Arrival At The Course
Players should aim to arrive at the golf course at least 20 minutes before their appointed tee off time and be fully prepared to tee off as soon as the players in front are out of range.

All payers must report to the Pro-Shop prior to entering the course.

On the day of play, if players are unable to meet their appointed tee off time they must advise the Pro-Shop with as much advanced warning as possible. Failure to do this is unacceptable since it may deprive another player of a game.

Sharing Of Golf Clubs
The sharing of golf clubs is not permitted. Each player entering the course must have their own separate equipment, club hire is available from the Pro-Shop
 
Practising
Practice areas are available for use by all players. Players practising on the course proper must not use more than two balls, greens and tees must not be used for practice.

Speed Of Play
All players must ensure that their game is played at a reasonable speed. In general, players should keep up with the players in front. If you are not keeping up with the group in front, please make every effort to catch up, or let the group playing behind you through if you are holding them up.

Complaints of slow play will be recognised only when made and signed by all members of the group playing behind. The Match Committee at their discretion and after interviewing all concerned may impose an appropriate penalty on the slow players. For example, on a subsequent playing day or days the slow players may be relegated to the end of the field or draw.

Alcohol On the Course
To keep within The Clubs licencing requirements any alcohol consumed on course or within The Club house must be purchased from ourselves. You may not consume alcohol whilst operating a Golf Cart.
