CITY OF LITTLE FALLS GOLF COURSE POLICIES This Golf Club is operated by the pleasure of its members and guests. The affairs of the club will be conducted by a mayor-appointed Advisory Board. The Advisory board will normally meet the fourth Thursday of each month at 4:00 p.m. in the Clubhouse. All meetings are open and the public is invited to attend. Constructive ideas should be brought to the attention of the Advisory Board Chairman so they may be placed on the upcoming meeting agenda. RULES AND REGULATIONS The following rules and regulations were prepared by the Advisory Board and have been voted on with unanimous approval. These are simple ordinary rules that are common to all good golf courses. We request your cooperation by observing membership rules, golf etiquette and all general rules. Have fun! LOCAL CLUB POLICIES No outside beer or alcoholic beverages may be brought onto the golf course premises. Persons must have their own set of clubs. A fivesome is a privilege – not a right – please check with Pro Shop personnel. All golfers playing 18 holes must start on #1. Persons playing 9 holes who wish to start off the back nine may do so only with permission of the starter or Pro Shop personnel. Dogs and pets are not allowed on the golf course. Golf ball hunting and selling is not allowed. No practicing on greens or fairways. We have a driving range and practice greens for that purpose. All golfers must sign up in the Pro Shop or check with starter before teeing off. Shirts are required at all times. Holes must be played in order, no jumping around. Golfers found in violation of any of the policies will be given a verbal warning on their first offense. The offense will be noted and reviewed by Management and the Golf Advisory Board. A second violation of any policy will result in a written warning from the Advisory Board. The third violation will terminate and forfeit membership to the league and all golf play for the remainder of the season at the Little Falls Country Club.
