Visitor Information (See Panel for latest information)

We regret that there are no buggies available to hire.  You may, of course bring your own, but they must be appropriately insured.

You should book on-line using this site (Visitors book online tab) – you must register in the foyer or bar and clearly attach a visitor tag to your golf bag. 

Winter Rules

All visitors are welcome at Stone Golf Club.

To help us keep our course in great condition please can I ask you to adhere to our following guidelines.

1. No Buggies

2. Where possible please carry your bags.

3. If you need to use your trolley, please use winter wheels if you have them.

4. If you need to use a trolley please keep to the edge of the fairways / semi rough.

We have implemented the use of preferred lies in the general area of the course. This decision has been made to ensure fair play and maintain the quality of our course during current weather conditions.

Preferred lies mean that players are allowed to mark, lift, clean, and place their golf balls within the general area, within a specified distance, 6 inches, and no closer to the hole. This rule is typically applied when adverse weather conditions, such as wet or muddy conditions, might affect the fair play or risk damage to the course.

In golf, the general area encompasses a significant portion of the course, but there are specific areas that are not considered part of the general area. They are the:

Teeing Area: This is the designated area from which a player begins a hole. It is specifically prepared for teeing off and is not part of the general area.

Putting Green: The putting green is where the hole is located and is specially prepared for putting. It’s not part of the general area; rather, it’s a specific area where golfers complete each hole. Normal rules apply.

Bunkers: These are sandy areas marked as hazards on the course. They’re not considered part of the general area due to their unique playing conditions and rules governing play from these areas. Normal bunker rules apply.

Penalty Areas: These are areas on the course marked as hazards, often containing water or other challenging obstacles. Like bunkers, penalty areas are not part of the general area. Normal penalty area rules apply.

Excluding these areas, virtually everything else on the course falls under the umbrella of the general area where players usually take their shots between the tees and greens.

Thanks
