General

Timing and Speed of Play

  • All players must on all occasions of playing, report to the pro shop before proceeding on to the green.
  • All players must observe the Dress Code.
  • Each player must have his/her own bag and clubs
  • Trolleys must be kept off tees, outside the greenside bunkers and off the verges of the green.
  • Players should repair all pitch marks, replace divots and smooth out marks in bunkers.
  • If players are behind schedule and are holding up other players they must allow them to play through.
  • Always walk straight to your own ball and be ready to play as soon as it is your turn and the way ahead is clear.
  • Bags or trolleys should be placed on the side of the green from which you intend to leave it.
  • Scorecards should be marked on the next tee, not on the green.
  • Pay particular attention to Section 1 of the Rules of Golf regarding etiquette and allowing others to play through.

The management reserves the right to insist that anyone not complying with these rules leaves the course.
