Most golf courses acorss Ireland and Scotland do not require a handicap cert. The Old Course is one that does - Make sure you bring your handicap certificate to the first tee and present it to the Starter. (Generally, a GHIN card or similar is what is expected). The maximum handicap is 36 for men and ladies on the Old Course.
The Old Course is closed every Sunday (apart from when there are tournaments taking place). It closes in early May, the middle two weeks in September and during the Dunhill Links Trophy which is alternately last week of September or first week of October.
Each golf course sets its own inclement weather policy and therefore all decisions regarding partial refunds or green fee vouchers are solely at the discretion of the supplier.
