Rules of Play; PLEASE READ
- Your tee box can be viewed next to your name on your cart sign
- One player from each group should score using golf genius and can find your scoring code on your cart sign. All scores should be entered LIVE after each hole. Failure to do so could result in a DQ during your round
- Always play the course as its marked, if you lose your ball in an unmarked area treat it as a red penalty area and drop at a one stroke penalty
- If you hit a ball OB, re tee or re hit at a one-shot penalty. Play a provisional to avoid coming back to the spot when possible
- Always play the ball down, except for bunkers. You are allowed to rake and place in all bunkers if needed.
- Carts are off the path
- Pin location can be confirmed in the pro shop
- Pace of Play is 4 hours 15 minutes, play ready golf at all times, do not group search for balls, instead play ahead to save time while a player from your group looks for their own ball.
- Balls are considered lost 1 minute after all other players in your group have played their next shot.
- Marshalls will be present on both sides to help pace. Any group who is more than a hole behind will be warned first, stroked second, and DQ 3rd to help protect the field so please play fast and be aware of your position.
- All players in the field cannot exceed triple bogey, so max score is a 6 on a Par 3, 7 on a Par 4, and 8 on a Par 5.
- For course rulings during play, call the pro shop first and then text Matt at 513-340-1675 if needed. Play 2 balls when your group can’t decide on a ruling.
- After your final hole, please review all scores as a group in golf genius and submit before coming in.
