Local rules
Course boundaries:
- Course boundaries are marked by white stakes and white lines.
- Out of bounds is defined by two stakes close to each other, while an arrow on the ground indicates the direction of out of bounds area.
- When playing from other holes, the stake marking the inner boundary is defined as an immovable obstruction.
Water hazards:
- Water hazards are marked by lines and stakes.
- The line precisely determines the boundary of the hazard, while the stake merely defines it.
- The ball is in the hazard when any part of it touches the lines or an imaginary line between the stakes (if there is no line).
- Stakes marking water hazards are movable obstructions.
- Bridges are part of the water hazard.
- When making a stroke from a bridge in a water hazard, players may touch the surface of the bridge with their clubs.
Moving obstructions:
- Stones and rakes in sand obstacles
- Stakes marking water hazards
- Distance markers (measurement from the front edge of the green)
Immoveable obstructions:
- Benches and trash cans
- Trees supported by wooden stakes together form an immoveable obstruction
- Sprinkler heads, manhole covers
- Ball and club cleaners
- Black and white stakes indicating the recommended direction of play
- Artificial surfaced and imaginary paths
- Crushed bark and plants covered with it
Protection of young trees:
- All individually planted young trees, supported by at least one stake, which are not part of a continuous forest stand, fall under the young tree protection rule (exempt ball drop).
Safety:
- You enter the golf course on your own responsibility
- In the event that you feel that you may be at risk from lightning, immediately interrupt the game and move to the clubhouse without waiting for the corresponding signal.
- The signal given by the marshal to immediately stop play due to lightning danger is a long siren tone.
- By disregarding this warning, you risk not only potential penalties from the marshal (being expelled from the premises and forfeiture of fees) but also your health and life.
- Players on the driving range will also move to the covered teeing area, their cars or the clubhouse immediately after the siren signal.
- Failure to obey the call to stop training and leave the grass tees will lead to penalties similar to those imposed on the course.
- When resuming the game, follow the instructions of the marshals and the golf reception.
- Be considerate of other players and follow safety rules
- Never stand in the anticipated direction of play of other players, within range of their clubs or at the same level as their balls.
- Observe the prescribed time limits for each hole
- Slow play will be addressed by the marshal (warning, suspension of play and allowing faster groups to play through, expulsion from the course, and forfeiture of fees).
- Players playing too fast, endangering the group in front of them, will be warned or removed from the field
Etiquette:
- Attend to ball marks on the putting greens
- Replace divots on the fairways and semi-rough.
- Do not disturb other players with your behaviour
- Restrict mobile phone use
- Use playing balls only (not driving range balls) – failure to do so will result in a two month suspension from the course and forfeiture of fees.
- Follow staff instructions
- Adhere to the rules of proper behaviour, local rules, and the golf rules of R&A.
Unauthorised clothing:
- Clothes made of blue denim
- In the case of men, trousers shorter than approx. 5 cm above the knees
- In the case of men, t-shirts without a collar
- Tank tops
- Shoes with a hiking soles or other overly distinctive sole designs
Repeated violation of the local rules will be punished with a warning and expulsion from the field!
Particularly serious breaches of safety rules and playing with driving range balls will be punished by expulsion from the field without warning
Have a nice game
