However as a respected private club we have to insist on minimum dress standards for the pleasure of all people playing on the course or enjoying the ambience of our clubhouse.

Course Care

All players must carry and use a sand bucket and repair all divots.

Bunkers must be raked and pitch marks on the greens repaired.

You can help by:

• Repairing plug marks on greens
• Raking bunkers after use
• Carrying a sand bucket and replace and repair divots
• Not littering the course
• Obeying directional signs, rope placement, and keeping carts outside of the areas marked with blue lines

 

Bunkers

Before leaving a bunker, players should carefully fill and smooth over all holes and footprints. Always leave the rake in the flat of the bunker with the handle pointing towards the tee of the hole being played and parallel to the line of flight of the ball. Rakes should be placed as far from the edge as possible.

1. Always enter the bunker at the lowest point.
2. Pull the rake toward you as you exit the bunker.
3. If required, rake other affected areas.
4. Do not pile sand at the edge of the bunker. Push back excess sand with reverse side of rake.

 

Repairing Divots

1. Remove any loose turf from the affected area.
2. Knock in all sides of the edge of the divot with your club or your shoe.
3. Fill with sand and smooth over surface with the sole of your shoe.

 

Repairing Ball Marks

1. Always start at the back of the mark and push forward with the repairer.
2. Use repairer around all sides and slowly ease turf toward the centre of the mark. Do not lift the soil upwards.
3. Lightly tap down with putter.

Handling the Flag

Players should ensure that, when putting down bags or the flagstick, no damage is done to the putting green and that neither they nor their caddies damage the hole by standing close to it when handling the flagstick or in removing the ball from the hole.

The flagstick should be properly replaced in the hole before the players leave the putting green.

• Don’t drop the flagstick on the putting surface as it will cause damage.
• Always lower the flagstick by club
• ….or by hand.
• Avoid damage to surrounds by placing the stick in the centre of the cup.

 

Removing Ball

Players are requested NOT to use their putter to remove their golf ball from the hole.

Slow Play

To ensure an enjoyable game for everyone a round of golf should be completed in 4 hours (Stableford or Par) or 4 hours 15 minutes (Stroke). Stroke must not be played during social play. Players are expected to consider others and call the following group through if they fall behind the speed of play.

You can help everyone’s game ‘flow’ if you remember:

• There are other players on the course apart from yourself
• To call following players through when a ball is lost
• To be ready to play your shot when it is your turn

Commencement of Play

All players are required to report to the Golf Shop 15 minutes prior to commencing their round of golf.
