Local Rules Update

The Golf Committee has made the following decisions regarding local rules which will be in play from Saturday 7th September 2024 (Tomorrow) 

WAITEMATA MOGULS ON HOLE 16 

As the depressions in the 16th fairway (the Waitemata Moguls) are getting deeper, the golf committee has decided to implement a new temporary local. 

The clean and place rule will be extended to 1 club length between the beginning of the fairway and the blue stakes approximately 180m from the green. 

This rule will only apply when a player’s ball lies in the fairway. 

BUNKERS 

While we are getting regular heavy rain which leaves the condition of our bunkers so inconsistent, the rake and replace local rule will remain in effect until further notice. Bunkers deemed GUR will be marked with a sign where appropriate. 

RELIEF FROM TREE ROOTS 

If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots which are in the general area and not within 1 club length of the base of a tree, the tree roots are treated as ground under repair. 

The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b. Interference does not exist if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.

Course

Please be mindful of the roped off areas throughtout the course. Our team have done this as they are either still too wet or the grass needs a break from foot traffic. Please use the paths where you can, this is to keep the course in the best condition we can during the wet weather. A prime example of this is the 9th green. Do not take your trundler across the green. Walk around the bunker.
