Hazardous Conditions and Warning Signals
In the event of Hazardous Conditions, whilst all golfers are on the golf course at their own risk, golfers are advised to cease playing immediately and return to the clubhouse or take shelter at the nearest protected area when the following Warning Signals are heard.
1 long blast – Golfers urged to seek shelter
Upon hearing this warning signal, golfers are urged to seek shelter at the nearest protected area. All MGCC staff MUST return to the clubhouse, maintenance area or the nearest shelter immediately upon hearing the signal. MGCC staff includes caddies, marshals and golf maintenance staff.
2 long blasts – Course Closed
Two long blasts of the air horn signals the course is closed due to hazardous conditions within close proximity to the golf course. Golfers and all MGCC staff must return to the clubhouse immediately or remain in a safe sheltered area.
3 short blasts – Resumption of Play
Three short blasts of the air horn signals the end of the hazard warning and play may resume.
Club Policy & Procedure
When the course is closed no play is permitted until the Resumption of Play signal is sounded. If the course closure takes place during play, players may continue their game when the course is reopened. Starting Times affected by the course closure are considered cancelled and must be re booked at the Reception on a first come first served basis, starting times as booked will resume. Staff will make every effort to minimize inconvenience to those players whose starting time was affected by the course closure.
In the event of hazardous conditions in the vicinity, and the warning signal being sounded, golfers already on the course are urged to seek shelter at the nearest protected area.
Whilst the decision to play is at the discretion of the golfer, they do so at their own risk and are responsible for their own health and safety.
All MGCC staff MUST return to the clubhouse, maintenance area or the nearest shelter immediately upon hearing the signal. MGCC staff includes caddies, marshals and golf maintenance staff.
If green fee-paying golfers decide to abandon their round, rather than wait for the lightning to cease, refunds will not apply.
