FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions:
- Pace of play – number one hot topic at golf courses. Players are required to keep pace at all times. The goal is 4 hours with the expectation of keeping pace with the group in front of you. Inability to do so will result in being asked to skip hole(s) to regain proper position. Staff will make players aware of the situation before action is required. Players refusing to adhere will be asked to leave with partial refund for un-played holes. This is necessary to provide enjoyment for all the players who teed off behind you.
- Cart Rental – carts are designed for 2 persons (double-occupancy) and to be shared. For those who choose to ride solo there is a $8 surcharge based on availability. Whenever possible please declare at check-in if you are choosing to ride solo. For efficiency, the course will always try to match players so there are not more than 2 carts, per tee time. Carts are not issued more than 30 minutes prior to tee off to ensure availability to groups with earlier tee times.
