The boundaries of the Course are the fences surrounding the Clubhouse and the line taken through the trees so marked on the 18th Fairway thence continuing along the fence posts defining the Course.

• White Ground Under Repair (G.U.R)
• Yellow Water Hazard
• Red Lateral Water Hazard

Protection of Young Trees

Protection of young trees indentified by white stakes and/or relevant discs. If such a tree interferes with a Player’s stance or the area of the Player’s swing, the ball MUST be lifted, without penalty, and dropped in accordance with Rule 24-2b(i). (Immovable Obstruction)

Embedded Ball

A ball embedded in it’s own pitch mark in the ground in any closely mown area through the green, may be lifted, cleaned and dropped no nearer the hole without penalty. Rule 25-2.

Ground Under Repair

As defined by white marker pegs. The entrance roadway on the right hand side of the 18th fairway from the Club’s entrance to the carpark, is to be treated as G.U.R. Rule 25.

Immovable Obstructions- Rule 24-2

If such an obstruction on, or within two club lengths of the putting green of the hole being played intervenes on the line of play between the ball and the hole, the player may obtain relief, without penalty, as follows:

The ball may be lifted, cleaned and dropped at the nearest point to where the ball lay which: (a) is not nearer the hole (b) avoids such intervention and (c) is not in a hazard or on the putting green.

Have some thought for your fellow members – avoid slow play at all times.

1. No one should move, talk or stand close to or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke.

2. No player should play until the players in front are out of range.

3. In interest of all, players should play without delay.

4. Players searching for a ball should allow other players coming up to pass them; and should signal to the players following them to pass, and should not continue their play until those players have passed and are out of range.

5. Before leaving a bunker, a player should carefully rake in all holes made by him therein and replace rakes in the bunker parallel to the fairway.

6. Through the green, a player should ensure that any turf cut or displaced by him is replaced at once and pressed down, and that after the players have holed out, any damage to the putting green made by the ball or the player is carefully repaired. The player must not take a divot with a practice swing.

7. Players should ensure that when dropping bags or the flagstick no damage is done to the putting green and that neither they or their caddies damage the hole by standing too close to same. The flagstick should be properly replaced in the hole after the players leave the putting green.

8. When the play of a hole is complete, players should immediately leave the putting green.

9. In a practice round, no more than two balls to be used per player. For all other practice, the practice fairway and green to be used.

10. Mobile phones, two-way radios and the like are not permitted on the course.

In the absence of special rules, twosomes, threesomes or foursomes should have precedence over and be entitled to pass any other kind of match. A single player has no standing and should give way to a match of any kind.

Any match playing a whole round is entitled to pass a match playing a shorter round. Players following must keep up with players ahead. If a match fails to keep its place on the course and loses more than one clear hole on the players in front, it should allow the match following to pass.

REMEMBER … it is the duty of every member to preserve the reputation of the Club, by:-

1. Maintaining the spirit of good fellowship between himself and every other member;

2. Extending the hand of welcome to all visitors.

COURSE STAFF shall have the right of way at all times.
