Club Rules & Dress Code

All players are required to check into the Pro Shop before teeing off. This is for your safety as well as to ensure the best operation of the golf course. Do not change position on the golf course if it will interfere with other players who have the right-of-way. Dogs are not allowed on the course or in the clubhouse.

1^st Tee Procedure: A group making the turn generally has priority. During busy periods, turning groups and new groups teeing off shall alternate. Please be ready to play when it is your turn to do so. Members are encouraged to join up. During busy periods the Pro Shop has the discretion to pair groups as needed to maximize efficiency.

Hand Carts: Hand carts are not allowed on putting greens, or between bunkers and greens.

Power Carts: Power carts shall stay off grass mown to approach height or less. Your cart should never be nearer than 30 feet from any putting green. Please use all reasonable care to keep from tearing up the grounds by turning, stopping, or accelerating too quickly. The daily cart rules will be determined at the Superintendent’s discretion and posted at the Pro Shop.

Course Care: Please replace divots using provided sand bottles. We have sand bottles and sand barrels located on holes 1, 3, 7, and 8. Please make it a habit to fill your divot and one extra each time you play a shot.

Always repair your ball marks on the greens with a proper repair tool. Complimentary repair tools are available in the Pro Shop. We can also give you tips to properly fix your ball mark.

Please rake the bunker neatly after playing your shot. Place the rake inside the bunker with the handle pointing towards the tee box.

Shelled seeds (sunflower, pistachio, etc.) are never permitted on the golf course. Please dispose of your cigarette & cigar butts properly.

Pace of play: Play ready golf and keep up with the group in front of you at all times. Here are a few tips so you can play faster rounds of golf without rushing things:

Pay attention to your group and advance directly to your golf ball when safe to do so.
Bring the club you think you need, plus one less and one more. If it looks like a 5 iron shot, also bring your 4 & 6 irons.
Be ready to play your shot when it is your turn. Prepare to play your shot while your partners are hitting theirs.
Play the appropriate tees. There is no shame in having more fun playing shorter tees!
When you get to the green, leave your clubs on the way to the next teeing area.
Write down your scores after you leave the putting green.
Once you have holed out, head to the next tee and keep playing without delay.
