Golf Rules and Regulations

I. General
The following rules and regulations are set forth to ensure maximum enjoyment and safety to all golfers. It is to be expected that the pride we take in the The Meadows Golf and Swim Club, coupled with the thoughtfulness and consideration of our patrons, will make enforcement of these rules minimal. Management reserves the right to alter or adjust these guidelines as deemed appropriate.

III. Regulations for Play
1. It shall be the duty of the Golf Professional Staff to regulate the time and start of play. Scheduled golf events may necessitate a need to adjust normal tee time intervals. This will be done in a fashion that maintains the quality and speed of play. A 4 1/2 hour round is the standard at ‘The Meadows”.
2. All groups are required to start from their assigned hole and play the course in proper sequence.
3. Practice on the golf course is prohibited. All practice must take place in the designated areas: driving range, putting and chipping greens.
5. Members are permitted to walk any time during the months of November, December, January, February and March. They may also walk on weekdays from April 1 to October 31; and before 8:30 am and after 1:30 PM on weekends and holidays. Non-Members are permitted to walk on weekdays and after 1:30 PM on weekends and holidays, however current rates and fees are in effect. When course conditions are “Cart Path Only”, members may walk anytime.
6. Rain Checks will be issued only when inclement weather causes the course to become unplayable and management closes the course for the day. (Current rain check policy details will be posted in the golf shop.)
7. Junior Golfers: Parents are responsible at all times for the actions of junior golfers. A parent or an adult must be present with any junior, age12 or under, while using the facility. An adult must be present when a golf cart is in use and is the only one permitted to drive.

IV. Practice Area
1. Driving Range hours will be posted. The Golf Professional Staff will adjust such hours should conditions warrant a change.

Adherence to these rules will help us create an environment that we can all be proud of as we use this great facility. Thanks for your cooperation.
