FAQs

How does scoring work?
Individual stroke play means you count your own score, every shot. A Stroke limit will be placed for pace of play. The Stroke Limit is Double Par, so for a Par 3 the maximum score is 6.

Can I practice beforehand?
Yes, players may warm-up in the Athletics Bays, Putting and Chipping Zone before their session.

Can I practice playing the course?
Yes you can practice to get familiar with the course.

I’m unable to attend a session.
If you are unable to attend a Saturday Session, please notify Golf Athletics. You must complete a self assessed round before the Saturday Session.

How do I submit a self assessed round?
A (google forms) link will be available to fill out your details and score. Images will be required to verify the course setup (Course, Conditions, Rules, Player Tee box) and your score.
