Golf de Barthe will be open from 8.30-18.30 during this period.

A new Golf de Barthe phone booking line will be made available and we encourage people to use this system through WhatsApp for reservations and booking messages. 

All players must reserve in advance.

When reserving please clearly state the full names of the players and your desired Tee-time. 

Tee-times will be scheduled every 15 minutes between 8.30 and 5.00pm 

Players will only be able to reserve 9 holes at a time which supports trying to enable as many golfers to get a round as possible. You will be able to book another 9 once you have finished your first round.
