Parking of any vehicle, including motorcycles and bicycles, is not permitted in the front of the clubhouse circle area.

3. BOOKINGS: Bookings may be made up to one year in advance. The minimum number for a booking is two players. Reserved bookings for hole number 10 tee are available between the hours of 6:30 A.M. -7:30 A.M. (for nine holes only).

The Club reserves the right to cancel any booking in order to accommodate a large group booking or tournament, but should the Club do so, as much notification as possible will be given to the player who had previously booked.

Any player with an advance booking must give the Club at least 24 hours’ notice if he does not intend to use the booking or intends to decrease the number of players in the booking. Should the Club lose revenue because of insufficient notification, a fee may be charged to the player, and/or future booking privileges to the player may be refused.

Tennis – All players are expected to follow the rules displayed at the club in regard to tennis bookings and play.

4. STARTING PROCEDURES: All players with a reserved tee time have priority on the tee. Players arriving at the Club without a reserved tee time will be accommodated as best as possible but are required to wait for the permission of the starter to begin.

Players may start on the 10th hole only with permission of the starter and/or players’ assistant. Any players starting on hole number 10 wishing to play 18 holes must merge onto hole number 1 with the permission of the starter, but players starting on hole number 1 have priority over players coming off hole number 18.

Any group stopping after nine holes must ask permission from the starter to restart on the 10th tee.

Players are not permitted to start before the opening tee time of 6:30 A.M.

5. STARTER/PLAYERS’ ASSISTANT: All players must respectfully follow the directions of the starter and players’ assistant at all times. A maximum of 4 players are permitted to play in one group.

Start of hole number 1 to end of hole number 18 (4 hours)

If the golf course is busy, the pace of play may increase to 4 hours and 30 minutes.

All players are asked to avoid slow play by playing “ready golf”, to keep up with the group ahead of them and if practical, allow faster groups through. Similarly, smaller groups cannot expect to play through larger groups if the course is busy, and may not demand that the larger groups ahead of them play in less than 4 hours.

A single player has no standing on the course and as such may have to wait for groups ahead of him.
