Local Rules
Out of bounds on holes 9 and 12
On holes 9 and 12, out of bounds is the imaginary line joining the course-side ground-level points of white stakes with black tops and/or boundary fence posts.
Penalty areas on holes 5, 6, 8, 12 and 17
The penalty areas on holes 5, 6, 8, 12 and 17 extend to infinity. Where no line or single row of stakes defines a margin, the edge of grass beside the penalty area is its margin.
Immovable obstructions and staked trees
Staked trees that interfere with stance or swing, coloured stakes other than out-of-bounds stakes, and the concrete drain on hole 6 are immovable obstructions. Relief from interfering staked trees is mandatory.
Sprinkler head near a green
Model Local Rule F-5 provides additional line-of-play relief from sprinkler heads close to putting greens under the two-and-two rule.
Ground under repair
Ground under repair includes marked areas, bunker washouts and bunkers marked by white stakes or signs. Relief is mandatory from continuous-white-line areas and marked compulsory-GUR bunkers.
Penalty-area dropping zone on hole 13
When a ball is known or virtually certain to be in the penalty area behind the 13th green, an additional one-stroke option is to drop within one club-length of the blue dropping stake.
Blue-staked no-play zone on hole 17
A ball known or virtually certain to be in the blue-staked no-play zone on hole 17 requires penalty relief under Rule 17.1e, using the blue stake as reference point.
Alternative for lost ball or out of bounds
Unless otherwise notified, Model Local Rule E-5 allows a two-stroke fairway-drop alternative when a ball is lost or known or virtually certain to be out of bounds.
Bunker occupied by ground staff
A bunker containing a member of ground staff is ground under repair and play from it is prohibited.
