Golf Rules

Self-officiating: You are responsible for applying your own penalties.

14 Clubs maximum.  

Tee box:  Honor’s rule. Best score from last hole goes first.

Putting Green: Player farthest from hole always goes first until hole out.

Out of Bounds/Lost Ball: Local Rule - Drop at nearest edge of fairway closest to area where ball was lost or went out of bounds. 2 stroke penalty.

If player thinks that ball may be lost or out of bound but not 100% sure, the player can hit a provisional ball with 1 stroke penalty.  If the original ball is found and in play, then play as is, no penalty. 

Bunkers – no grounding of clubs or moving loose impediments – play as it lies.

Unplayable lie – 2 club lengths/back on the line relief – cannot be closer to the hole or improved lie. 1 stroke penalty. ​

Winter Rules/Preferred Lies – allow you to lift, clean and place your ball within six inches of where it has come to rest but only on "closely mown 

areas" (fairways and fringe) and includes bare areas in fairways. Please mark your ball before picking up.

You cannot change the ball during the play of the hole unless you believe there is a cut/crack or damage. Must let other players know and identify the ball.

Free relief from cart path and any man-made obstruction within the course not closer to the hole within 1 club length. 

If the ball is lying near the fences on out of bound areas, this is not considerate obstruction within the course.  Take 1 stroke penalty and 2 club lengths from OB fence not closer to the hole.  You cannot hit the ball from OB area.

No gimmies.  If a player picks the ball, 1 stroke penalty and replace the ball and putt.

Scoring – Gross: example – Double bogey on par 4 write score as: 6

Maximum score: Triple bogey +1.
