Local Rules

In golf, speed of play refers to how quickly a group of golfers is able to complete a round, and it's a critical aspect of the game's enjoyment. While there's no specific rule forcing players to let faster groups pass, the USGA recommends that a player should make a stroke in no more than 40 seconds after being able to play without interference. Maintaining a brisk pace helps ensure everyone enjoys the round and keeps things moving.

Local Rules

  • Pond at 3rd/12th hole to be treated as YELLOW STAKED WATER HAZARD.

  • As a local rule you may play provisional ball from the tee if unsure ball has entered hazard. If your ball has gone into the pond, your second shot must be taken behind the pond, with point of entry between you and the hole, not from the sides.

  • A ball lying on any closely mown area may be marked, lifted, cleaned and placed within 15cm of the original spot no nearer the hole.

  • All unmarked drains are to be treated as part of the fairways, as they are unmown, there is NO RELIEF.

  • Concrete drain near 1st green and 2nd fairway, treat as a free drop when ball lies on CONCRETE only – one club length at nearest point of relief.

  • The irrigation trench itself and any part of the course behind the trench, above the 8th and 17th greens, to be treated as OUT OF BOUNDS.

  • INGROUND RED markers will be used to tee off for all events.

  • NO MOBILE PHONES to be used whilst on the golf course (except in emergency) and for checking rules.

Avoid Slow Play

  • Always KEEP UP WITH THE FIELD. If you have lost a ball and players are waiting, wave them through. Three minutes is the time allowed to look for lost ball.

  • Mark cards AFTER you have hit off. Do not wait for everyone else to hit before walking to your ball.

  • Be ready to hit when it is your turn and always take your buggy up to your ball.

  • At the green, place buggy behind the green.

  • If ready, tee off. Don’t wait on others.

  • SLOW PLAY IS NOT CONSIDERATE PLAY. After two warnings members will receive a penalty of 2 strokes.
