Baltinglass Golf Club News
Baltinglass GC
Following the government announcement of further measures to reduce the threat from the coronavirus (Covid-19), the GUI and ILGU have advised that all golf clubs, practice facilities and courses shut down with immediate effect until 19th April next. While golf is an outdoor sport that allows players to exercise in the fresh air, the message from the experts is clear - People must stay at home to help to contain the spread of COVID-19.
Whilst we will all miss our golf over the coming weeks, our priority now is the safety of the wider community. The course is now closed. The course greens staff will continue to work on the course for the time being, as this can be done safely and in keeping with HSE and GUI guidelines and advice this situation will be kept under ongoing review. The club office remains contactable by phone on 0872509929
We will update you as best we can over the coming weeks regarding further developments, and appreciate the cooperation of all members at this difficult and unprecedented time.
In the meantime we wish all our members, staff and their families well - we hope you stay safe and healthy and look forward to meeting in the club again when life returns to normal, as it inevitably will.

My best Corona advice? Get yourself out and play some golf. It's a game you can alone, there's ample social distancing and it'll be not just be good for the body but also the mind.
