GOLF RULES AND REGULATIONS

1.         RESERVATION PERIOD

Members may book Tee Times up to 1 week in advance for weekends and public holidays. Sunday morning is reserved for members only and for guests with a booking. Any member arriving without a booking will have to wait until there is a vacant time available.

The booking of caddies will only be guaranteed if this is done directly with the caddie master and/or booking operator.

Members may bring up to 3 guests to play in his or her group. The Club reserves the right to adjust this policy from time to time depending on course usage.

Non-handicapped players may play together with a handicapped player. The Club prefers that members do not take beginners to the course at weekends and public holidays.

4.         PLAYERS PER TEE TIME

Strictly limited to a maximum of four (4) and a minimum of three (3) on weekends and public holidays or as directed by the management.

In the spirit of the game, single players are not allowed on weekends, if possible the Club can arrange for a single, to play together with other groups.

Twosomes are discouraged on weekends. Whenever possible the starters will try to join up twosomes in order to keep the flow of play consistent.

5.         LATE ARRIVALS

Members who arrive late for their tee times must wait until there is an opening in which the starter can slot them. Players who are consistently late will be warned by the management and requested to be punctual to be fair to other members. Repeated late arrival will be restricted on prime time bookings.

6.         CANCELLATION OF RESERVATIONS

Reservations must be canceled at least 48 hours in advance. Non-canceled reservations on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays will be charged a cancellation fee, which will be determined by the management.

Members who regularly “no show”, will be referred to the management and a restriction on prime time bookings will be imposed.

7.         BREAKS DURING PLAY

Members and their guests may stop at a kiosk during their game at any time. However, if the next tee is free, they should either make their break short (maximum 5 minutes), or if there is a group behind them, they should permit them to play through. During weekends or busy periods, players should NOT stop for lunch after 9 holes. If absolutely necessary, they should inform the starter who will arrange an exact starting time for the continuation of their round.

8.         CHILDREN

Children under the age of 16 years may not play on weekends or public holidays between 6:00am and 1:00pm without the permission of the management.

The management will generally grant permission to play for children under the age of 16 years old if they are low handicap players.

9.         LARGE GROUPS

Members may only book large groups on the weekends or public holidays, provided that there is a member with each group of four. These group bookings must be agreed in advance with the management. This is to ensure that the majority of the membership is not inconvenienced in any way.

The Club encourages the bookings of larger groups during the weekdays for tournaments, or company outings, this is subject to availability. Bookings of this nature should be made at least three weeks in advance, to allow the Club to make arrangements: tee times, course maintenance and for food and beverage arrangements.
