Pace of Play- The ideal pace of play for 18 holes of golf is 4 hours. Earlier tee times in the day are required to play at a pace of under the 4 hour mark.
NOTE: It is much more important to maintain the Pace with the group AHEAD of you as opposed to staying ahead of the group behind you! If your group should fall behind pace, you will be asked to move along. Falling just half of a hole behind is the equivalent of losing one tee time off the tee sheet. Your respect for the Course Official and your fellow Members behind you is appreciated. One Warning will be given to groups that continue to be behind Pace of the course. If a second warning is warranted, the group will be asked to skip holes in order to get back into position. (if a hole is skipped, a score can still be posted as long as the player using their stroke allotment for that hole)
NOTE: Habitual offenders may lose the privilege of preferred early tee times.
 
Handicaps- The official handicap season for posting scores is March 15th- November 15th. A “true handicap” is based on 20 acceptable 18-hole rounds. A “temporary handicap” is calculated after 5 gross scores and is updated with each new score until 20 scores are posted. In order to participant in any handicapped Crofton Country Club Tournament/Event, a “true handicap” must be established, unless otherwise approved by the Tournament Committee. Handicaps are updated on the 1st and 15th of every month during official handicap posting season.
 
Music- Music on the golf course is permitted as long as the individual is mindful of his/her playing partners, fellow Members on the golf course, and the Crofton community. An individual may be asked to turn his/her music down in order to maintain these guidelines. However, if the music continues to be played at a level that is at a disturbance to another Member and/or the Crofton community, the individual will be asked to turn off the device for the remainder of their round.
