Adopted local Rules

 1. Out of bounds is defined by white stakes and all boundary fences. On Hole 7 East, balls hit left of white  stakes attached to palm trees are out of bounds (A-4). White stakes are immoveable obstructions for  play on Hole 6 East.  

2. All flower beds, potted plants, and staked trees are no play zones. Please take free relief (E-10). 

 3. On Holes 6, 7, & 8 North, the margin of the lateral water hazard is defined by the outside edge of the  concrete.  

4. On Holes 1 & 8 South, the driving range is a no play zone. Any ball crossing the margin of the penalty  area and cannot be found is deemed to be in the penalty area. Balls crossing into the range over the line  of the fence are out of bounds.

 5. Unpaved roads on Holes 1 & 2 North are immovable obstructions. You may take free relief (F-17). 

6. If you do not know whether the ball is in a penalty area, you may play a provisional ball (B-3). 

7. You may take free relief from sprinkler heads within 2 club-lengths of the green and on the line of play  when the ball is within 2 club-lengths of those immovable obstructions (F-5). 

8. You may use the Alternative to Stroke & Distance for Lost Ball or Ball Out of Bounds by dropping a  ball in a Relief Area no closer to the hole (that may include the fairway) for a 2-stroke penalty
