A ball in the semi-rough or rough must be played as it lies.

The Sandy Hills Links will be open on Sat 25th & Sun 26th of Feb.
All members are kindly asked to keep all pull trolleys, electric trolleys and drive buggies well back from the roped off putting green surrounds and all teeing areas on all golf holes as we try to protect the main playing surfaces as much as possible over the winter months.
All players are asked to play from the mats provided on the Par 3’s and not from the turf teeing area directly behind or alongside the mats.
All of the clearly marked areas on holes 1, 8, 9 and 13 on the Sandy Hills Links that are currently under construction are ground under repair.
