Subject to how busy the course is, you may be joined with other players to make a foursome.

Be ready to play when it is your time to tee off. Don't forget to warm up on our Aquatic Range prior to play. 

On the Tee

  • Mark your ball so that you can identify it.
  • Hit ONLY when golfers ahead of you are out of range.
  • Stand still and facing other golfers while they are hitting.
  • Watch where all balls go to avoid time spent looking for lost balls.
  • Yell the warning "FORE!" if your ball is heading toward another golfer.
  • Sand your divot.
  • Rake the bunkers after use.


The Fairway
  • Walk/ride directly to your ball unless you reach someone else's ball first.
  • Place your bag or cart near you when hitting.
  • Take no more than one practice swing.
  • Player furthest from the hole usually plays first, but golfers out of range of the group in front can play first, if ready.
  • Sand your divot, and others you may see whilst walking the fairways.
  • Walk briskly between shots and be ready to play when it is your turn.
  • Keep Pace with the group in front of you at all times.
  • Assist playing partners when needed by bringing clubs, finding lost balls, etc.
  • Adhere to motorised cart rules at all times.


On the Green

  • Avoid parking too close to tee's or greens.
  • Place your bag or cart between the green and the next tee.
  • Take all clubs that you may need.
  • Repair your own ball marks and others.
  • Avoid stepping on another player's putting line.
