Cedar Springs Golf Rules
Local Rule: Lateral Hazards
The Golf Committee has deemed some additional areas as Lateral Hazards. These areas are marked with Red Stakes and include the whole area inside the stakes. The red staked areas on the golf course are:
- # 4 - right side (wet area)
- #5 - left side of fairway off the tee, right side from tree at bottom of hill to near green
- #6 - entire left side to near green
- #7 - right side of fairway (fescue)
- #8 - triangular area at left end comer
- You do not have to find your ball in a lateral hazard.
- If you find it and want to play it - play it as it lies - do not ground your club or clear any debris/grass away from the ball.
- If you choose not to play the ball in the hazard, you measure two club lengths from the point where the ball entered the hazard, drop the ball and count one penalty stroke.
Local Rule: Winter Rules
A ball lying on a closely-mown area through the green may be lifted without penalty and cleaned. Before lifting the ball, the player must mark its position. Having lifted the ball, he must place it on a spot within six inches of and not nearer the hole than where it originally lay, that is not in a hazard and not on a putting green.
Local Rule: Tree Bed on #7
The bed of the new tree planting in front of #7 green is to be treated as ground under repair. The player must lift the ball and drop it, without penalty, within one club-length of and not nearer the hole than the nearest point of relief.
