Important:Your score matters for the individual game, so please do not pick up your ball until you've reached the maximum gross double bogey — even if your partner has already secured a score for the team game.

Pace of Play

Your golf cart will show you how you're tracking against the 4 hour and 10 minute standard course pace.

If a group finishes more than 10 minutes behind pace (4:20) and there is significant room in front of them, each member of the foursome will be deducted 2 points for every 10 minutes behind pace.

Note: you will not be deducted points if the reason you finish late is because you're waiting on the group in front of you.

If you're falling behind, encourage the others in your group to play faster, or skip a hole and come back to play it after the round — you will not be deducted points for skipping and coming back.

Other Rules

Integrity is everything. We want this to be fun and inclusive, but also fair. We have a zero-tolerance policy for cheating.

Each twosome must keep the score for the other twosome on the paper scorecard and on the golf cart electronic scorecard during the round. Enter the gross score for each player and the system will calculate the points for the games.

  • ·All putts must be holed out. No gimmes — regardless of distance.
  • ·No improving your lie. Play it as it lies.
  • ·Max score per hole: Gross double bogey. Pick up your ball once you're at that score.
  • ·Lost ball or OB: Replay from the original spot with penalty, or take your max gross double. Always hit a provisional if there's a chance your ball is lost or OB.
