable.So far on this thread, I have been called an obnoxious, judgemental, pompous, boorish, arrogant, up myself bigot who is stopping the game from growing and giving golfers a bad name.
All true of course but slightly over the top in a polite discussion on canine companionship perhaps?
Must dash, dogs need a walk and the local squirrels won't catch themselves......
Enjoy your Golf😃

By the way, restricting dogs because they just might crap on the course seems a bit strange. Bearing in mind the vast number of wild animals that roam most courses.

I Honestly don't see a problem with it and after reading through the thread it seems most others don't either.
Its just always intrigued me why out of the Hundreds of courses throughout the country There is only a small percentage that allow it,some of which are the best in the country.
I can only think that these clubs trust their members to train the dogs accordingly and be responsible etc.
Its no biggie but it would be nice to take the dog out on the course once in a while.
She probably needs to Stop the Leg humping first though.
Not a good look whilst I'm trying to tee off on the 1st

Do they get a discount for being under 18?

What about if the dog approaches from the HNSP before going in for the hump ?

The top courses tend to have more land than your regular golf course. Less likely to annoy those not in your group.

Most clubs can't train their members to act responsible so they have to ban dogs because they'd show the members up :thup:
Ive been a member at a couple of places you can take dogs on, Tain and Moray. its nice occasionally, Even Royal Dornoch allow dogs, but wouldn't take them all the time.
My place don't allow dogs at all, only problem i have with that is we have a path crossing the course and every dog walker in Nairn crosses the course and think they can wonder all over the place when the only access is this path. so members can't take their dogs on but every one else does.

I'd love to take the Cocker with me.. He'd probably be fine. But the Lab would make a real nuisance of herself.. Too boisterous and friendly.. Nice idea though..
Note... I sometimes take the Lab to the Club range with me.. Stake in the ground, attach her long lead and she loves watching the balls fly off.. I think that she thinks I'm playing fetch with myself...

I wouldn't restrict them because they crap on the course. They will never compete with the geese on that. I would restrict them because other golfers have the right to play golf without someone's mutt charging up to them. You may think he is just being friendly. I may think he is being a nuisance. I wouldn't join a club with a strong dog-friendly policy.
Oh and if you take him in the course and he jumps in a bunker, it is your responsibility to smooth it out.

I'd have all the foxes shot as well, almost as bad as dog shat.
Don't mind a bit of goose poo, and I can't think of a vast amount of other wild animals that have poo big enough and smelly enough to worry about?

Ah but, doesn't have to be wild animals does it? Have you seen how many cows wander around the course at Brora?
A well trained dog, and a better trained owner, and I don't really see much problem. In any case, I'd always thought it could be a good idea to train your dog to sniff out your golf balls - would make finding them in the rough all the easier?

Dogs shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a golf course.
