To ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable game, we ask that you follow these guidelines:
- Dress appropriately
- Choose sunsafe clothing, wear a hat and apply sunscreen (Slip, slop, slap!)
- Closed in shoes on the golf course
- Sandals or closed in shoes in the clubhouse
- Clothing with offensive words or images
- Beachwear
- Thongs
- Dirty or torn clothing
- Before you play.
- Check the noticeboard and check your handicap.
- The player with the lowest handicap in any match or competition is automatically the Captain of the Match. It is their responsibility to ensure that etiquette is followed.
- Grab a sand bucket
- Every player must have a set of clubs. Clubs for juniors, men and women are available for hire.
- Be safe and considerate.
- Motorised carts can cause harm! Please drive responsibly. Drivers must be over 17 years of age. Motorised carts must be kept at a minimum of 10 metres from all greens, and 2 metres from tees. For more information, please see our Motorised Cart Policy:
- Do not move, talk or stand close to or directly behind the ball or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke.
- Before leaving a bunker, carefully fill up and smooth over all holes and footprints. Rakes should be replaced in the bunker and parallel to the fairway.
- Please use your sand bucket! Make sure that any turf cut or displaced is replaced at once and pressed down.
- Ensure any damage to a putting green is carefully repaired.

- Tips for keeping play moving.
- Move briskly between shots and plan shots on the way to where your ball lies.
- In stroke play, play “ready golf” in a safe and responsible way to improve the Pace of Play as per rule 6.4.
- If you are in any doubt as to the location of the ball following a shot, play a provisional ball before searching for the original ball.
- If you are searching for a ball, please call other players through if they are waiting.
- Call faster players through when the course ahead is clear for more than one fairway.
- Move away from the green before marking cards. The player with the honour should, where possible, play from the tee before marking their card.
- When approaching the green, leave carts/buggies to the side from which you will proceed to the next tee.
- Please return completed scorecards to the office as soon as your game is finished, then put your clubs away and return your cart.
