Handicaps

Girls join the club with a variety of experience of playing golf. Some will be ready to think about a handicap while others will want to get used to playing on ‘the big course’  before taking this step. Girls who are members at other golf clubs or the Elie Sports Club may already have a handicap. We can help you gain a handicap by playing in our competitions or by submitting general play scores. It is necessary to have a handicap to play in some of the Ladies' competitions. Please email our Competition & Handicap Secretary, Jacqui Coulthard, competitionladiesgolfelie@gmail.com who will be happy to answer any questions about the handicap system as well as explain the practical details of submitting cards.

Mobile Phones

The use of mobile phones is not generally permitted on the course, in the car park or the Clubhouse.  However, we suggest that when out on the golf course, at least one of you in each group carries a mobile phone in case of emergencies and it can also be useful to access the Rules of Golf App. Your mobile phone is also the easiest way to access HowDidIDo and the Scottish Golf App - both will be required to sign-in and then for score entry for competitions and additional cards.

Dress Code

Smart attire and golf shoes are required on the course.  Clean soft spikes are allowed in the corridors, locker rooms and the lounges. No jeans or trainers are allowed to be worn in the cluhouse or course.
