Overview

Considering it is a golf course, the Ryder Cup have put a lot of thought into disabled access including having specified stewards called "Access Buddies" who are there to give advice and any help needed. Everywhere round the bar and catering areas has a platform walkway which makes it easy to get around with ramps to all bars, eating places and sponsors lounges. Going round the course, at each hole there are designated wheelchair areas and getting around the course there is concrete pathways making it as easy as possible to get about.

Transport & Parking

As well as the train station being approx 10 mins away, there is also designated accessible car parking areas. These car parks are still some distance away from the course but if you phone the access line beforehand you can get into the car park that is closest to the course.

Access

I found it extremely easy to get around although it will obviously be more difficult when the crowds start to build up. It is expected that approx 45,000 spectators are due each day.

Toilets

I was unable to get into the public accessible toilets but the doors were a good size. The accessible toilets in the sponsors area were very spacious.

Staff

Although I didn't come across many staff, everyone was very helpful and after speaking to a few who are volunteering as an access buddy, they have a good understanding of what's required.
