Portsalon Golf Club is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website is inclusive and easy to use.
2. Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
Portsalon Golf Club is committed to delivering digital accessibility, and this website has been developed in line with WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards. These standards guide our approach to design, content, and functionality.
3. Non-accessible Content
While we strive for full accessibility, some content may not yet be fully compliant for the following reasons:
Third-party Applications
We use third-party software for tee-time bookings (e.g., BRS Golf / GolfNow) and interactive maps (Google Maps). We use Complianz for cookie and consent management. While we encourage our providers to meet accessibility standards, we do not have full control over the code of these external platforms.
Legacy Documents
Some older PDF documents, such as historical club results or older minutes, may not be fully accessible to screen readers. We are working to ensure all new documents uploaded are accessible.
Video Content
Some older video or drone footage of the course may lack captions or audio descriptions.

Skip to Content Link
