The Rules of Golf of the United States Golf Association (“U.S.G.A.”) together with the Rules and Etiquette as adopted by the U.S.G.A. shall be the rules of the Club, except when in conflict with local rules or with any of the rules herein. All players are expected to learn and observe the fundamentals of golf etiquette.
- Appropriate golf attire is required for all players on the golf course. Collared golf shirts and nodenim or blue jeans are permitted.
- Players late for their starting time lose their right to the starting time and shall begin play only at the discretion of the Golf Shop personnel/Starter. All members and guests must register in the Golf Shop before beginning play. Failure to check in and register fifteen minutes prior to a reserved starting time may cause cancellation, set back or a no-show fee to be charged.
- Slow play is not tolerated. In the interest of all, players should play without delay. No player should play until the players in front are safely out of range. If a foursome or other group of players is unable to maintain adequate pace of play and fails to keep their place on the course, they must allow the following group to play through. Player assistants have the authority to stop a slow playing group to allow the following group(s) to play through or to require the slow playing group to pick up their balls and move forward to catch up with the group ahead.
- All twosomes will be paired whenever possible. At no time should anyone expect to play as a single or twosome.
- Foursomes control speed of play. Twosomes and threesomes should not expect to play through foursomes and should not exert pressure on the groups ahead. Foursomes shall have the right of way.
- Fivesomes are not permitted on the golf course.
- All golfers must have a starting time reserved. The staff will assign the starting time depending on availability. Starting times may be made in person or by phone during Golf Shop hours. Internet reservations may be made twenty-four hours a day.

Once players begin play the 14th hole, no rain check will be issued.
- If lightening is in the area, all golf play shall cease and players should seek appropriate shelter immediately.
- The Golf Course Superintendent is authorized to determine when the golf course is suitable for play and whether or not carts will be allowed. The decision of the Golf Course Superintendent shall be final. In the absence of the Golf Course Superintendent, the Golf Professional on duty shall make this decision.
- Management may close the golf course to play at any time, at its sole discretion.
