Please feel free to play from any tees you are comfortable playing from. Always tee off from between and behind (up to two club lengths) the markers on the tee you have selected to play. When posting your scores in the computer be sure to select which tee you played from. If there are no markers on a teeing area, the tee is currently closed for maintenance.

Tee Times
Tee times are available on weekends and holidays during the season, but are not required on week days. Members and shareholders can make tee times up to 1 week in advance. Non-Members can make tee times 3 days in advance. The pro shop reserves the right to join groups into 4-somes.

Ball Marks and Divots
For the enjoyment of all of us playing, please remember to fix your ball marks and replace your divots. A ball mark repaired within 15 minutes heals in about 24 hours. A ball mark that is not repaired can take more than 2 weeks to heal.

GHIN Handicap Card
Your GHIN handicap card is not included as part of your membership but can be activated by paying the proper fee to the Pro Shop. The fee will be set annually by the Pro Shop. It is the responsibility of each member to post all of their scores on the handicap computer located in the club house. Please see one of the pro shop employees if you need help entering scores or printing your handicap card. Nine hole scores can, and should be entered into the computer. The only way to get an accurate handicap is to enter all of your scores.

Practice on the course
Practicing on the golf course is prohibited. Playing a second golf ball when the course is not busy is allowed but please keep pace with other golfers on the course. Hitting of multiple balls or putts from any place on the course other than the practice area or practice green is not allowed. Please be courteous to other golfers and respect the decision of the pro shop and greens crew should this issue be addressed with you. Hitting balls from the 1st tee area in any direction other than towards the first hole is prohibited. Please limit all practice to the practice area. The practice area is available to all, however priority is given to the pro shop for lessons. Therefore, please check with the pro shop before going to the practice range. Practice balls are available for purchase in the pro shop.

Alcohol Policy
Due to the liquor license we have, State Liquor Laws prohibit bringing your own alcohol on the course. Beverages can be purchased in the Pro Shop or from the Beverage Cart.

No coolers of any type are allowed on the course.

Pace of Play
In order to make your round of golf as enjoyable as possible, we will enforce a pace of play policy. Based on normal standards of play our course should be played in just over 2 hours for 9 holes. Please be aware of your pace and play ready golf. While another player is playing their shot, be thinking about what club you will need to hit, or looking at the line of your putt so you will be ready to hit when it is your turn to play. Remember your place on the golf course is directly behind the group in front of you, not directly in front of the group behind you. If the ranger finds you are not keeping up with the pace of play, you will be asked to speed up to get back on pace. If the ranger needs to speak with you a second time, you may be asked to pick up your balls and move forward to the proper place to get back on pace.
