Temp Greens:

Preferred Lies: (aka, winter rules)

Players may mark, lift, clean and place their ball, no closer to the hole; within one club length in the closely mown areas (fairway and fringe), 6” in the rough and 2nd cut.

Additionally, when a players ball lies in a bunker they may lift, clean, rake and replace their ball. The ball must be replaced in the same spot it was before lifting and raking the bunker. See below for description.

Note: "Closely mown area" means any area of the course, including paths through the rough, cut to fairway height or less.

Exception: A player may not take relief under this Rule if it is clearly unreasonable for him to make a stance

These bunker rules are imposed to make playing conditions as consistent as possible for everyone, there will be times that our maintenance staff are not able to get out and repair each bunker after a rain storm.  All should still be able to play the bunkers as if they had been maintained at normal standards.

Ball in Abnormal Ground Condition Not Found:  16-1e

If it is known or virtually certain that a ball that has not been found is in an abnormal ground condition, the player may take relief under this Rule. The must be dropped at the spot where the ball last crossed the outermost limits of the abnormal ground condition.

Ground Under Repair (GUR): 

During the wet winter months, many areas on the course could be considered GUR but will not be marked. Areas that don’t meet the definition of casual water but have extremely soft, uneven or muddy turf are examples of this.  If the group agrees that the area should be considered GUR a player may take the nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole, without penalty.
