Oxley Park Golf Club has a duty of care to all users of the golf course. Due to disability, some members, visitors and guests may not be able to play golf without the assistance provided by a motorised ride-on buggy whilst others may simply prefer the option to drive around the course instead of walking. This policy has been introduced to ensure compliance with both equality and Health and safety legislation.

The purpose of this document is to establish a standard for the safe operation of all ride-on buggies authorised and operated within the confines at Oxley Park Golf Club (OPGC). The document also sets down the criteria to be applied and conditions to be met when OPGC considers applications for buggy use both hired and personally owned. The topography of the OPGC is unique; you are requested to take note of Course Topography considerations and possible restrictions thereof referred later in this document.

From time-to-time Oxley Park Golf Club may determine that the state of the course or the weather is such that safety on or the condition of the course may be unacceptably compromised if a buggy is used. OPGC reserves the right to ban the use of buggies by able-bodied members, visitors and guests when course conditions are unsuitable for the use of a buggy. This might apply to the whole or just parts of the course. Potentially unsuitable conditions including waterlogging, surface water, ground conditions, frost etc.
