The golf-day brief
A Castle Royle journey keeps every player, club set, arrival point and return instruction in one plan.
01 — Clubhouse arrival
The drive and set-down at Castle Royle
Bath Road and Knowl Hill are kept in the destination because the Reading postal address does not place the club in the town centre. The chauffeur enters the signed club drive and uses the clubhouse forecourt where the club directs for passenger and bag unloading.
The booking records the exact home, hotel or Heathrow collection, the host or organiser, the requested clubhouse arrival and one travelling mobile. A chauffeur assists with the declared golf bags, then clears the active forecourt after every passenger and item has been handed over.
02 — The car during play
Retained chauffeur or return collection for Castle Royle
When the car is retained, any lunch or meeting movement outside the club must be named; otherwise the booking sets a separate return collection window. A retained car is agreed for a defined itinerary and waiting arrangement; a return collection is booked as a later movement with its own pickup window. Neither option assumes that the vehicle can remain on the clubhouse forecourt during play.
For a guest day, society day or corporate programme, the host should supply the registration, first-tee or meal time that matters to transport. Tournament visitors should add the named event, ticket or pass and any access instruction received for that date. The chauffeur follows the club's live direction at the property.
03 — Clubs in the boot
The complete golf load is declared first
The chauffeur assists with the recorded club bags and other luggage at collection and set-down. FCET checks the whole load against the chosen fleet class before confirmation, including anything added at a hotel or airport.

Fleet selection is confirmed against the exact players, club-bag shapes, trolleys and additional luggage; bag counts are a starting brief, not a fit guarantee.
06 — Road planning
Heathrow, Berkshire and London journeys to Castle Royle
From Heathrow, the routed planning figure is 20.1 miles and about 38 minutes. Reading is 7.8 miles and about 32 minutes, while Wokingham is 8.2 miles and about 20 minutes. Central London is 33.6 miles and about 80 minutes.
These road figures support scheduling for the named centres; the confirmed booking uses the complete addresses and requested arrival. Loading time also matters: golf bags are long, rigid items, and shoes, trolleys, cases or presentation material must be counted with them before FCET confirms the fleet class and journey cost.
