We have the right to refuse service or future entry from those who do not uphold pace of play standards, conduct themselves professionally, or receive negative complaints to be reviewed by committee.
- Able to keep up with pace of play standards. 4:45 min as a foursome in the tournament will be strictly enforced.
- Caddies optional and at the players own discretion.
- Spectators, family, and friends are encouraged to spend time in the clubhouse viewing areas (food and beverage areas, sponsor activation stations) as well as select tee boxes and greens that are in sight of the clubhouse. If a spectator wants to walk, they may at their own risk, must remain on the cartpath, and not disrupt play in any form.
- Carts will be at the discretion of each player whether or not to use them. In some events, a cart will be mandatory due to length between holes or to ensure pace of play standard is kept.
- No funny business. We will have limited rules officials out on course. We will rely heavily on peer to peer monitoring of rules, questions, and assessed penalties that are in-line with the USGA Rules of Golf. If there are questions that arise, ask the group for consensus, then play onward and submit questions in writing at the end of the round where investigation or final decision will be made by a peer committee.
