Play on the Day

a). Please play in regulation singles, foursomes, greensomes or three-balls only - fourballs or texas scrambles are not permitted.

b). Play is from the yellow tees for Men and red tee for Ladies.

c). Speed of play - we expect rounds to be completed in four hours or less. There is a clock at the 13th hole which has been set 2 hours and 40 minutes earlier than normal time which is the amount of time we expect to take for 13 holes. If your start time was equal to or later than the time on the clock then you are doing well. If your start time was earlier then you have fallen behind and should take steps to improve your pace. It is always important to keep up with the group in front and not just ahead of those behind.

d). Dress code is well documented and is very consistent with many others clubs. Please ensure your society members are fully aware of all requirements to avoid any embarrassment on the first tee or in the clubhouse. View Hayling dress code.

e). Mobile telephones are not permitted on the course unless used for emergencies.  Mobile devices can be used within the clubhouse to access the internet, apps and the club website but must be kept on silent and ensure no other guests are disturbed.  Phone calls are NOT permitted within the clubhouse but can be taken on the balcony.

Local Rules

a). The Course Marshall will advise you of any specific rules on the day.  Click here to see our Local Rules.

b). Hayling Golf Club is situated on a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) which seeks to protect the natural grasses and other flora the area supports. As such we try and protect all the areas away from the fairways and paths as much as we can and request that all trollies and buggies are kept out of the rough and strictly on the paths or fairways. We realise this might mean that in some circumstances players have to park and carry a number of clubs to their ball but hope that they will understand this is in the best long-term interests of the course as a whole and thank you for your support in this.

c). A ball lying in Ground Under Repair (GUR) defined by a white line around the area MUST be dropped at the nearest point of relief and played from there. No play from within GUR is allowed.
