Options will be agreed with the Group leader.
Caddies: As a free service to clients, Lyons Links will request caddies for those who wish them, however they cannot be guaranteed. They may only be requested for the entire duration of a trip, and not for individual rounds. If you request caddies, Lyons Links will forward a request for caddies in advance of your visit. The golf clubs will make every effort to secure caddies but they are neither employed by the golf clubs nor by Lyons Links.
