CLUB RULES – COURSE

Pace of Play
IGC has a very clear, member benefit strategy and policy in regard to acceptable Pace of Play. The Club officials and the Course Marshals are empowered to implement the Pace of Play policy to facilitate member and guest enjoyment of their golf at IGC.

The full Pace of Play policy and program is published on the IGC website  under ‘Our Club’ and is then under the ‘Member Handbook and Policies’.

Local Rules – follow this link to view the current IGC Local Rules

Observe Tee Markers
Members must play from the teeing ground set by the Course Superintendent.

Course to be followed
Players must observe the round as laid-out, and not ‘cut-in’ anywhere on the course.

Divots

It is each golfer’s responsibility to attend to their divot by knocking the edges of the divot in using the golf club and then fill the divot with sand and leveling with your foot. The dislodged turf should not be replaced.

 

As we are all aware, landing in an unrepaired divot is extremely frustrating. Unrepaired divots also encourage weed activity.

All players must carry sand buckets and use the sand provided to repair divots.

Animals Banned
Members must not bring dogs or other animals on the course or into the Clubhouse.

Children not to be unattended
Members must not allow children under the age of 12 years to be unattended on the golf course and should ensure safety is considered at all times.

Care of Flags
Members must not clean or wipe balls on the flags.

Purchase of Balls on Course Banned
Members must not purchase balls from caddies, employees, or other persons on the course other than the Club’s Professionals, or the Club’s representatives.

Smoking Policy
Smoking is permitted in the designated smoking areas around the Clubhouse. Smoking on the golf course is permitted on the 3, 5, 7 & 9^th holes of each of the Red, Green, Blue & Gold nines. The consumption of food in these designated smoking areas is against the law. It is against the law to smoke outside of these areas and a fine of $150 per individual and incident, if caught, will be imposed by a Qld Health official.

Please note that all staff have been directed to advise members & other patrons of these laws and ask that they are followed.
