Enjoy your golf at Hollinwell and ensure fellow golfers do too by showing due respect to our championship course, clubhouse and to other golfers and following the traditional etiquette standards of the golfing world:

• Speed of play always remains a thorny issue in modern golf. Please attempt to keep up with the game ahead, and if you fall behind, please make suitable efforts to pick up the pace of play to close this gap. If there is a faster moving group behind, and space, ahead please do let this group through.
• Please make the effort to repair all pitch marks correctly. Except after rain, Hollinwell's greens will be quite firm so the mark may not be fully apparent; please try to locate and repair accordingly.
• Please rake all bunkers and leave them in a condition you would hope to play from.
• Please replace all divots.
• Dogs are not permitted on any part of the Club’s property.

Hollinwell eight point guide maintaining the correct pace of play:

• When errant, watch the ball very carefully identifying a reference for line to assist with the search process.
• When errant, take a provisional ball, in case the search is unsuccessful.
• Walk at a good pace between shots.
• Be ready to play when it’s your turn
• Line up putts in advance of your turn when possible (without, of course, distracting playing partners)
• Leave golf bags around the green in the correct place to move to the next tee, never at the front of a green.
• Mark scorecards without undue delay
• If unable to score in a stableford event, please pick up your ball.
