Golf Etiquette

For the enjoyment of the game for everyone

  • If a group loses one clear hole to the one in front, it should allow the group behind to pass. Faster groups should be invited through.
  • Four is the maximum number allowed in any one game.
  • Tee times must always be adhered to. All visitors are asked to ensure that their guests are aware of their confirmed starting time and adhere to them. Any player missing or late for their tee time will be reverted to the next available tee time.
  • All play must be from the yellow tee markers, unless alternative arrangements have been made prior with the Pro shop.
  • Slow play is not tolerated. 4 hours 20 minutes is allowed for each match to complete the course.
  • Mobile phones are not permitted on the Golf course. Except in an emergency.
  • Players searching for a lost ball should invite the following match to play through.
  • All bunkers should be raked after playing out and rakes replaced in bunkers.
  • Replace divots and press firmly down.
  • Repair pitch marks on the greens.
  • Clear the green as soon as possible (i.e., mark scorecards on the way to the next tee).
  • Behave in a proper fashion on and off the course and do not give offense to others.
  • Adhere to the rules of the golf club and local rules.
  • Acting with integrity - for example, by following the Rules, applying all penalties, and being honest in all aspects of play.
  • Showing consideration to others - for example, by playing at a prompt pace, looking out for the safety of others and not distracting the play of another player.
  • Trolley bans are at the discretion of the Head Greenkeeper according to course conditions. His decision is final. Please respect this.
  • Buggies must not be driven on to tee areas or close to the green. Please check the rules of the day with the Pro shop when hiring.
