Very happy, I ordered my Medical Certificate in the early morning hours and before noon time of same day I had it on my inbox. Speedy service and they present the health condition precisely, get to the point.
They meet the incredibly fast turnaround stated (certificate/letter sent before 9am the following morning if the doctor feels that a letter/certificate is appropriate) which is incredibly quick and I am really grateful for the help provided!
Very easy and quick to get my certificate. And the certificate was approved from the specific company to travel with my dog. I will use them again. Well done.
Second time using this company and they are fabulous! Always great, fast, friendly service. Highly recommend!
This was my second time using Medical Cert, and once again the service was exceptionally quick and professional. Everything was handled efficiently, with clear communication throughout.
I found the service very straight forward and quick. Exactly what I needed to get my Padi medical form signed before our holiday. Thank you very much.
Second year running where requested Sports Certificate has been produced promptly in advised timescales.
Process was easy and responses were quick. I would recommend their service.
Fast efficient service for medical certificates. I used the not fit to fly service and was provided with a certificate the next day, the price is very reasonable and enabled a flight credit refund with my airline. Would recommend and would use again if needed.
A fast and efficient service. It wasn't complicated and the Fit-to-fly note was accepted by the Airport without any further questions. Thank you.
Ideal for me, I am looking to get a certificate for some medical issues I have. So this is the perfect solution for me, uploading docs was easy and the forms very straightforward to fill in. Will definitely use them again. Many thanks.
Excellent service. Easy to use and certificate issued in less than 24 hours. £39 as opposed to the £150 my GP charges. Highly recommended.
Quick and reasonably pain-free. Received their standard certificate as well as my requested bespoke certificate, by email, by 9am the following morning. Both completed properly, signed and stamped as required. More expensive than my GP, but infinitely quicker and easier.
One of the best experiences. It's easy to get a GP note.
Excellent. My GP refuses to issue DWP MED 3 Fit Notes to students. MedicalCert were excellent and extremely helpful in providing a necessary certificate. Highly recommended.
You were amazing, you kept me updated and replied promptly to any queries I had. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
They helped me, they were very professional and nice.
Very pleased. Quick service with very professional letter provided.
Great service, pretty straight forward and easy to use the website.
I was recommended Medical Cert by a friend and was so impressed with the service received. I would recommend using a laptop rather than a phone. Overall a fantastic and fast service.
Medical Certificate for Golf Club & Golf Cart — Buggy Access and Club Membership
A medical certificate for golf is a signed document from a GMC-registered GP confirming that a medical condition or disability means a golfer is unable to play a full round without the use of a motorised buggy or requires specific accommodation at the golf club. Golf clubs, County Unions, and England Golf affiliated competitions require a golf cart medical certificate or golf buggy medical certificate as a condition of permitting buggy use — particularly in formal competitions — and some clubs require it for membership categories that include cart access or adapted facilities.MedicalCert issues a golf club medical certificate and golf buggy medical certificate — including a medical certificate golf cart hire operators and golf competition buggy certificate requirements call for — following individual GP review. A golf competition buggy certificate for medal rounds and club championships, or a certificate for routine buggy access, both from £59. following individual GP review — same day, no appointment needed. From £59. Full refund if the certificate cannot be issued on clinical grounds.
When Do You Need a Medical Certificate for Golf?
Golf clubs and governing bodies require a GP certificate in a number of distinct situations. Each has slightly different requirements — knowing which applies ensures your certificate is worded correctly:Golf cart / buggy hire in competitions
Under R&A Rules and England Golf policy, the use of motorised buggies in formal competitions is generally only permitted to golfers with a valid medical certificate confirming they are unable to walk the course without significant difficulty due to a disability or medical condition. Without it, a golf cart cannot be used in medal rounds, club championships, or County competition rounds.
Disability-based buggy access at the club
Many clubs require a medical certificate confirming disability or mobility impairment before permitting routine buggy use — requiring a golf buggy disability certificate even for social rounds — particularly where the club’s insurance policy or bylaws have recently been updated. The certificate confirms the condition meets the definition of disability under the Equality Act 2010 and that the golfer cannot play without motorised assistance.
Golf club membership medical requirements
Some clubs require a medical certificate for golf club membership applications or renewals where the member requires adapted facilities, cart access as a membership benefit, or a reduced-mobility membership category. A GP letter confirming the condition and its impact on mobility supports the membership application.
England Golf / County Union Section 6 certificate
An England Golf medical certificate — issued under the Transportation Policy framework — for buggy use in affiliated competitions. For 36-hole competitions and some county events, a “Section 6” certificate — confirming the golfer has a disability that prevents walking the course — is required. A GP letter forms the basis of this certification. If your club or County Union has a specific form, upload it for our GP to complete.
Your Rights as a Disabled Golfer — the Equality Act 2010
Golf clubs have legal obligations to disabled members and visitors under the Equality Act 2010. Understanding this context is important — particularly where a club has recently changed its buggy policy in a way that affects you.What the Equality Act means for golf buggy access
- ⚖️Golf clubs are service providers under the Equality Act 2010 and must make reasonable adjustments for disabled golfers — which includes providing buggy access where walking the course is not possible due to a disability
- 📋A club that suddenly changes its buggy policy in a way that prevents only those with disabilities from participating may be at risk of an indirect discrimination claim — particularly if the policy change effectively excludes a specific member
- 🩺A golf medical letter — a golf buggy certificate GP-signed document confirming your disability and its impact on your ability to walk the course is the standard evidence golf clubs require — and provides you with formal documentation to support a reasonable adjustment request
- 📝If a club refuses buggy access despite a valid medical certificate, you may wish to put your request in writing citing the Equality Act 2010, and if necessary escalate to England Golf or seek independent legal advice
A golf medical certificate from MedicalCert provides the clinical evidence your club needs. The letter is signed by a GMC-registered GP, includes the doctor’s registration number, and can be verified by your club using the QR code. The wording confirms both the condition and its specific impact on walking the course — the exact language most club policies and England Golf forms require.
What Conditions Qualify for a Golf Buggy Medical Certificate?
Any condition that genuinely makes walking a full round of golf — typically 4–6 miles over varied terrain — medically inadvisable, significantly painful, or impossible may qualify. The condition must have a documentable clinical basis. Common qualifying conditions include:The standard wording most golf clubs require confirms that the golfer “has a disability within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010 and is unable to play — or has undue difficulty playing — a full round of golf without the use of a motorised buggy.” Our GP will use this or similar language where it is clinically supported.
