Etiquette

Course Care

  • Please repair all divots in fairway and rough
  • Please repair pitch marks on greens and rake bunkers after play, leaving the rake on the entry point in the bunker with the handle pointing parallel to the fairway being played
  • Players are requested to walk quickly between shots and call faster players through. Remember your position in the field is immediately behind the players in front, not merely in front of the players behind
  • Use the golf carts with care. They are to be driven at a responsible speed and in accordance with the rules
  • Lost ball – if you hit a ball into an area where the ball may be difficult to find or out of bounds, always play a provisional ball from the same spot before you leave that position to go and find the first ball.
  • Players are requested to use the bathroom facilities within the Clubhouse or on Course either prior to playing, or during the game, if required, and are to refrain from using the Course as their bathroom.

Clubhouse

  • Smoking is not permitted inside. Designated smoking areas are defined with signage where applicable
  • Individual Members and guests shall not directly reprimand any employee of the Club
  • The Club complies with the Responsible Service of Alcohol Practices

Use of Mobile Phones and Electronic Devices

  • Members, member’s guests and visitors must not make or receive phone calls or video calls (e.g. Skype) on the course at any time, except in the case of an emergency or unless permission has been granted for a special reason. Please ensure your device is on silent at all times. Please advise your playing partners if you are expecting to be contacted during the course of play due to any special or emergency situation.
  • Taking or showing photos and making or reading text/SMS messages is allowed provided it doesn’t interfere with the pace of play or cause disruption to your playing partners. Excluding course landscape photos, photos must not be published or posted on any social media platform including but not limited to Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter or Facebook, without prior knowledge and approval of all players featuring in the photo. However, GPS and distance measuring functions may be used provided they comply with the Rules of Golf and are accessed silently.
