Bondhay Golf and Fishing Club is a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital.
These terms & conditions relate only to Golfing Membership and have been drafted to ensure that everyone who uses the facilities at Bondhay, be they members, guests, visitors or members of staff can do so in a safe and enjoyable way that respects others using the facilities, and the property itself.

Bondhay Golf Club along with Nationwide Leisure Limited is responsible for the management of the premises and business at the property; employing the staff, managing and maintaining the course and property and providing the Clubhouse services.

Bondhay Golf Club is represented by various Club Committees, elected from and by the membership. They are responsible for organising and running most golf activities e.g. arranging matches, competitions, handicaps etc. Nationwide Leisure Limited has overall responsibility for all matters but delegates the playing of golf to the Club Committees / Sections.

In any dispute regarding competitions the Managing Director will make the final decision.

These terms and conditions set out the standards that we believe all members would like to see upheld at Bondhay Golf Club. We accept that we have a duty to apply the same standards to those using the facilities at Bondhay who are not members, and we will continually work hard to ensure this is the case.

We would be very grateful for your support in this respect – if you see anything you believe to be unacceptable or a breach of these terms and conditions please inform a member of staff as soon as possible and we will take the appropriate action.
