Cancellation Policy
Any event that offers food or prizes needs to have a policy that covers costs and discourages last minute cancellations. Any event that shows “cancellation policy is in effect” at the bottom of the format bullets will mean the following: After the signup deadline, if a member or team needs to cancel, any remaining alternates will be contacted to fill in. If no alternates are available, the member or members responsible will be charged for the amount of the entry fee that covers food and prizes.
Local Rules
Distance measuring devices are allowed for Crystal Tree sponsored events.
When a player hits a ball out of bounds, you will have 2 options; 1) Stroke and distance aka replaying from the original spot. 2) Determine the spot where the ball went out of bounds. Relief options; find the nearest fairway edge to the spot no closer to the hole and drop OR drop at the point where the ball crossed the out of bounds line.
Embedded ball rule is in effect through the green. A player may lift, clean and drop the ball as near as possible to the spot that it was embedded, not nearer the hole. A player may do this anywhere on the course, except a bunker or other hazard.
All tournament ties are broken by USGA guidelines which state that ties are broken first by the score of the last nine holes, then the last six holes, then the last three holes, then the last hole unless otherwise stated in the rules.
Designated drop areas are available on holes #7 and #18 if the ball enters the water hazard in front of the drop area. The hole #7 drop area is in front of the Men’s white tee box just before the water. The hole #18 drop area is the white tee box directly in front of the gold tee box.
The fairway bunkers on the 18th hole are deemed “waste bunkers”, allowing for removal of stones and grounding of the club.
For applicable areas on the course (left side of #6, right side of #7, left side of #18, right side of #1, etc.), a player may drop on the opposite side of the cart path if:
1. The player’s ball is in a hazard and elects to take the stroke penalty and drop but the cart path is within 2 club lengths of the hazard, or
2. The player’s ball is on the cart path, and a hazard is within 1 club length of the nearest point of relief from the cart path.
