Local Rules of Play
USGA rules will apply except for the following local rules.

  • If carts are 90 degrees, you will play the ball as it lies. If carts are on the path, you will play the preferred lie in your own fairway. Players may lift, clean and place 1 club length no closer to the hole.

  • Water hazards are defined by yellow stakes, lateral hazards by red stakes and out of bounds by white stakes. Hazards are only marked just well enough to define what type of hazard it is. Use the marsh edge and the edge of the bulkheads and bridges to determine the actual hazard boundary. If your ball is up against a bulkhead or bridge, it is considered not in the hazard and you may take a drop without penalty. If any hazard is defined by a painted line, that line will define the hazard and supercede all else.

  • Embedded ball rule, through the green.

  • One ball rule is not in effect.

  • Drop areas are provided on holes # 7, 9, 15 and 17 for the men and holes # 7, 8 and 14 for the women.

  • Hole # 7:

    Men who hit their tee shot in the first marsh from the blue or white tee may use a drop area located on the gold tee.

    Men who hit a shot into the second marsh can use the drop only if they hit their ball into the hazard last crossing the area marked by the yellow stakes. Their drop area is on the fairway side of the marsh near the bulkhead.

    Ladies have 2 drop areas on this hole and can use them if they hit into the hazard last crossing the area marked in yellow. If it is their tee shot that goes into the hazard, they must use the drop area on the fairway side. Any shot other than the tee shot they may use the drop provided on the green side of the marsh.

  • Yardage markers are considered immovable obstructions. Proceed under rule 24 - 2.

  • French drains are lift, clean and place.

  • All roads are out of bounds. Ex, - If you are playing # 15 and hit it over the green onto # 16 tee, you are out of bounds even though you are still on the golf course.
