Practice Fairway

It is important to remember that the primary use of the area remains unchanged. This meaning that it is a Practice Fairway which as previously will involve players hitting balls exclusively from the designated hitting area at the far end to the fairway (near 27^th hole) and balls travelling in the direction of the clubhouse.

Although additional safety measures have been added, mainly the net at the clubhouse end of the fairway, golf balls are not to be hit beyond the “new” yellow post that will signify the end of the fairway, (which will be short of the new 28^th Green).  This green’s use, in the main, will be limited to those using the practice bunker and for close range chipping with up to a maximum of 6 balls. Please refer to below image for specifications.

The new & improved short course will primarily be used by junior and new starter golfers and periodically made available for general use.

At all times, the Club Teaching Professionals have Practice fairway right of use, which is again an unchanged policy.

To ensure the safety and wellbeing of all users, it is imperative that the practice fairway rules of use are followed.

Pace of Play

An alarming trend is starting to emerge regarding pace of play during the Club’s Competitions.  During Winter, the need to remain vigilant in regards to your place in the field becomes paramount.  Below are a few reminders which all members should adhere to while playing during a competition.

• Looking for a lost ball is limited to a maximum 3 minutes (Rule of Golf).
• Let shorter hitters hit first off tee blocks.
• Play ‘Ready golf’

Your place in the field is not in front of the group behind,

it is directly behind the group in front.

The Club has seen several occasions whereby groups lose touch with the group in front and the issue becomes compounded for each group behind.
