Local Rules
Entfelden Agricultural Areas Code of Conduct
Entering agricultural areas beyond the boundaries at holes 1, 6, 7 and 8, identified by white stakes with black tops, is prohibited. Repeated non-compliance may result in a ban in addition to the general penalty.
Entfelden Hole 17 Obstruction
The stone blocks on the left of hole 17 and the protective mesh attached to them are treated as one immovable obstruction. Free relief under Rule 16.1 is available; alternatively the player may take unplayable-ball relief under Rule 19.2 or use the marked dropping zone within one club-length.
Entfelden Integral Objects
Wooden bunker lips and man-made heaps of stones in the area of holes 5 through 8 are integral objects, so free relief under Rule 16.1 is not available from them.
Entfelden Penalty Area Relief
The 2026.1 Local Rules provide additional dropping-zone options for specified penalty-area situations, including an additional option at hole 5. Use the dropping zone nearest the point where the ball last crossed the penalty-area edge, within the defined relief area; confirm the current marked zone on site.
