More information

Extreme weather conditions / course temporarily unplayable

The Committee will take necessary steps to cancel any round or event prior to play commencing and provide early notice wherever possible.

 

As the course is controlled by the Pro Shop, players are advised that it is impossible for the Committee to suspend play during any particular event once it has started. It is therefore the player’s responsibility to choose to participate in the event.

During Extreme Weather Conditions:
  • Members on course may take shelter on the course for a limited time (30 minutes maximum)
  • Members booked to play may amend their tee time with the permission of the Captain/Pro Shop

Failure to complete the round will disqualify a player from the competition.

Other related matters:

  • Players must generally comply with booked Tee Times
  • A competition is deemed to stand unless more than half the field fails to complete the round, or insufficient players (usually 10 per grade minimum) participate.

Heat Policy

If on the night prior to the competition, the evening news telecasts a weather forecast of 40 degrees or higher for the following day, the scheduled competition will be cancelled.
