Golf Course Etiquette

Pace of Play: Players should play without delay.  The standard time for a round of golf should be not less than 3 & ½ hours nor more than 4 & ½ hours regardless of group size.  If a group loses more than one clear hole on the players in front, it should invite the group following to play through.  

Bunkers:  Before leaving a bunker, a player should fill up and smooth over all holes and footprints made by the player. Place rakes outside the bunker in areas that will not affect play. 

Replace Divots: Repair Ball-Marks and Spike Damage!  Through the green, a player should ensure that any turf, cut or displaced by the player is replaced at once and pressed down.  Also, any damage to the putting green made by a ball should be carefully repaired.  Upon completion of the hole, by all players in the group, damage to the putting green caused by golf shoe spikes should be repaired.  

Practice:  All practicing should be limited to the driving range and practice areas of the club.
