The Rules of the United States Golf Association govern play, except as modified by the following local rules.

 

FORMAT:  18 Hole Match Play (GROSS)

 

All play is from BLUE tee markers.

 

PREFERRED LIE:  One club length in players own fairway.  No closer to the hole.

 

OUT OF BOUNDS:  Defined by inside points, at ground level, of white stakes and fences.  White stakes:  Holes 2, 10, behind 15 green and left side and behind 18 green.  Fences:  3, 4, 5, 12 behind 14 & 17 greens.  Any ball which crosses a public road defined as out of bounds and coming to rest on another part of the course is considered out of bounds.

 

PENALTY AREAS: Red Penalty Areas are defined by red stakes and/or lines.

 

GROUND UNDER REPAIR: White encircled areas and French drains. GUR may include areas of unusual damage including, but not limited to, deep tire ruts, and animal diggings.  Hole 15 - Players whose ball comes to rest in the right rough prior to the 150-yard marker may prefer their lie one club-length no closer to the hole.

 

RANGE NET:  During the play of hole 5, if the protective fence is on a player’s line of play, or interferes with the players stance or swing, the player may take free relief by dropping a ball in and playing it from the drop zone located adjacent to the net pole nearest number 5 tee.

 

PRACTICE:  Prior to the stipulated round, a player may practice on the designated practice areas.  These include the two practice greens, the driving range, and the short game facility.

 

TIES:  Beginning on hole 1, ties will be settled by the playing of extra holes.
