Play winter golf on SUMMER greens & FAIRWAYS
Winter Open Golf Competition Series and Order of Merit
Our Winter Open Series is designed for golfers who want to enjoy competitive golf when many courses are closed.
Bury GC benefits from exceptional natural drainage, complemented by strategic man-made drainage systems, which means our course remains open throughout the year when other courses are closed.
The result is that we use summer greens (temp greens only for frost) and no fairway mats — just quality golf 12 months of the year. All events are Singles Stableford, open to men and women, with tee times typically starting at 8:00 a.m.

Why Play Golf at Bury GC in Winter?
Because you want real golf, year-round.
Bury’s exceptional natural drainage, supported by engineered systems, means the course is open when others close.
We typically use summer greens throughout winter (switching to temporary greens only in frost) and never use fairway mats — you play from the fairways 12 months of the year.
If you value consistent conditions and true putting surfaces, this is the place to be.
