A schedule of events is available in the Pro Shop. The Master Schedule is posted above the tee-time sign-up sheets on the verandah. Schedule revisions are posted periodically throughout the season, so make sure you are looking at the most recent version! Notices of local events are posted on the bulletin board on the verandah. Information on out-of-town events for men can be found on the notice board in the men’s locker room. For ladies’ events, the information is posted on the bulletin board in the hallway leading to the ladies’ locker room. Junior events are posted on the board between the pop machines and the kitchen entrance.
Adult and Senior members may play at any time during the week or on weekends provided there is no event or tournament scheduled. Full members are eligible to play in club competitions. Tee-times are mandatory for regular play.
Junior members may not play until after 2:00 pm on weekends and holidays, and may not tee off between 4:15 and 7:00 pm on weekdays. Junior members are eligible to compete in some adult events. Consult the Junior Director for more information.
Players must sign-up on the tee-time sheets posted on the verandah. Members may only sign up 3 times on the posted 5-day period. However, members are permitted to play at other times, in unreserved time slots. Consult with Pro Shop staff before going to the tee.
The Deep River Golf Course has a dress code that is enforced by Pro Shop staff. Players not adhering to the dress code will not be permitted to play on the course. The following are the specifics of the code:
No gym shorts, bathing suits, cut-off jeans, tennis shorts or short shorts.
Shorts must be finger tip length.
No halter tops or tank tops.
All shirts must be full length.
Footwear must be appropriate for golf.
Normally, nine holes should be completed within two hours. If there is more than one hole between you and the players in front, and there is group immediately behind you, the following group should be waved through.
If a ball may be lost, or out-of-bounds, a provisional ball should be played. Players are allowed five minutes to search for a lost ball. At the end of this time they must either abandon the ball and play the provisional, or allow the group following to play through while they continue their search. Note that, under the rules of golf, a ball not found within the initial five minutes is lost and may not be played if found after this time.
You should not play until the players in front are out of range, particularly when you are approaching the green.
No one should move or talk when a player is addressing the ball. Nor should they stand directly behind him/her or in his/her line of vision.
All divots should be replaced. In taking practice swings, players should avoid damage to the course, particularly on the teeing ground. Ball marks and damage caused by spikes should be repaired before a group leaves the green.
Before leaving a bunker, players should carefully rake over all holes and footprints.
Golf carts should be kept a reasonable distance from teeing grounds and greens. Power carts should be kept at least 15 yards from greens.
