General Golf Information

Starting Time Policy

- Prior to play, each member should schedule a starting time.  This provides the staff with a schedule of play which will help us better service the membership.

-  Members can schedule starting
times (7) days in advance.

-  Each member is responsible for registering in
the golf shop prior to play.  Members who do
not check in are subject to all fees charged
to their account by the golf staff.

-  Anyone late for his or her starting time will be rescheduled as soon as time is available.  It is not club policy to work the late group into normal play.

-  Non-playing spectators may be permitted
from time to time during extremely slow playing times.  Prior permission is needed from the professional staff
prior to arrival.  Please do not show up and expect permission to be granted. Spectators are responsible for their portion of the golf cart rental fee.  No more than
two people will be permitted on one golf cart.
 

-  Unused member tee-times may be used
from time to time by the club at the
discretion of the professional staff.

-  Fivesomes are not permitted without special
permission being granted by the professional staff. 
Times when fivesomes will be permitted will be
reserved to extremely slow days when there is
no play scheduled behind the group wanting
to play as a fivesome.


Handicaps

-  All scores must be entered into the handicap system, both home and away.  Make sure to adjust your score before entering it into the computer.  There is a
maximum score you can take on any given hole depending on your handicap.  If you pick up on a hole, record the score you most likely would have had,
but no more than your maximum listed below.

        Handicap       Maximum Score on Any Hole
        9 or less                     Double Bogey

         10 - 19                       7

         20 - 29                       8

         30 - 39                       9

         40 or more                10

- The following events should always be posted as tournament scores:  Masters, Medal Play Championship, US Open, British Open, Big Sandy, PGA Championship, and the Senior Club Championship.

-  For those who do not enter all scores or the correct score the professional staff reserves the right to enter a penalty score and ratings equal to the lowest handicap differential in the player’s scoring record. The
professional staff also reserves the right to adjust handicaps as needed for tournament play.

-  Members must have an established Rattlesnake
Ridge Golf Club USGA handicap to participate
in club related golf events.


Tournaments & Entry Fees

to the members account.

Pace of Play

- In accordance with the USGA Pace Rating System, a round of golf shall not exceed: 4 hours and 17 minutes (18-holes) or 2 hours and 6 minutes (9-holes).

- "Ready Golf" - Players are expected to be ready
to hit their next shot, regardless of position. "Ready Golf" encourages players to move on to the next tee before stopping to mark down scores, thereby making the
green available to approaching players.

- "Course Monitors" - During peak playing times, Rattlesnake Ridge Staff will be monitoring the golf
course for proper pace of playand course etiquette.

When needed, "Course Monitors" will enforce
the following "Slow Play Policy"
When a player or group is deemed to be behind the stated pace of play a Rattlesnake Ridge Course Monitor will assist in the following:

1) Issue a warning to the player or group.
The Course Monitor will stay with the group
and assist in any way possible.

2) If the player or group does not improve their pace upon the completion of the next hole, the player
or group will be moved to the proper
location on the course.

3) If the player or group falls out of place again,
the group will be issued a rain check to return
during non-peak playing times. (This request may
not be denied). Tee times for groups asked to leave
due to slow play must be arranged by the
professional staff. Guest fees will not be returned.
