Golf

Reminders

The fall season is a wonderful time to be on the golf course! And we have a very spe­ cial golf course here at Alamance Country Club. As we transition into dormancy im­ proper use of carts and course care neglect will become much more evident and create significant long­term damage!!

We know everyone is eager to get out and enjoy these pleasant days, but please make sure you check in through the Golf Shop for every round. You are responsible for knowing the cart and course rules for the day, and for following those rules while play­ ing. This includes the practice facility set­up.

Golf Course Rules and Etiquette Golf Course Rules and Etiquette • All players are to do their part in keeping our course healthy and beautiful: o Repair your Ball Mark and at least one other on every green o Sand your divots o Rake after yourself in the bunker o Obey Cart Rules • When carts are designated "on path", all 4 wheels must remain on the path at all times • When carts are designated "90 degrees", carts may enter the fairway after the teeing areas and must exit the fairway before the return stakes. Only players with ap­ proved, medical red flags, may take his/her cart closer to a tee or a green ­ and only when carts are designated at "90 degrees" (in these cases the cart should remain on a flat area and at least 10 paces from the green, a bunker, or the tee.

• Push carts must remain away from putting greens, including the collars and spaces between greenside bunkers and the putting surface.

Reminders

•

Tee times are for up to 4 players only, unless previously approved (under very specific circumstances) by the Professional Staff. Unapproved groups exceeding 4 players will be asked to split up immediately. Approved groups exceeding 4 players must split up if they can not maintain pace.

•

All play will start on Hole #1 unless otherwise designated or approved by the Professional Staff and/or Grounds Staff.

•

Our designated Pace of Play is 4 hours or less. Groups who cannot maintain this pace will be asked to speed up or split up.

•

Faster play should be allowed through, as long as there is space ahead, and should not cause additional delay (for example, the group ahead should notify the faster group that they intend to wave them through; the group ahead should hit their next shots and wait for the passing group to hit and proceed forward; the passing group should be respectful and purposeful in passing through)

•

When using the practice tee, you may only hit form the designated stations ­ if the stations are set up on the mats all shots must be struck from the mats. Hitting outside of stations is not safe for the golfer and/or others practicing.

•

Shots hit on the range should not travel higher than the mid­point of the net. Players hitting to the top of the net or over, or otherwise aiming away from the range target areas will be asked to stop immediately. Anyone intentionally hitting over the net or away from the range target areas will be asked to leave the practice facilities and may be subject to privilege suspension.

•

The short game green is the only green where chipping and pitching are permitted. Both the upper (by the 1st tee) and lower (main) putting greens are for putting only.

•

Proper Golf Attire is required at all times when using the practice facilities or playing (details on proper golf attire are on the members' side of the website on the Golf page).
