Following the success of the traffic flow arrangements in recent years, a decision has been taken on Health and Safety grounds to once again create a “Traffic Free Zone” between 06.00 – 20.00 from Tuesday 17th to Sunday 22nd September 2019.
The areas affected will be from Wentworth Drive, opposite the 18th Green on the West Course, to the European Tour Offices and the road between the Driving Range and the Putting Green.
Vehicles wishing to use the areas surrounding the “Traffic Free Zone” will be directed by staff on how to access these using alternative routes.The suggested access routes stated below avoid this zone.
