Maintenance Road: Hole #5: The road on the left side is an Immovable Obstruction and the player is entitled to relief as prescribed in Rule16.1

 

Public Road: A ball coming to rest on or beyond a public road defined as out of bounds is out of bounds, even if it comes to rest on another part of the course that is in bounds for other holes.

 

Out of Bounds:  Defined by either white stakes, edges of cart paths, boundary fences/walls, curbs of public roads, and white painted lines. 

Note:   - Left of hole #2 the Fence line defines out of bounds

- Behind the green of hole #9 the white line will define out of bounds

 

Protection of Young Trees:  Protection of young trees is identified by stakes or wiring. The young trees identified are no play zones. If a player’s ball lies anywhere on the course other than in a penalty area and it lies on or touches such a tee or such a tree interferes with the player’s stance or area or intended swing, the player must take relief under rule 16.1f. If the ball lies in a penalty area, and interference to the player’s stance or area of intended swing exists from such a tree, the player must take relief either with penalty under Rule 17.1e or with free relief under Rule 17.1e(2). 

 

Ground Under Repair: GUR has been marked with white paint.  If your ball is not found it must be known or virtually certain it has gone into the area of GUR.
