General Guidelines

• Minimize practice swings.
• Walk quickly between shots.
• If one player cannot reach the group ahead, allow that player to hit first.
• Watch each other’s shots to reduce lost balls.
• Players using carts should assist walkers whenever possible.
• Continue conversations after your shot has been played.
• Carry a spare ball in your pocket.
• Save instruction and swing advice for the practice range.

On The Tee

• Tee off when ready if it is safe to play.
• Do not wait for honors if another player is ready.
• Hit a provisional ball whenever there is doubt your ball may be lost or out of bounds.
• After hitting, return to your clubs and prepare to move immediately.

On The Fairway

• Play your shot before assisting in a ball search whenever possible.
• Limit lost ball searches to 3 minutes.
• Have your club selected and be ready to play when it is your turn.
• If cart access is restricted, take several clubs to your ball.
• Drop off your cart partner and proceed to your own ball.

On The Green

• Read putts while others are preparing to putt.
• Putt out when practical and not interfering with another player.
• Park carts near the exit of the green and toward the next tee.
• Record scores at the next tee, not on the green.
• Leave extra clubs between your ball and the next tee or cart location.

If Your Group Falls Behind

• When two players have completed the hole, they may proceed to the next tee and prepare to play.
• Assist fellow players by fixing ball marks, replacing divots, and raking bunkers.
• Help move bags or carts so players can be ready for their next shot.
• Focus on keeping pace with the group ahead rather than worrying about the group behind.
