Club Policies
Moore Park Golf Club is committed to ensuring that all club members have an enjoyable experience as members of one of Sydney's oldest golf clubs.
In order to assist this, the Board of Directors has put together a series of member play policies to guide members during their play at Moore Park Golf. We encourage every member to review these policies, as they will be marshalled accordingly.
Pace of Play Policy
Moore Park Golf Club is committed to ensuring that club members have an enjoyable game of golf within an acceptable timeframe.
It is common knowledge that slow play detracts from the enjoyment of the game. Whilst players are not expected to ‘run’ around the course, they should be aware that there are others on the course at the same time and therefore, should act with common sense and courtesy towards those players.
The Board of Directors of Moore Park Golf Club have endorsed a Pace of Play Policy (PDF, 123kb). It is a requirement of all members to read and abide by this policy and the following guidelines.
General rule
A group of 4 players should take 4 hours to play an 18-hole Stableford round. A group’s position is in relation to the group in front, not the group behind.
Please refer to Pace Of Play Policy for more details.
A guide to minimising round times
- Walk directly and at good pace to your ball.
- Keep practice swings and pre-shot routines to a minimum.
- Be ready to play as soon as it is your turn. For example - put a glove on, select a club and calculate yardage while waiting to play.
- On the putting green, putt out whenever possible.
- Play a provisional ball if your ball may be lost outside a hazard or out of bounds.
- If a clear hole is lost and the group behind is being delayed, or if there is no group in front and the group behind is being delayed, invite the group behind to play through.
- At the green, position your bag on the way to the next tee.
- Move off the green as soon as all players in the group have holed out.
- If you have the honour, enter scores for the previous hole AFTER you have played your tee shot.
- If you do not have the honour, enter the scores for the previous hole whilst the first player is playing their tee shot.
- Mark the score card on the next tee while others are teeing off.
- In Par, Stableford, and Four-ball events, pick up when you can no longer score on the hole.
This policy and guidelines have been developed in alignment with the following authoritative sources:
