Will the Events Be Riding Carts?

Yes, all of our events are riding, with the exception of our majors, which we require the player to walk.

Can I Use a Range Finder?

Yes, all forms of measuring devices are permitted provided they don't provide the slope or wind. Hole location sheets will also be available for the players.

Can I Have a Caddie?

Yes. The caddie may also ride with the player provided they are in a cart to themselves. We ONLY allow 2 carts per group (we are usually in threesomes, but occasionally play in foursomes). In the case that we are in twosomes, ONLY 1 cart will be allowed per group. ALL PLAYERS WISHING TO HAVE THEIR OWN CART MAY DO SO BY PAYING FOR IT THROUGH THE HOST CLUBS PRO SHOP.

Do You Allow Spectators?

Yes, we encourage all players to invite spectators to watch. They MUST adhere to club rules regarding dress code and will be allowed to purchase a cart to ride IF they are available. In this case, the Tour requires that all spectator carts remain on the paths. NO EXCEPTIONS!
