CARE OF THE COURSE

BUNKERS

Always enter the bunkers at the lowest point

Pull rake towards you as you exit the bunker

If required, rake other areas affected

Do not pile sand at the edge of the bunker. Push back excess sand

Do not rake the face of the bunker. Smooth out with the back of the rake 

REPAIRING PITCH MARKS

Start at the back of the mark and push forward with the repairer

Use repairer around all sides of the pitch mark and slowly ease turf towards the centre of the mark

Do not lift soil upwards

Lightly tap down with putter

REPAIRING DIVOTS

Always start at the back of the divot and push forward with your clubhead.

ON THE GREEN

Don't drop the flagstick on the putting surface

Always lower the flag by club or by hand

Avoid damage to surrounds of hole by placing the flagstick in the middle

GREEN SURROUNDS

Do not take trolleys in between the Green and Bunker

SLOW PLAY

It is your responsibility to arrive onto the tee AT LEAST 5 minutes prior to your tee time so that you are ready to play when your tee time arrives

With the R&A rule changes this year, you have 40 seconds to play your shot and that starts when it is your turn to play and includes time taken to select a club and measure your yardages etc

You only have 3 minutes to search for your ball so please play a provisional ball if you are in any doubt that your ball may/may not be found

Rule 1. of the R&A Rules of Golf covers playing at a reasonable pace, considering others, and caring for your golf course-for example, by replacing divots, smoothing bunkers, and repairing ball pitch-marks.  The committee has applied a code of conduct aligned with the R&A rules and you could receive a penalty if you are seen to be ignoring these rules

If you see your playing partners or any other members ignoring these rules, then please help us to maintain your enjoyment of the game and inform the Pro Shop or one of the Starters/Marshalls of any ill behaviour
