Local Rules
Staked trees and ground under repair
White PVC stakes identify protected staked trees. White lines define ground under repair. Free relief applies when these conditions interfere under the stated Rules.
Penalty areas and no-play zones
Red or yellow stakes identify penalty areas. On holes 6 and 16 a provisional ball may be played under the course-specific option. The penalty area around hole 17 is yellow. Blue-staked no-play zones prohibit entry and play; nearest drop zones may be an additional option with one penalty stroke.
Preferred lies, bunkers and suspension
Preferred lies apply only when a day-specific Local Rule allows them, with a maximum 30 cm placement in the general area. With bunker rakes removed, placing in a bunker is allowed only from a footprint or disturbed sand. A siren suspends and, when sounded again, resumes play.
