League Rules
- Out of Bounds – All out of bounds is marked by white stakes, fences or roadways. If your ball goes past the white stakes, you may go retrieve your ball. Then you will drop your ball as close as possible to where it crossed the white stakes within two club lengths. Add one stroke as a penalty if this happens. The other option is to hit a provisional ball if you believe your ball went out of bounds. If your ball went out of bounds and you played a provisional, your provisional ball would be the ball in play.
- Winter Rules – You may improve your lie in the fairway or the rough only. You can only do so within one foot of where your ball has come to rest. Also you may not change whether you are in the rough or fairway. You cannot improve your lie in sand traps or other hazards.
- Teeing Ground – Play will be from the blue, white, gold and green tees. Blue tees: Ages 49 and under. White tees: 50 - 59. Gold tees: 60 - 69. Green tees: 70+. Once you establish which tees you will play from, please write down on the scorecard so it can be marked down for play for the league. You cannot bounce back and forth between tees. Please pick one set of tees and stay there for the rest of league.
- Putting – Players are allowed to take “gimme” putts if they are two feet or in from the hole.
- Wooded Areas – Wooded areas around the course are marked as a lateral hazard with red stakes. If you do not see any stakes, it is still intended to be played as a lateral hazard.
- Sand Bunkers – As a local rule, you may remove stones from our sand bunkers. As we are rebuilding our bunkers, some will also be considered ground under repair. Those will be marked with either a sign or a white circle around the area. Also, when there is heavy rain, they may become filled with water. If your ball clearly goes into the trap filled with water, you may take a free drop outside of the bunker without penalty.
