• Check-In – all players must check-in with the pro shop prior to play.

  • If you are a substitute or not on the tee sheet for the day, please tell them which tee time and who you will replace.
• Pace of Play remains critical. You must always maintain position with the group in front.
  • If you reach a Par 3 tee, and the next tee is already clear – you are OUT OF POSITION.
  • If you reach a Par 4 tee, and the green is already clear – you are OUT OF POSITION.
  • If you reach a Par 5 tee, and the fairway is already clear – you are OUT OF POSITION.
  • Once you realize you are behind (position, not time) it is the responsibility of ALL 4 PLAYERS to speed up to regain proper spacing.
