Care for the Course

Bunkers

Before leaving a bunker, players should carefully fill up and smooth over all holes and footprints made by them and any nearby made by others. Rakes are provided and should be used for this purpose. After you complete raking, place the rake inside the bunker with the handle on the grass and the rake portion inside the bunker. Please exit the bunker on the low side. Also, tap your shoes to remove sand before stepping on to the putting green. 

Repair Divots, Ball Marks, and Damage by Shoes

Players should carefully repair any divot holes made by them. Divots may be replaced if they have a substantial amount of dirt attached to the grass, otherwise, fill the divot with sand provided on your golf cart. Any damage to the putting green made by the impact of a ball (whether or not made by the player himself) should be repaired. On completion of the hole by all players in the group, damage to the putting green caused by golf shoes should be repaired.

Pace of Play

Play at a Good Pace

Golfers should play at a pace to complete 9 holes in 2 hours and 18 holes in 4 hours. Please stay on pace with the group ahead of you. If there is an open hole in front of you, please invite faster players to play through. Similarly, if you have not found your ball after 3 minutes, please allow the group behind you to play through. Single players and twosomes while permitted on the course have no special privileges in playing through foursomes. They may play through only when invited to do so. In the interest of speeding up play do not leave a golf bag or cart in front of the green while putting. Instead, leave them at the side of the green nearest to the next tee. After putting out, leave the green promptly and score the whole on the next tee

Golf Carts

Persons utilizing power carts must be at least 16 years of age and have a valid driver’s license. Absolutely no more than 2 riders on a cart are allowed at any time unless authorized by the Golf Professional Staff. Posted directional signs must be observed and followed. Please keep carts on designated paths where they are provided. Near tees and greens golf cars must be parked with all tires on the path. Motorized carts must stay a reasonable distance from damp or wet areas to prevent damage to the golf course. Start and stop motorized carts slowly to prevent turf damage due to spinning or skidding wheels. Do not pushed stalled carts with other carts as this may cause external damage to the cart and internal damage to the motor and gears. The operator of any cart will be responsible for damages incurred to the cart, golf course, injuries to persons, or the property of others. Damage of any type must be reported immediately to the golf shop. Golf carts may be restricted by the Golf Course Superintendent or the Golf Professional Staff if deemed necessary.
