SPECIAL RULES OF PLAY

​

  • TO PLAY IN THE LEGENDS COMPETITION, PARTICIPANTS MUST HAVE A GHIN HANDICAP.  

    • Guests and one-time participants without handicaps may play, but their scores will not be used for the team competition.  
       

  • PACE OF PLAY:

    • RVR required pace of play is 4 hours 10 minutes, but the Legends goal is to COMPLETE OUR ROUND IN 4 HOURS.  

    • If a group fails to keep its place on the course and loses more than one clear hole on the players in front, the group may be asked to skip a hole to catch up.

    • In that event, the group is disqualified from the Legends competition.  
       

  • PUTTS:

    • Inside 24” considered good.  Please mark the shaft of your putter accordingly.  
       

  • PLAY THE BALL AS IT EXCEPT:

    • You may roll the ball in the FAIRWAY. 

    • IN THE BUNKERS:

      • If the ball comes to rest in an area that is not dry, raked sand, or is in a footprint, the golfer may place the ball in the nearest suitable area within the bunker, no closer to the hole.  If no such area is available, the golfer may rake a spot in the bunker, no closer to the hole, before placing his ball.

      • RVR Local Rule:  Stones are movable obstructions and may be removed.  
         

  • TWO MINUTES MAX LOOKING FOR LOST BALLS.  
     

  • RVR NATIVE GRASS LOCAL RULE:
