Rules, Regulations And Golfing Etiquette

Huron Oaks and Greenwood have established guidelines for all members and patrons to follow. Etiquette is a set of standards used by golfers to establish proper conduct of players during the game to ensure the game is played in a fair and courteous manner. During play at the course, members and guests are to follow some common rules and courtesies to ensure that all are able to have an enjoyable game. These rules are described in the RCGA rules book and should be read by all players.

  • Slow play spoils the game for everyone. Please keep pace with the group in front of you.
  • No player should play until the players in front are out of range.
  • In the interest of all, players should play without delay.
  • Make a practice of REPAIRING at least 1 ball mark on a green whether YOUR’S or ANOTHER’S.
  • Rake the sand traps after hitting your ball. Replace divots on the course.
  • Do not litter or throw anything on the course.
  • Carts must be kept away from the greens and tees

SLOW PLAY: Players should always play their game as quickly as possible and keep up to the group in front, especially during busy times. It should only take a foursome at Huron Oaks, 4 1/2 hrs and Greenwood 4 hours to complete 18 holes.

Players should take extra care on their assigned hole. They are always to repair their own ball marks on the green and if time permits, repair others.

Players can help further by picking up garbage, filling in divots on tees or fairways and raking sand traps.

With a little extra effort on your hole, our course will be kept in outstanding shape and thereby create the most enjoyable playing conditions.

To reduce undue wear to the course, players should not take warm up or practice swings on the tees. If a divot is taken, it should be replaced and pressed down firmly. Before leaving a bunker, smooth over all holes and footprints made by you. If time permits, smooth over any others.
