RiverWinds Rules and Course Information


Please print and bring to the tournament.

SCRAMBLE RULES
1. You must use 7 tee shots from each player (par 3 holes included).
2. Each player tees off on each hole. Select one tee shot and both players play their second shots from that spot, and so on, until the ball is holed. Once the ball is holed, the score for that hole is final.
3. Once you select the shot to be used, place a marker on the ground. The next shot by both players must be hit from within 12 inches of that marker, no closer to the hole. You may not use the 12 inches to improve your condition. Once the ball is on the green, both players must putt from the exact same spot.
4. Record one score for each hole.
5. There are no “gimmies;” hole every ball.

• Start your trip to the first tee at least 15 minutes before your tee time, earlier if you want to use the practice putting green and chipping area located near the first tee.
Return completed scorecard in person to the official scorer at the 18th green.
• No restaurant or snack bar at course. Roving cart with hot dogs, peanut butter sandwiches, and drinks. Dunkin’ Donuts and Wawa nearby. 

LOCAL RULES
• Replace large divots; use sand bottles for divot repair.
• If dry conditions, carts may ride on fairways. Do not ride in rough or on mounds.
• Environmentally Sensitive areas are restricted. Abandon ball; play under water hazard rule.

COURSE INFORMATION
