Golf Rules & Regulations for Crofton Country Club



Weekday Tee Times: Tee Times may be requested up to 7 days in advance during the week. Tee Times will start at 8:00 am (April–October).


Weekend Tee Times: Tee Times will start at 7:00 am on the weekends/Holidays with 8 minute intervals. Requests for weekend tee times must be received by the Close of Business on Wednesday. Tee Times are drawn at the close of business Wednesday evening for the upcoming weekend. Canceling a reserved tee time is required.

 

Guest Policy: Guests are permitted to play with a Member Tuesday-Thursday. Please contact the Head Golf Professional for requests over 1 foursome. One guest per member is allowed Friday-Sunday, unless approved by the Head Golf Professional before 11:00 am.  Any requests above the standard guest policy is required 1 day in advance of requested date of play. The same guest may not play more than 1 time per month regardless of which member they play with. All Members and their Guests MUST REGISTER in the Pro Shop. Guests are limited to 6 "Guest Rounds" per year. Fivesomes are only permitted with approval by the Head Golf Professional.

 

Course Conditions & Cart Rules: Please enter the fairway at 90 degrees and remain on the fairway until signage requests the return to the cart path.  The conditions of the day will be posted in the Pro-Shop and located on the 1st and 10th Tee. Additional communication will be available on the mobile app by 7am under "Course Conditions." Fill your divots, rake the bunkers, and fix your ball marks. During the summer, carts may be restricted from driving on the fairway due to stress.


Handicap Flags: Flags will be issued to individuals that have a state registered vehicle handicap permit. Flagged carts will be provided reasonable accommodations for additional access that is dependent on course conditions. Carts are always restricted from the tee complex and green surrounds. Handicapped players are provided access to park their cart 10 feet from any green while the cart is on the FAIRWAY.

 

Pace of Play: The ideal pace of play for 18 holes of golf is 4 hours. Weekend Tee Times are required to play at a pace of under the 4 hour mark for reservations before 9am. NOTE: It is much more important to maintain the Pace with the group AHEAD of you as opposed to staying ahead of the group behind you! If your group should fall behind pace, you will be asked to move along. Falling just half of a hole behind is the equivalent of losing one tee time off the tee sheet. Your respect for the Course Official and your fellow Members behind you is appreciated. One Warning will be given to groups that continue to be behind Pace of the course. If a second warning is warranted, the group will be asked to skip holes in order to get back into position. (if a hole is skipped, a score can still be posted as long as the player using their stroke allotment for that hole)

NOTE: Habitual offenders may lose the privilege of preferred early tee times.

 

Handicaps: The official handicap season for posting scores is March 15th- November 15th. A “true handicap” is based on 20 acceptable 18-hole rounds. A “temporary handicap” is calculated after 5 gross scores and is updated with each new score until 20 scores are posted. In order to participant in any handicapped Crofton Country Club Tournament/Event, a “true handicap” must be established, unless otherwise approved by the Tournament Committee. Handicaps are updated on the 1st and 15th of every month during official handicap posting season.

 

Music: Music on the golf course is permitted as long as the individual is mindful of his/her playing partners, fellow Members on the golf course, and the Crofton community. An individual may be asked to turn his/her music down in order to maintain these guidelines. However, if the music continues to be played at a level that is at a disturbance to another Member and/or the Crofton community, the individual will be asked to turn off the device for the remainder of their round.

 

Five-Somes: Are permitted Monday-Thursday during slow times of the day with the permission of the Head Golf Professional. However, five-somes WILL NOT be permitted Friday-Sunday regardless of tee sheet capacity and/or the groups pace of play.


Dress Code: Please adhere to the dress code policy when on the golf course and practice area. No denim, t-shirts or athletic/mesh shorts.


Failure to adhere to rules and regulation may result in disciplinary action
