Due to the rough and undulating links terrain, the shuttle cannot operate everywhere around the course and so will run on a continuous loop-between set locations. The shuttle stops are clearly marked with signage and seating is available adjacent to each stop. Accessibility Stewards will be available to assist with information on expected shuttle timings.
