Other Information
SHUTTLE MINIBUS – Courtesy of BOONGATE KIA
There is a courtesy shuttle bus running (only carries 6 Passengers or four golfers and four golf bags) from the hotel to golf course and back. Details sent with your confirmation. Please book in advance on your form and return to Organiser – only those booked will be allowed on bus as we are limited for seats this year.
