GOLF COURSE CARE

Panther Valley is a Robert Trent Jones Senior gem. It is our duty to keep it that way. As members, please follow some of these basic steps:

  • Rake Bunkers out of courtesy to the next player who hits their ball in the same bunker
  • Replace Divots
  • Repair ball marks - I never like to say repair your OWN ball mark because we should repair EVERY ball mark or other green damage which could include dragging feet on greens or indentations made laying down the flagstick.

Let's not forget that it is YOUR club. As members, we need to take great pride in Panther Valley and respect your golf course.

PACE OF PLAY 

Players should play at a good pace. The committee at Panther Valley has established that a round should be played between 4 hours and 4 hours and 15 minutes in competition. All members of the foursome are subject to slow play penalties regardless of who is at fault. In tournaments the penalty is 2 additional strokes. For regular play in the speed slot, groups who play in more than 4 hours and 18 minutes will be warned with a letter for the 1st offense and loss of privileges in the early slot for 2 weeks for the 2nd offense.

HELPFUL TIPS

  • Be ready to play as soon as it's your turn to play.
  • Park golf carts or place bags in positions that will save time exiting the green and going to the next hole.
  • If you hit a ball which could be out of bounds, lost or unplayable, ALWAYS play a provisional ball. Hitting two shots takes less time than losing a ball and having to walk back to the original position.
