Rules of Etiquette
Players starting a round at the first tee must give way to those on the 10th tee and thereafter are entitled to tee off before any others.
Players approaching the 9th green must wait for those driving from the 1st tee.
Because of the compact nature of the course, players must take all reasonable measures to ensure that the green being played and any adjacent holes/teeing areas are clear before driving.
Local Rules
1. Out of Bounds
a) Beyond any boundary wall or fence
b) In or on the clubhouse and surrounding area as defined by white posts/markers
c) Beyond the white markers/lines bounding the lake
Where both post or markers and lines are present, the boundary is defined by the line.
2. Water Hazards
The ditch to the left of the 3rd/12th hole is a lateral water hazard identified by red posts.
3. Integral parts of the course
There is no relief for a ball lying on a naturally surfaced path or track.
Piles of grass cuttings through the green are integral parts of the course.
4. Ground under repair
A player may take relief under rule 25-1(b) if a ball lies in an animal hoof print or a deep rut caused by tractors or greenkeeping equipment through the green. A deep rut is where at least half the ball is below the normal level of the ground. Relief is not available under this rule solely for interference to stance or area of intended swing. The ball may be cleaned when lifted and must be dropped at the nearest point, which avoids the interference and is not in a hazard or on the putting green.
5. Protection of Young Trees – Identified by stakes
If such a tree interferes with the player's stance or the area of his intended swing, the ball must be lifted without penalty and dropped in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Rule 24-2b(1) Immovable Obstruction. The ball may be cleaned when so lifted.
6. Stones in Bunkers
Stones in bunkers are removable obstructions. Rule 24-1 applies.
Penalty for breach of local rule not covered by a Rule of Golf:
Match Play – Loss of Hole
Stroke Play – Two Strokes
