Policies and Etiquette

Etiquette at Berkshire Hills:

If you are a member of the GHIN system, all scores must be posted.
Maintain a proper pace of play. Keep the group in front of you in sight.
Repair ball marks, replace divots, and rake bunkers.
Please keep a distance of 30 ft from all tee complexes, green complexes, and bunkers with motorized golf carts.
The backyards along the 3rd hole are private property.
Please do not enter the yards to look for a ball as violation of this may result in the loss of playing privileges.
Members are responsible for the conduct of their guests. This includes pace of play, dress, and behavior.
Starting on the 10th tee can only be done with permission from the pro shop.
Disruptive or argumentative behavior to any member of the staff will be referred to the board of directors.
Proper dress code is required at all times and includes a collared shirt, shorts or slacks (no jeans), and all hats worn forward.
There are no outside coolers permitted on the BHCC property.

Keep Carts off of Green/Collar and Tee Surfaces
Observe Cart control stakes and signage
Keep carts at least 10 yards from the putting surface and park at least that far away in the rough.
Parking carts in the approach should always be avoided
When available carts should be driven on and parked on provided cart paths
When using the practice range, path should be used all the way to range, no short cuts across 5 or 4th hole.
The short stakes at the approach area should be obeyed, when a stake appears at both sides then carts can approach and park in the rough on either side of green complex at a safe distance. When a double stake appears at only one side, then all cart traffic should go to that side only.

Push/pull carts should always be kept off of Tee, Collar and Green surfaces whenever possible, not always an option but should be encouraged.
They should never be pulled/pushed through the bunkers.

All Rounds are expected to be completed in four hours
No golfers can start their round on the tenth tee without permission from the pro shop
Under no circumstances should golfers “jump out” in front of another group
Two-Some’s are NOT allowed on weekends until after 12:00 PM

Members can make tee times seven days in advance, except on Saturday, you may book times for the following Sunday.
Members can book up to THREE tee times, no exceptions
Members who do not cancel their tee times could be subject to penalty in future weeks
