A Guide to Golf Etiquette – Play Smart, Play Fair, Play with Style!

Golf isn’t just about sinking that perfect putt—it’s about respect for the game, the course, and your fellow players. To keep things running smoothly (especially on busy days), let’s all do our part in following a few simple guidelines.

Pace of Play – If your group falls behind and loses a clear hole, be a good sport and let the following players play through. No one likes a traffic jam on the fairway!

Lost Ball? Don’t Stall! – Searching for that rogue shot? If you’re taking the full 3 minutes to look, wave the next group through.

Dress to Impress (or at Least to Respect) – A reasonable dress code applies on the course and in the clubhouse. Singlets, jandals, and bare feet? Not today, sorry!

Respect the Course – Keep it clean and tidy: replace divots, smooth out bunkers, and repair ball marks on the greens. Let’s leave the course better than we found it.

Mind Your Language – Keep the conversation classy! Coarse language won’t be tolerated either on the course or in the clubhouse.

Bin It, Don’t Drop It – Rubbish and bottles go in the bins provided. Let’s keep the fairways looking fresh!
