Dress Code & Etiquette

Caldy is proud of it’s history and standing as a members’ Club. We request that all members and visitors adhere to the appropriate etiquette and dress code.

General Playing Rules and Etiquette

Play must not start on the 12th tee if a match is VISIBLE on the 11th hole.
No visitors or member’s guests are allowed on a Wednesday competition day in the summer, even after the competition finishes.
The board outside the Pro Shop will give information on tee of the day, flag positions and local rules.
Please read the Health & Safety Notes and Local Rules on your scorecard.
All golfers are responsible for repairing their own pitch marks correctly. (See notice board outside Pro Shop).
Golfers should not strike missed putts off the green which can cause damage to the putting surface.
Smashing clubs into a tee surface after a poorly played stroke is deemed not to be good golf etiquette.
Golfers are responsible for raking bunkers and replacing the rake in line with Green Committee guidelines. (See notice board outside the Professional Shop).
Golfers must replace their divots and use divot mix where provided on the teeing areas.
Golfers should remove broken tee pegs from the teeing area.
Trolley etiquette – please keep off teeing areas and the areas between greens and greenside bunkers.
Golfers are asked to maintain a good pace of play and as a guide fourball groups should endeavour to complete their rounds within 4 hours.
Marker posts – you cannot remove the white out of bounds marker posts at any time (as per the rules of golf). However, distance, red or yellow markers may be removed in order to play a shot but must be replaced immediately in the hole provided. This also applies to the traffic management roping on the course.

Dress Code in the Clubhouse and on the Course

Members, guests and visitors are required to maintain a satisfactory standard of dress at all times both in the Clubhouse and on the Golf Course.
