All members, players, and spectators are required to register at the clubhouse and pay the appropriate fees BEFORE heading to the first tee.
In general, the course is open for play beginning at 7:00AM (summer) or 8:00AM (spring/fall) until sunset. Times vary drastically based on the time of year, maintenance needs, and golf outings. Please call the course to inquire about specific hours and availability.
All golfers will begin on the first tee. Do not start play on any hole other than #1 unless authorized by the Clubhouse. This is unfair to other players who may be cut off, and dangerous for your maintenance staff who may not be aware of your sudden presence.
Playing groups shall be composed of four players whenever possible. If three or less people make a tee time, they may be paired with another golfer to make four players. Foursomes have the right of way on the golf course.
Walking is permitted. However, pace of play must be maintained.
No groups larger than five will be allowed to tee off and play together unless approved by the clubhouse.
All players must maintain their place and pace on the course or they will lose their position. If one clear hole is open in front of them, they should allow the waiting group to play through.
Any golf course staff member is authorized to remove a beginner or other person(s) from the course if those person(s) are unable to maintain the normal speed of play by keeping pace with the group in front of them, or refuse to close any gaps in front
of them created by their slow play.
Practice should be confined to designated practice areas. Example: Driving Range or Practice Green. Practicing with multiple golf shots and golf balls is prohibited on golf holes.
All golfers must have their own set of clubs.
Hunting for golf balls, other than that permitted in the “Official Rules of Golf” is NOT permitted. If your ball is lost, you have five minutes to search for your ball otherwise you must drop. Lost golf balls are the property of Honey Creek. If caught ball hunting, you will be asked to leave.
Homes located on the golf course are private property. Please do NOT go onto homeowners property to retrieve errant golf balls. Damage to homeowners property caused by errant golf balls is the responsibility of the golfer.
