Golf Etiquette

Etiquette and Dress Code for Playing with Distinction

At the Old Course, we take pride in maintaining the highest standards of golf etiquette to ensure an enjoyable experience for all players. We kindly ask all golfers to follow these guidelines.

Rules & Golf Etiquette

Dress Code

We maintain a smart-casual dress code on the course and in the clubhouse. Appropriate golf attire is required, including collared shirts, tailored shorts or trousers, and soft-spike golf shoes. Denim, swimwear, and non-golf-specific sportswear are not permitted.

Pace of Play

To ensure everyone enjoys their round, please maintain a steady pace of play. Be ready to play when it’s your turn, keep up with the group in front, and limit practice swings. If you fall behind, be courteous and allow faster groups to play through.

Care for the Course

We take great pride in our course’s condition, and we appreciate your help in preserving it:

Repair divots on fairways and pitch marks on greens. 

Rake bunkers after use.
Avoid unnecessary damage by using the designated paths for golf carts and trolleys.

Respect for Other Players

Golf is a game of respect and consideration. Please refrain from making noise while others are playing, and switch off mobile phones or set them to silent mode. Be mindful of your surroundings and avoid causing distractions.

Safety

For your safety and that of others, ensure the area is clear before taking a shot. Never hit when there is a risk of endangering others, and always shout “fore” if your ball heads toward another player.

Golf Carts & Trolleys

Please use the designated cart paths where provided and follow the instructions regarding golf cart and trolley usage. Avoid driving on tees, greens, or bunkers, and keep carts on the paths, especially in wet conditions.
