Officials at Llanymynech golf course, which sits on the border between England and Wales, are currently awaiting clarification on whether they will be allowed to re-open following the latest update to lockdown rules.
Located between Welshpool and Shrewsbury, the course has 15 holes in Wales and two in England, with another starting in the former and finishing in the latter.
Boris Johnson's five-step road map out of the current coronavirus lockdown means golfers in England are now gearing up for a return to courses across the country, albeit under certain conditions, from Wednesday.
However, clubs in Wales are set to remain closed, with the Welsh government choosing a more modest easing of lockdown rules.
The course at Llanymynech is currently closed as a result, but members are now unsure over what guidance should be followed.
The course is currently governed by England Golf, which is now expecting the sport to restart, but given its location, it falls under the legal jurisdiction of the Welsh government.
Club secretary, Sian Whiteoak, told The Guardian : “We’re trying to work it out. We have some holes in England and some holes in Wales, so we don’t know what we can do.”
A statement from Wales Golf (Golff Cymru) read: “There is no change to the current position in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and so golf courses in these countries will remain closed for now.”
It's not the first such question to have arisen from the two countries' respective approaches to lockdown.
Championship football is also widely expected to be given the green light to return behind closed doors under the UK prime minister's exit plan.
However, with the Welsh government adopting a different response to Covid-19, it's not yet clear if Cardiff City and Swansea will be given the go-ahead to return to training alongside their English counterparts.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Welsh government told WalesOnline: “Discussions are taking place with Sport Wales and the Welsh Sports Association to explore how all sports can resume safely for participants and spectators.
"These decisions will need to be taken when the conditions are right, and within the context of the Welsh legislation.”
