Welcome to 'Beau Desert Golf Club', a truly great golfing venue for every occasion...

Hidden among the towering canopy of Staffordshire's Cannock Forest, this Herbert Fowler classic stands proudly alongside his other English master-pieces - Saunton, Walton Heath and The Berkshire, to name a few.

The beauty of Beau Desert is hard to describe as, with only the occasional passing Stag as a critic of your ability to master the rolling fairways and testing greens, you will enjoy both a sense of isolation and peacefulness here allowing you to focus on your game and enjoy your visit to the full.

Covid-19

​It is now quite clear that our golf club cannot continue to operate whilst this pandemic continues to affect more and more people. Starting this morning, the 24th of March the club's Board of Management have decided in line with Government restrictions to close the course, driving range, practice ground, professional shop and clubhouse until we have clear Government guidance on how or when we may sensibly relax these measures.

Dear Guests & Visitors

Beau Desert GC are very keen to continue to welcome and make the Golf Course available to all members and visitors alike whilst giving due consideration to all Government Guidelines. In view of those guidelines the following restrictions are now in place and will be updated as and when necessary.

Club House:

The Clubhouse and all associated facilities will close from 18:00 on Friday the 20th March.

A safely prepared limited take away service will be available from the window of the downstairs function room.

As the clubhouse and locker rooms will be closed you can change in the car park but please do not congregate in sizeable gatherings either in the car park, around the clubhouse or on the 1st tee.

Out on the Course:

Tee time bookings will be as normal via Intelligent Golf or through the Professional Shop. Electronic payments can be arranged, through bank transfers or card details. Whilst out on the golf course, everyone is expected to maintain a safe social distance within their group whilst adhering to the following examples of best practice.

Not touching the flag stick/leave in

Avoiding shaking hands

No rakes will be in bunkers

Make good the surface of the bunkers with your golf club

The Ball Washers/Mcdivot boxes/ Divot mix boxes etc will all be removed

No mats will be available/ player to use preferred lies

The Ladies on course toilet will be managed by users themselves so please use the cleaning products made available

Shoe blower out of action

Professional Shop:

This is to remain open but with a new closing time of 14:00 daily. We also ask that the maximum number of people in the shop at any given time is 4 people (includes both shop staff and customers). The opening of the shop will be reviewed daily.

Open Competitions:

As of this moment Beau Desert is still intending to run Open Competitions within the guidelines above, obviously this may need to be reviewed dependent on those guidelines. Booking is still live on the system. If further clarity is needed please contact me Tim Gilpin the General Manager.

Driving Range:

Remains open with good hygiene practices in place.

We are deeply concerned about the health and well-being of our clients and member’s therefore we are taking the following action with immediate effect.

Golf Coaching/Lessons

All individual lessons are on a customer-professional basis and may proceed with mutual consent – however, if you feel in any way unwell or have a family member displaying Covid-19 symptoms that you remain in isolation as per the government policy in order to protect our staff.

The Professional Coaching staff are subject to the same directive and therefore be prepared for potential short notice cancellations.

All group coaching is postponed until further notice.

Office & Staff Teams:

Any communications with the office and staff team are welcome as always but please use email, phone or text where possible.

We would like to thank everyone for their understanding, we hope our clear and very necessary actions will at least keep as many people as possible out on the golf course.

Clearly this is an ever-changing situation with continual national updates, which we will respond to and share any other required changes with you as and when necessary.

Best wishes and stay safe

For and on behalf of The BOM and Staff

Tim Gilpin

General Manager
