Holiday Homes

Your family & friends can use the Holiday Home to enjoy all the benefits associated with ownership at “The Pines” (this is the name of the exclusive Holiday Home area at The Plassey). In addition, you will be able to use the Swimming Pool for exclusive use at special designated times.

First-time purchasers of a new holiday home are given a Licence Agreement which runs for not less than a guaranteed 12 years (10 years on a Front Plot), up to a maximum of 15 years from the date of first purchase. Where a used holiday home is purchased a Licence Agreement will be offered but with the term left from date of original first purchase.

Golf

Unlike some clubs, you do NOT require a golf handicap to play at Plassey Golf Club and we actually encourage new beginners to the game of golf by offering lessons by our Golf Coach if required.

If you wish you can book a Tee Time beforehand by calling 01978 780020 but in general this is not necessary. However please be aware that club competitions do take place on most Saturday mornings and sometimes Sunday mornings so we suggest calling the clubhouse on 01978 780020 if you are planning to visit us at the weekend. Please take a look at our website and click ‘Fixtures and Competitions’ for more details.

Our clubhouse is open to non-members and we cater for golfers and non-golfers alike including families who find the environment very friendly and relaxing. We offer a fine selection of food and drinks from cooked breakfasts and snacks to full 3-course meals. All food is freshly prepared and cooked and competitively priced.

Visitors can hire clubs and balls for Academy Short Course but you will need to bring your own clubs for our main course. In addition trolley and buggy hire is also available.

A dress code does apply on the main course, we ask that tailored trousers or shorts and a collared shirt, no football/sports tops and sorry no blue denim jeans. Also for safety reasons we ask for golf shoes to also be worn on the main course. No dress code is required on the Academy Short Course, Driving Range or in the clubhouse.

Annual membership is available. Please email Glenn at glenn@plassey.com who will deal with all application enquiries.

All Plassey Golf Members and Holiday Park guests have use of our practice nets and putting green, plus an 8-bay driving range. In addition, we also have an Academy Short Course which is open between April and October and is ideal for beginners or those wishing to improve their short game.

Junior golfers over the age of 8 years are welcome on the main course with adult supervision if they are of a good standard to play 9 holes. Plassey Golf Club operates a Child Protection policy and this policy is displayed on the clubhouse notice board. There is no age restriction on the Academy Short Course as long as they are supervised by an adult/parent.
