2023 GOLF GUIDEBOOK

2023 GOLF SEASON

Dear Cullasaja Golf Family,

On behalf of the entire Cullasaja Club team, we hope you are excited for the upcoming 2023 Golf Season. I look forward to hearing about your winter months away and how you worked on your game. As always, our #1 priority is making sure you completely enjoy the Cullasaja Club golf experience. To that extent, please review this guidebook and look for the remarkable opportunities to participate in our programs and events this season. The Golf Professional Staff has scheduled a full season of events catering to players of all ages and abilities. Most of all, these events were thoughtfully created with the input of the Golf Committee and WGA with an emphasis of fun and competition. When you return, you will see many golf course improvements that will improve your enjoyment of the course. Our superintendent, Tom Nelson and his staff, with the assistance of Bill Bergin and his incredible team, have done an amazing job of making our course current and improving playability. We believe that the changes made will increase the overall enjoyment for the high handicap player while keeping a challenging course design for our lower handicap players. We can’t wait to hear what you think about the renovated course. As we wait for your arrival, we simultaneously thank you for your support of our Golf Shop and golf programs. We can’t have great experiences without great people, and we are so thankful for all the great Members here at Cullasaja Club. Travel safe as you venture back to Highlands and we look forward to seeing you soon.

All Our Very Best,

CUSTOMS & CULTURES GOLF COURSE & RANGE

Divots on Fairways Cullasaja fairways are bent grass and it is important to always replace your divots. Please fill your divots on fairways. The preferred method for repairing a divot is to replace the grass divots and then place the sand from carts into the divot spot and apply pressure directly above the divot. Leave the sand slightly higher than the surrounding area to help prevent succeeding shots from rolling into the divot spot. Should you deplete your divot sand supply, extra sand bottles are located on holes #6, #10, and #14. Bunkers Please enter bunkers from the low side nearest your ball as maintaining the high sides is difficult and could damage the “bunker guard” understructure. Never exit the high side! After raking, leave the rake near the spot where you found it or place it in the bunker with handle out of the edge. Greens Please repair every ball mark you encounter while on the green. Typically, most balls impact the green at an angle which leaves compacted grass pushed up on one side that exposes a small patch of exposed dirt on the other. Proper green repair practices require a tool or golf tee to punch holes behind the bunched-up grass and then appropriately tap the grass down with a putter. Do not use the tool to dig under a ball mark and leverage the soil upward. Golf Cart Etiquette Please adhere to all course access limitations when notified by golf staff or the sign in the gazebo at the range. Current cart access or path restrictions are posted each morning on the Club Member App under the Golf Section. Carts on Fairways When this is in effect, carts are permitted to drive on the turf. The Club uses wooden posts near the cart paths to denote where golf carts should enter and exit each fairway. Please enter and exit the fairways at these posts. In order to improve the quality of our rough, please keep carts in the fairway at all times other than entering or exiting. If you need to drive beyond the exit post to reach your ball that is ok, we only ask that you please turn back and exit the fairway at the post. This system will allow for better distribution of cart traffic throughout the season. Note, all Par 3’s are always Cart Path Only. Cart Path Only When this is in effect, please stay completely on the path at all times. We ask you please keep all 4 cart tires on the asphalt to not rut the rights-of-way. Handicap flags do not allow you to leave the cart path on cart path only days. Your attention to this important matter is always appreciated so that the course can maintain its beauty.

CUSTOMS & CULTURES GOLF COURSE & RANGE

All golf members must pay an annual Handicap fee of $40. This fee is charged by the state appointed golf association to maintain your player profile.

Equitable Stroke Control is the max a person can record per hole for handicap. Equitable Stroke Control is NET double bogey for all players.

Lightning Prediction System “Thor-Guard” The Club is equipped with a lightning prediction system. If you hear a 10-second horn blast, a potential lightning strike may be imminent, and players should seek shelter immediately. Do not rely solely on the horns and if dangerous weather looks imminent, please seek safe shelter immediately. If you hear three consecutive 5-second blasts, the conditions have improved and, if you feel safe, continue your outdoor activities. Rain Check Policy After a player has played their fourth hole and before the 13th hole of an 18-hole round, a 9-hole credit will be given for both cart and green fee. Course Closed Policy The Golf Professional, Golf Course Superintendent, Board of Governors and Green Committee have the authority to close the course or a particular hole any time in order to protect the safety of our Members or the condition of the course.

If a Member owns a private golf cart and has owned it for a period greater than 12 months, it is no longer serviceable through the Club as it is outside the warranty period.

Once a date and time have been agreed upon, please notify the Starter and we will print you an official match scorecard. Upon completion of the match please turn the scorecard, with match results and signatures from both players to the Starter. Any matches tied after 18 holes will go into extra holes starting on hole #1 and playing until a hole is won. Below are the round start dates and deadlines: If a match is not played by the end of the deadline day, the Golf Shop will flip a coin to determine the winner, who will then advance to the next round. In those instances when scheduling becomes problematic, one or both players may request the Golf Shop to intervene. In this circumstance, if the Golf Shop is unable to schedule the match within the deadline, the Golf Shop will then have the discretion to determine the winner by either coin flip or, in expected rare circumstances, default by one of the players. Round of 32: June 1st – June 30th Sweet Sixteen: July 1st – July 31st Elite Eight: August 1st – August 31st Final Four: September 1st – September 14th Championship: September 15th guidelines in the Golf Operations guidebook.
