Additional Golf Course Regulations

Any group playing at Hayden Lake Country Club will keep pace and contact with the group in front of them. If the hole is open ahead of them, they must invite the group behind them to play through. Rules apply for twosomes, threesomes, and foursomes, but not singles, as they have no standing on the course. On a par four, an open hole is described as the players of the group ahead leaving the putting green before the group behind has hit their tee shot on that hole. On a par five, being a hole behind is described as all of the players in the group ahead being on the putting surface before the group behind has hit their first tee shot. On a par three, an open hole is when the hole has been vacated prior to a group’s arrival to the tee. In this case players should hit their tee shots and allow the next group to play through.
 
The USGA has rated our course for the purposes of pace of play. The pace of play will be monitored daily by the golf professionals and rigidly enforced particularly on Saturday mornings.
 
HLCC course rated time is 3 hours 50 minutes. Those groups unable to complete the round in the allotted time are subject to tee time restrictions by the Golf Committee and the Board of Directors. The Club does not encourage dogs on the course. Any dogs on the course or grounds must abide by the following guidelines:
 

• All dogs must be leashed (either physically or electronically) at all times while on club grounds and property.
• All dog waste must be promptly and properly disposed of. Dog owners, like all on the course, must follow golf etiquette rules and procedures. 

 
If any dog becomes agitated or barks excessively, it is the members’ responsibility to quickly remove him from the property.
 

All golfers are expected to wear clothing designed primarily for golf. The general rule is smart, casual clothing that is appropriate to the occasion, time of day and time of year. 
Shoes must be worn at all times on the golf course. Golf shoes with metal spikes shall not be allowed on the golf course. Non-golf sportswear such as tee shirts, bathing suits and workout/fitness attire are not allowed. 

For Men: Appropriate golf attire includes collared shirts, golf slacks or shorts and golf shoes. The brims of hats and visors are to face forward.

For Ladies: Appropriate golf attire includes collared shirts, leggings, golf slacks or shorts, culottes, dresses and golf shoes.  Non-golf sportswear such as tee shirts and tank tops are not permitted. Bare midriffs are not acceptable.

When in doubt as to what is appropriate, apparel should be tasteful and conservative, similar to the types of clothing available in the HLCC Golf Shop.
