Ready Golf refers to a method for golfers to speed up play.  Simply put, it means that each golfer within a group hits when ready, rather than waiting for the golfer farthest from the hole to play first.

Best Ball is a method for beginner golfers to speed up play.  Once you hit off the tee, pick up your ball and take it to where the farthest ball in your group has landed and play from that point.

If you have any question at all about the above stated Code of conduct and dress code please do not hesitate to give us a call at the golf course (250) 477-8314
