Introduction
About the Course
Haverhill Golf Club is located 20 miles south east of Cambridge, 17 miles west of Bury St
Edmunds, 18 miles north of Braintree and 30 miles north west of Colchester. The golf
course is set in pleasant parkland, lying across two valleys. The front nine with its
undulating fairways is admirably complimented by a saucer shaped back nine, which is
bisected by Stour Brook as it meanders through the golf course with greens reputed to
be the best in the county. The course will present a challenge to both the seasoned golfer
and newcomers alike.
The Clubhouse
The Golf Club at Haverhill is a very friendly meeting place, incorporating all modern
facilities including a spike bar, changing rooms, showers, bar, terrace and restaurant. After
an enjoyable round of golf members can enjoy the friendly and relaxing atmosphere of the
Clubhouse, where our staff offer a wide range of high quality food and beverages.
Some of the social competitions are followed by an evening function, and during the
winter months quite a few social functions are arranged which do not include golf, and
you are welcome to bring along your friends and family. We also hire out the clubhouse
and meeting room for functions at discounted rates for members, please contact the
office for further details.
Membership
There is no discrimination between lady and gentlemen members. Subscriptions are the
same and the course is available to all members at any time, providing there are no
competitions taking place. No tee bookings are required. We have a very healthy junior
section where the younger players are helped and encouraged extensively. All ladies, and
men over 55 years, are invited to join the Senior Section, where you are guaranteed a
playing partner nearly every weekday if you wish. Senior league matches take place
throughout the year and there are many friendly inter-club matches too.
You can pay your joining fee separately or combine with your subscription. We can accept
payment by cheque, cash, credit card* (except American Express) or debit card. Haverhill
Golf Club uses the facilities of Fairway Credit, which is an easy payment scheme for
golfers, where the yearly subscriptions (and joining fee) can be spread over the playing
year at 6.2% interest.
Introduction
Our membership ‘gold cards’ double up as debit cards, and after an initial payment onto
the card (either by cash, cheque, debit or credit cards*), most purchases made from the
bar receive a discount, providing your card is used for payment. Our bar staff can top up
your balance at any time.
If you like the sound of Haverhill Golf Club, complete your application form and send it in.
Currently we are running a scheme for 7 day membership to join for £70 a month, without
an upfront full joining fee, please contact the office for further details. The waiting list is
not very long, as we are hoping to slowly expand our membership. A short informal
interview with members of the Committee takes place before you join, which allows them
to explain the various club rules. Information can also be found on our website
www.haverhillgc.co.uk.

Lakes/ponds: Lakes feature on the 11th,15th/16th and between
the 1st & 18th fairways. The water in the lakes, which may have
steep and slippery slopes, is deep and there are silt deposits.
Players MUST NOT under any circumstances retrieve balls from
the lakes. Life belts are located alongside each lake.
Trees & Bushes: A number of trees/bushes on the course have
thorns that may cause injury/damage to clothing etc. Care should

the practice area is clear with due allowance for the possibility of
an errant shot.
Every effort will be made to ensure the warning is sounded with
sufficient time to allow for all competitors, caddies and spectators
to evacuate the course prior to an electric storm striking the
course.
Walking to/from the practice area requires crossing Coupals road
at a point of limited visibility of approaching traffic. Extreme
caution must be used at all times, especially when pushing a golf
cart. Haverhill Golf Club cannot be held responsible for any
accident however caused when crossing this road.
Upon the signal being given, all players, caddies and spectators
must comply with these conditions.
RESUMPTION OF PLAY
TWO SHORT BLASTS on the klaxon will notify players when it is
safe to resume play. No player shall resume play until the klaxon
has sounded.
USE OF PRIVATELY OWNED BUGGIES
The use of privately owned single seat ride-on buggies are
permitted only by prior application to the Club Manager, and in line
with any trolley ban etc. Buggies can be dangerous if driven
without due care. Please always drive any buggies with due
consideration to your own safety as well as that of other
passengers/players. All buggies must be operated in accordance
with our Golf Buggy Safety Policy (displayed at the pro shop and
on each buggy).
INCLEMENT WEATHER
Darkness, rain, fog and ice: During inclement weather, the fact that
the course has not been officially closed does not warrant that it is
fit for play. Therefore, members and visitors should themselves
determine whether they consider it safe to play.
SUSPENSION OF PLAY
Players must protect themselves in Health and Safety matters
especially should there be a danger from lightning when play must
stop immediately.
WORK ON THE CLUB COURSE & PREMISES
No work of any kind will take place on the club course or premises
without prior knowledge of the club management. Any such work will
be carried out by staff or other authorised persons including, subcontractors or volunteers and will be supervised as appropriate.
Players have a duty of care to behave in such a way that others will
not be injured by their actions. They also have a duty of care to
ensure that they do not injure themselves.
Rule 6-8 of the Rules of Golf makes it quite clear that a player is
entitled to discontinue play if the player believes that there is a
danger from lightning.
All players must adhere to the following Suspension of Play
procedure.
A suspension of play for a dangerous situation (e.g. lightning) will
be signalled by a prolonged single blast on the klaxon operated
from the Pro-shop. However, even if the klaxon is not sounded and
the players believe that there is real risk of, or danger from,
lightning then the player is entitled to proceed under the provision
of Rule 6-8 and discontinue play.
During casual play, players have to proceed under Rule 6-8. This
makes it the player’s own responsibility to discontinue play when,
in his/her opinion, a danger from lightning exists. It is unreasonable
for the Club to monitor the course at all times.

JUNIOR MEMBERS
There is no discrimination on the course and in the clubhouse between adult and junior members. The course is available to all
members at any time, providing there are no competitions taking place. No tee bookings are required. We have a very healthy
junior section where the younger players are helped and encouraged extensively. The Club has a Junior Committee that is
responsible for arranging the junior programme. We also have a Welfare Officer and a comprehensive set of Safeguarding and
Protection of Children Policies and procedures, which ensures that all aspects of junior welfare are protected whilst juniors are
in the confines of the Golf Club. Juniors may become club members at the age of 7 years old and are then allowed to play on
the course. Under 7’s are allowed to play on the course, but for health and safety reasons, this is at the discretion of the Club
Manager or the Club Professional. Under 7’s must be accompanied by an adult. All juniors, whether or not they have an official
Club handicap may enter junior competitions. Club handicaps are achievable after three junior competition cards have been
submitted. Club handicaps begin at 36 for boys and 54 for girls. There are a number of competitions which are specific to
juniors and, in addition, juniors with the appropriate club handicap, 28 or below for boys, and 36 or below for girls, may enter
adult medal and stableford competitions as well as the majority of adult competitions.
A scheme is available, whereby any junior on payment of £30 joining fee will be entitled to play Monday to Friday for a trial period
of one month before joining the club. This £30 will be deducted from any fees charged if the junior wishes to continue
membership of Haverhill Golf Club. Members of the Junior Committee will explain in further detail at an informal interview, which
parents/guardians are also requested to attend in order to discuss any queries you may have.
COUNTRY MEMBERSHIP
Members residing beyond a radius of 40 miles from the Club and being a Member of another Golf Club which is nominated as
their home club, and members intending to reside abroad for one year or more may continue as Country Members. Application
for new Country Membership will be accepted on payment of the appropriate joining fee and conditions of membership shall
be those applying to 7 day members except that Country Members are not eligible to play in Club competitions. Country
Members must inform the Club Secretary/Manager immediately of any change of circumstance/address etc. Country Members
are not entitled to vote.
