  • Tee off between markers.
  • No fivesomes allowed. (Unless special permission has been given by the course)
  • Step up prepared to shoot. Any practice swings must be taken off the tee box in order to reduce wear and tear.
  • To reduce congestion and eliminate the possibility of injury, only golfers are allowed on the course.
  • Persons violating the above regulations will lose their playing privileges with no refund.
  • Our expected pace of play is 4 hours and 15 minutes. Pace clocks are provided as an aide to assist golfers in maintaining their pace. Golfers will be asked by the Course Marshal to skip holes if slow play is evident.
  • We encourage ‘ready golf’ to help maintain pace. Hit when ready and it is safe, do not play honors, each golfer should go to his/her ball, and take no more than 10 strokes per hole.
  • The course Marshal has the authority to control the pace of play.
  • Please be aware of other golfers on the course; foul language or other inconsiderate behavior will result in removal from the course with no refund.
  • Allow faster golfers to play through. If your group is NOT waiting and the group behind you IS waiting, either let them play through or pick up the pace!
  • Shoes: Golf shoes or running shoes with flat heels. Only SOFT SPIKES are allowed.
  • Dress: Proper golf attire – shirts MUST be worn at all times
