Environmentally Sensitive Area: Penalty Area Left of Hole #8
Defined by the outside edge of the cart path and red/green stakes entry into and/or play from is prohibited – you must take a penalty stroke and drop at point of entry.
Boulders placed adjacent to cart paths are considered part of the cart path, unless they are inside a penalty area.
Drop areas - As an additional relief option we have the following drop areas; Hole #7 if your ball is in either the penalty area on the right, or left of the cart path. Hole #8 if your ball does not cross either penalty area on the left or right. Hole #9 if your ball ends up in the rocks behind the green – the drop area is located behind the 18th green. Hole #13 if your ball ends up behind the green in “pine cone valley”. Hole #18 if your ball ends up long of the green in the rocks or in the hitting nets – the drop area is located close to the starter’s shack. Using any of these drop areas comes with a one stroke penalty.
