Course Rules
Proper Etiquette
Following are some rules of etiquette to help you and others playing enjoy the game of golf. Please use these rules as a guide.
- If you are playing slow, move aside and let faster players through.
- If you are more than a “Hole behind” of the group in front of you, let faster players through.
- If someone in your group loses a ball, check on the group behind you. If they are close, waive them through.
- Always try to play with a group. “One-somes” and “Two-somes” may not be allowed to play if the course is congested.
