Terms and Conditions

Pre payment will be taken at time of booking. If you would like to cancel your booking please email tee.time@thegrove.co.uk. Any cancellations made less than 14 days prior to the day of play will be non-refundable. Providing we have a minimum of 48 hours’ notice we will permit the transfer of the pre-payment to a future date once within 3 months of the original date. Please note cancellations also apply to a reduction in player numbers. The British weather can vary from day-to-day, or even hour-to-hour. Therefore, we do not offer a rain check policy. If you have a voucher for golf, please bring it with you on the day of play. Routine maintenance takes place throughout the year at The Grove. Due to unforeseen climatic changes we are unable to confirm when these works will be taking place and will advise you of any relevant works prior to arrival. Reservations cannot be guaranteed until 30 days prior to the tee time. Your booking will be automatically confirmed unless you hear from The Grove.

Please note when making a booking of less than 4 players, there is a strong probability you will be paired up to make a 4-ball on the day. The pace of play will remain at a 4-ball pace of 4.5 hours throughout the day, regardless of booking size.

Golf at The Grove is a cashless facility, you can only pay by card.

You shall only make legitimate reservations in good faith, only for use by you and/or your invited guests and/or others on whose behalf you are authorised to act, and not for other purposes, including without limitation, reselling, impermissibly assigning or posting on third party websites, or making speculative, false or fraudulent reservations, or any reservations in anticipation of demand. We reserve the right to cancel or modify reservations with our discretion for any reason, including where it appears that a customer has engaged in fraudulent or inappropriate activity or under other circumstances where it appears that the reservations contain or resulted from a mistake or error, even if such mistake or error is ours. Please note, children are classed as 12 years and below. Those aged 13 and above are classed as adults and will be charged at our full rate.

Notification of booking cancellation must be received at least 48 hours prior to arrival date to avoid a one night charge. Please note that packages and offers will have specific terms and conditions.

The card used to pay the deposit must be presented when taking the service unless it is a 3rd party agreement.

Please note that check-in will not be permitted without a valid credit card or debit card. On arrival all guests will be required to provide a valid credit card or debit card to guarantee room payment (if not prepaid) as well as extras/incidentals. This card will be utilised to administer a pre-authorisation charge of  £200 per room per night, plus the value of any outstanding accommodation for the duration of your visit.

Please note although the card is not fully charged at this stage the authorised monies will be held against the likely purchase. The final form of payment for extras/incidentals may be changed on check-out if you wish, however it should be noted that if you fail to complete your transaction at the point of departure with the same card utilised at check in, it may take up to 30 days for the monies to be released back to your account. Personal credit limits are the responsibility of the credit card holder and we do not take responsibility for any charges incurred as a result of any breach in these limits regardless of the length of time charges are held

Guests without a credit or debit card will not be able to check-in.

Should you wish to pay by cash the maximum value we can accept for any booking is £1000. This includes payments that are being made by separate individuals –  £1000 is the maximum.

If you wish to pay by cash for accommodation, a valid credit/debit card will still need to be provided at check in.

Please note check in time for the hotel is from 3pm and check out time is by 11am. You are welcome to store your luggage with the Concierge team and begin exploring the grounds when you arrive.

Non-residential guests must book either a full day or evening spa package. All treatments must be guaranteed with a credit card. Should you need to cancel your reservation, please contact the Spa Reservations Team on spa.reservations@thegrove.co.uk. Any cancellations made less than 14 days prior to the day of visit will be non-refundable. Providing we have a minimum of 48 hours’ notice we will permit the transfer of the pre-payment to a future date once within 3 months of the original date.
