Handicaps
The courses are not suitable for high handicap players or beginners as there are too many long carries from the tee as well as other difficulties. The maximum handicap for a man is 24 and a lady 36. A valid handicap certificate must be produced when signing in. Any player who does not meet the required standard will not be allowed to play.
Arrival

tee times with the Starter of the day.
Caddies
Caddies may be ordered through the Caddiemaster. To avoid disappointment, please give notice of your requirements when booking. Settlement with caddies should be in cash at the end of each round.
The Rules of Golf, as laid down by the Royal and Ancient Golf of St. Andrews shall govern play on the links, and the strict observance of the "Etiquette of Golf" is essential.
Etiquette

Slow Play is not acceptable and players taking excessive time will be warned or asked to leave the links. Players are asked to give way, if they are holding other groups. You must be aware of your position on the course at all times and stay ‘‘behind the group in front not in front of the group behind’’!
