Pitch & Putt IrelandReturn to Play
1st December
Pitch and Putt Ireland welcomes the decision of the Government to allow our courses to reopen from Tuesday the 1st December.
This means that our sport can return subject to our strict public health protocols.
Players will no doubt welcome the opportunity to resume play on a responsible and safe basis as was the case from May to October.
Clubs are asked to ensure our level 3 guidelines are strictly observed.
Earlier this year our sport showed how it could be played while at the same time protecting the health of our players. As play resumes we hope all players enjoy the return to the course but please continue to be vigilant and continue to adhere to all public health guidelines.
