USE OF THE COURSE
The management staff will agree the golf course and practice facility set up on a daily basis and decides when it is fit for play. To avoid disappointment we recommend that you check availability with the Shop and reserve your tee time in advance.
Please check in with the Shop prior to play to confirm or arrange tee times. All guests should be registered in the Shop at least 30 minutes prior to play.
All play shall commence from the 1st tee. Play commencing from any other tee may only be done by permission from the Shop.
In the interest of a proper pace of play, we encourage all players (particularly those entertaining guests) to play from the most favourable and user friendly tee location. We strongly suggest that everyone plays from the tee recommended by the Shop.
When stopping after the 9th hole for lunch or any other reason that causes a delay, you must check in with the Shop before resuming play.
The acceptable maximum time frame for a four-ball to complete their round is 4 hours 30 minutes. If your group is failing to maintain a proper pace of play (meaning holding its position relative to the group in front of you) you must allow the players behind your to play through regardless of the number of players. To ensure the proper pace of play, half way Clubhouse stops should not exceed 15 minutes.
