• Rangers and staff may patrol the course, please follow their instructions.
• Each player must use their own clubs; rentals are available if needed.

• Maintain course conditions: repair ball marks, rake bunkers, fill divots, and follow daily cart rules.

Dress Code

On the Golf Course & Practice Areas:

• Proper golf attire is required at all times.
• Collared or mock neck shirts (tucked in), appropriate shorts or pants, and golf footwear are expected.

Pace of Play

• The expected pace is 3 hours and 54 minutes (approx. 13 minutes per hole).
