Hole #3: The woodchips areas on the right side of the cart path play as ground under repair (GUR). Nearest point of relief, not closer to the hole, one club length.

Hole #4: When your ball ends up in the concrete ditch, you will get free relief from where your ball entered the ditch, as applicable to an immovable object/obstruction. Nearest point of relief, not closer to the hole, one club length.*

Hole #5: The concrete ditch gets similar relief as Hole#4.* The wood chips on the left side of the fairway play as ground under repair (GUR). Nearest point of relief, not closer to the hole, one club length. The toilet building on the right offers relief of swing and stance only, not relief of line of sight.

Hole #6: The woodchips areas on the right side of the fairway, by the trees, play as GUR. Nearest point of relief, not closer to the hole, one club length.

Hole #8: The tree line on the left side of the fairway is considered the entry of a red stake hazard area. You can play your ball from the hazard when possible using regular hazard rules. If your ball is lost or unplayable, you can drop the ball within two club lengths of where the ball last crossed the margin (boundary) of the hazard, making sure the ball is not closer to the hole, one stroke penalty.

Hole #10: The concrete ditch gets similar relief as Hole#4.*

Hole #12: When your tee shot hits the wires (not the structure holding the wires), you must replay your tee shot, until a ‘clean’ shot is in play, no penalty. The concrete ditch gets relief as Hole#4.*

Hole #15: The yellow cable supporting the structure holding the electrical and/or telephone wires in the left corner of the dog leg fairway offers relief of stance and swing only, not relief for line of sight. When hitting the wires over the green you must replay your shot, until a ‘clean’ shot is in play, no penalty.

Hole #16: When your tee shot ends up on the cart path, rolls down and passes the blue line, you will get a drop in the drop zone just in front of the gold tees. No penalty

Hole #17: The cart path on the right could take your ball passed the green. This area is considered out of bounds (OB). 

Hole #18:  The concrete ditch gets similar relief as hole#4.*

 

*) relief is obtained where the ball enters the ditch, no matter where it ends up afterwards
