Extra bookings on day of play allowed, subject to tee availability. |
PHASE 2: Thursday 8th April – Sunday 25th April inclusive |

- BRS ‘go live’ times
|
BRS will go live for members’ casual bookings at:
· Midday on Tuesday 23rd March for play on Monday 29th, Tuesday 30th and Wednesday 31st March; then · Midday on Friday 26th March for play on Thursday 1st, Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd April; then · 8am on Monday 29th March for play on Sunday 4th April; and at 8am on Tuesday 30th March for play on Monday 5th April; and then · 8am daily for each subsequent day – in other words, the usual 6 days in advance. · NOTE: As usual, all bookings for Men’s Saturday competitions will go live at 5pm the previous Sunday. |
3. Navigating the 2-tee BRS booking option
During Phase 1 (until 7th April), you may book to play from either the 1st tee or alternatively from the 13th tee for a limited number of early morning start times. For ease of reference, you can find below the previously issued guidance to help you navigate the 2-tee booking options on BRS, whether using the club website or smartphone App.
(a) If booking via the BRS App on a smartphone…
- Select Tee Sheet from the options at the bottom of the screen
- Select the date you wish to play
- Select Course from the options at the top of the screen
- Select Heswall Golf Club to play for the 1st tee or Supplementary Tee Booking to play from the 13th tee
- Then click Done
- Book your tee time in the usual way once the booking sheet goes live
(b) If booking via BRS on the club’s website…
- Log in to the members’ pages, and then select Book A Tee Time
