  2. PACE OF PLAY: All rounds shall be of 4 hours or less. It is the Member’s responsibility to keep Guests on pace. Any group stopping for lunch will lose its place and must check with the Golf Shop before resuming play.

  4. GROUP SIZE: Fivesomes are allowed, but must play in four hours or less. All onesomes and twosomes will be paired into threesomes and foursomes when possible. Onesomes and twosomes should not exert any pressure on the groups ahead. Onesomes and twosomes have no priority.
  5. CARTS: A maximums of 1 riding cart is allowed per twosome, 2 carts per threesome or foursome, and 3 carts per fivesome. It is the member's responsibility to sign a release waiver and have it on file with the golf shop before ever renting a golf cart.

  9. RANGE: The practice range is open to all members plus their families and guests. Range balls are for use on the range only, and are not to be taken onto the course or off the premises.

Severe Weather

On the golf course it is the responsibility of each person to be aware of weather conditions and to use common sense by vacating the course in the event of severe weather.

The golf shop has a lightning prediction sensor that is used to aid in alerting the golfers of lightning in the area. When the sirens sound, all golfers seek shelter immediately!

The alert system has not been installed to insure adequate protection against severe weather. Golfers should not rely on the silence of the sirens to mean that there are no severe weather conditions. The primary responsibility for determining whether the conditions are severe rest with the individual golfer. Rely on your common sense to tell you the conditions are severe and take appropriate action to insure your safety.
