Timesheets in operation each day

A full list of our fixtures and other information is available on our website:

 

Subscriptions

Subscriptions for the 2008 season are now overdue, and we request that all members who haven’t paid to please submit the appropriate amount to the office, by post or in person as soon as possible.

 

Fixtures Booklet

Our fixture booklet for the 2008 is now freely available in the office. All members are urged to pick up a copy, as soon as possible, and make themselves familiar with the up and coming events as we look forward to another busy year at West Waterford Golf and Country Club. The fixtures will also be updated for 2008 on our website www.westwaterfordgolf.com in approximately two weeks.

 

Names only on Timesheets and Cancelled Tee-times

With more limited time available for play and increased playing numbers, the practice of putting down a name +1 or +2 is no longer acceptable. With immediate effect +1 or +2 on singles timesheets will be removed. Only individual names will suffice as this identifies who is actually booked in to play. This facilitates the smooth running of the timesheet. All members are also urged to telephone the office, at the earliest opportunity, if they wish to cancel a tee time that they have previously booked, in the interest of fairness to all. Please remember: Players with their names on the timesheet have priority on the 1st tee.

Dungarvan Golf Triangle

A major selling point of our three courses, Dungarvan Golf Club, Gold Coast Golf Club and ourselves West Waterford Golf Club is that we are all within 5 minutes drive of Dungarvan town center. The “Dungarvan Golf Triangle” effectively, allows you to purchase a ticket that enables you to play each of the three courses, Monday to Friday for the combined price of €80, and in this era of high green fee rates, this represents good value. ‘The Dungarvan Golf Triangle’ is being advertised through all the usual mediums and is on sale in each of the three golf clubs. Tickets are valid up to 31st December 2008.
