Course Care & Slow Play Etiquette

Players must carry and use a sand bucket and repair all divots.
Bunkers must be raked and pitch marks on the greens repaired.
Ground staff have right of way on the course. Players are asked not to hit to any green being mowed or otherwise under the attention of ground staff without the ground staff calling players to the green.

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

SLOW PLAY

A round of golf can be completed in about 4.5 hours to ensure an enjoyable round.

Players are expected to consider others and call the following group through if they fall behind the speed of play.

And 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 Pro-shop 20 minutes prior to commencing their round of golf.
