Men's Club Rules
Rules updated 5/12/2026
Rules:
We now use the World Golf rules of Handicapping. We are only allowed to take a maximum of net double bogey when we post, so if anyone has a question please ask.
- We are allowed to bump the ball 2 scorecard lengths, no closer to the hole in the fairway and rough. You are not allowed to bump the ball in the gravel or dirt areas.
- Because the sand traps are in such poor condition, the following rule can be used.
- Lift your ball
- Rake the trap to get a decent lie
- Drop the ball from knee height
- Play your shot
- Rake the trap
- The area to the left of #7 has a cement water drain. This drain is for the neighborhood flood control. This area has ben marked with a red line, and is considered a hazard. You can opt to play your ball where it is, or take a 1 stroke penalty and remove it 2 club lengths from the hazard.
- The area to the left of #14 (where the larger red rocks are) is a hazard area-- a one stroke penalty drop on the lake side of the cart path, or play it as it lies.
- The road on 14 is out of bounds. You can either re-tee hitting 3, or drop where your ball crossed hiting 4. If you think your ball is OB, you should hit a provisional from the tee.
- The area to the right of #17 fairway outlined by the large boulder rocks (previously had the rail fence) is an unplayable area and you are required to take a free drop near the cart path, but still in the gravel. No penalty.
- Giving putts: please be reasonable when giving a putt. Any given putt should be a putt that is clearly and obviously makeable (inside 2 feet with no extenuating circumstances, i.e. wind, break, green conditions) All Birdies and closest to the pins must be putted out.
- Starting June 1, 2026, if you’re under the age of 70 you will be playing from the black tees, regardless of handicap. Those with physical disabilities are exempt from this rule.
- As of June 1, 2026, to be eligible for the Club Championship, Match Play and other tournaments, you must have played at least 8 rounds.
