Process For Hiring Buggies
Regnum Golf and Country Club Bodrum has a limited number of buggies available for hire to golfers and visitors. These buggies can be hired via the Pro Shop in exchange for the appropriate fees which are set by the management and are displayed on the regnum Golf and Country Club website at www.regnumgolfcountry.com.tr and www.golfinbodrum.com
Anyone who chooses to hire a buggy will be required to complete a Form prior to the commencement of the buggy hirE. The form can be visioned from the link BURAYA KİRALAMA FORMU ÖRNEĞİ LİNKİ GELECEK
The person on duty shall provide the Hirer with instructions in the use of the buggy including a safety briefing. By signing the Form the hirer is also confirming that they have received appropriate guidance in the use of the buggy as well as the safety briefing.
Course Conditions
The management has a duty of care responsibility for all golfers, employees and contractors using or working at our facility and as such the use of buggies on the course requires careful consideration on a daily basis.
On a daily basis, the Greenkeeper shall assess the course for its suitability for the use of buggies. There are two possible outcomes of the Greenkeeper’s assessment as follows:
- a) The course is declared open and the course is in a suitable condition for the un-restricted use of buggies in line with this policy.
- b) The course is declared open, but conditions are not suitable everywhere for the use of buggies.
It should be noted that the Greenkeeper’s decision should be followed, and that the safety and condition of the course is paramount at all times. The Greenkeeper shall advise the Proshop professional of his decision and the reasoning behind it, the Proshop professional would assist in explaining the ruling to the hirers.
