Apply for a Golf course endorsement

A golf course endorsement lets you, as a liquor sales licence holder, sell and serve liquor to patrons on the playing area of the golf course. You can serve liquor from mobile vending carts. You must make non-alcoholic beverages available.

Any patron who buys liquor at any licenced area of a golf course is exempt from the rule in the liquor licence and control act, 2019 that prohibits open liquor in a motor vehicle, while driving or having the care or control of a motorized vending cart on the playing area of a golf course.

You must apply for or hold a liquor sales licence to apply for a golf course endorsement.

When you apply for a golf course endorsement, be prepared to answer the following question:

• Who will be the onsite manager overseeing the sale and service of liquor? 

If you hold a liquor sales licence and want to add a golf course endorsement, you will need to log in to your iAGCO account to apply.
