The following points need to be borne in mind by prospective visitors:

• Rye is a two ball course, and only foursomes (alternate shots) or singles will be permitted.
  
• No buggies are used at Rye, due to the special ecologically sensitive areas but trolleys are always allowed, and may be hired from the Professional. Caddies may also be booked through him.

• Catering is available on the following basis:
