How to Keep Pace at Rattlesnake

  • Be Ready to Play: Always be prepared when it’s your turn.
  • Play “Ready Golf”: When safe, hit without waiting for honors.
  • Limit Search Time: Max 3 minutes for lost balls.
  • Continuous Putting: Finish short putts when possible.
  • Mark Scores at Next Tee: Tee off first, then mark scores.
  • Cart Smart: Drop off your partner at their ball and head to yours.
  • Keep Up: Your pace is based on the group ahead, not behind.

If You’re Behind

Our Golf Services Team and Golf Shop Team are here to support pace. If asked to speed up or let a group through, please do so courteously.

Let’s All Do Our Part

Pace of play is a shared responsibility. Whether you’re in a tournament, a casual round, or playing 9 holes, keeping up makes the game more enjoyable for everyone.

Let’s play ready. Let’s play smart.
