Just like the rules of the road, the rules of skiing or even the rules of fine dining, golf has its own etiquette. Some aspects of this 'etiquette' are known to everyone, others are only known to those who play golf regularly, and there are some practices that are specific to certain clubs or resorts. Below is a list of the rules that apply to Albatross Golf Resort. We kindly ask you to respect these rules in your own interest and in the interest of other players who have chosen to spend a pleasant day playing the noble game of golf. Thank you and enjoy your round!
