"Cutting-in" is not permitted at any time. All players must check in with the starter. Under no circumstances are players permitted to start play from residences.

Practice is not allowed on the golf course. The practice facilities should be used for all practice.

Speed of play: It is the goal of all players to complete their round in less than four hours. This amount of time is more than adequate, provided all players remain aware of the rights of others to play without delay. It is the responsibility of each group to keep pace with the group ahead. A group’s place on the golf course is directly behind the group in front. If a group falls one complete hole behind the group ahead, the group should allow the following group to go through. It is each group's responsibility to be observant of its position on the course and keep pace. The ranger has the authority to keep play moving at the proper pace for all players' enjoyment. If a group is more than 1 hole behind, the ranger has the authority to ask the group to pick up their balls and move to the next hole without playing out the hole. If the players are still unable to keep proper pace, they may be requested to leave the course.

Members who exhibit a habitual pattern of slow play will be notified by the Director of Golf that they must be more conscious of their pace of play, and the Director of Golf will suggest ways to improve the pace of play. If a person is repeatedly warned for slow play, the Club may take such action as it deems appropriate, including without limitation, restricting the person's

use

of	the	golf	course

during	certain	times	of	the	day.

If players stop between nines for any reason, they must occupy the next tee before the following tee time of players arrive at the tee. If they do not reach the tee in time, the following group has the right to play through.

All tournament play must be approved in advance by the Director of Golf.

Players should enter and leave bunkers from the back (or lowest level) of the trap. Smooth out sand when leaving and leave the rake in the trap.

Players must repair all ball marks on the green.

A current certificate of insurance naming the Club as certificate holder with clearly stated limits of coverage must be on file with the Club prior to receiving golf cart registration decals.

Use of personal golf carts without a valid certificate of insurance on file is prohibited.

On “Cart Path Only” days, all carts, including those with handicap flags, must remain on the cart paths.

Handicap flags are to be used for the designated person only, not the cart.

H AN DI CA P S

If there are violations, the Golf Professional may assign to the player a score two strokes lower than the lowest score on record and shall continue to do so as long as the violations occur.
G O LF C OU R SE E TI Q U ETTE 

Persons using the golf course should do their part to make a round of golf a pleasant experience for everyone at the Club. Here are some suggestions:

Do not waste time. The Club endorses four hour rounds and ‘ready golf.‘ "Ready Golf" means thinking ahead so that you are ready to play promptly when it is your turn. "Ready Golf" applies everywhere - on tees, fairways and on the greens. Anticipate the club or clubs you may need and go directly to your ball. If a player is delayed in making his shot, it would be courteous for such player to indicate to another player to play, which should not be deemed

playing out of turn.

The time required to "hole out" on and around the green is a chief cause of slow play. Study and clear the line of your putt while others are doing the same. Be ready to putt when it is your turn.

Be sociable but reserve your extended conversations for the 19th hole.

When approaching a green, park your golf cart on the cart path on the best direct line to the next tee, in order to save significant time. Never leave the golf cart in front of the green where you will have to go back and get it while the following players wait for you to move on.

When play of a hole is completed, leave the green promptly and proceed to the next tee without delay. Record the scoring for the completed hole while the others in your group are playing from the next tee.

If you are not holding your place on the course (see General Golf Rules), allow the players behind to play through. Do the same if you stop to search for a lost ball.

The golf rangers will report slow play and all breaches of golf etiquette to the pro shop. Please keep up with the group in front of you! Appropriate actions for slow play will be addressed by pro shop personnel.
