Local golf courses are open and very busy after lockdown rules are relaxed

Public courses at Thorpe Wood and Orton Meadows - the Nene Park club - reopened on May 13 and are offering reduced green fees of £17 on weekdays and £20 at weekends.

Play is only allowed in two balls and the courses have been very busy.

Bookings must be made onlone.

Milton, a members only club, report they have been busy from dawn till dusk with two-ball play.

Milton club secretary Andy Izod said: “We have been full to brimming with members playing from 7am each day through till dusk!

“We are not as yet opening to visitors or members’ guests, but we will review this policy every fortnight.

“The course is in fantastic condition after the ‘rest’ it has had and we are, even now, receiving new membership applications.

“Sadly, bar and catering have to stay closed but we are hoping the virus will begin to subside to a level where the Government start to allow such operations to recommence.”

Local clubs Elton Furze, March and Thorney are also open with further information and guidelines available on the relevant club websites.
