Each player is expected to have reasonable knowledge of the game of golf before they purchase a green fee ticket for the regulation course. This reasonable knowledge may have been acquired through formal instructional programs, time spent practicing at a driving range or by playing golf at a Par 3 or executive type course.
-
Each player is responsible for playing safely. Players should be knowledgeable about their own ability or lack of ability so as not to hit into other golfers on the golf course. Golfers are responsible to ensure that their intended or possible landing zone is free and clear of other golfers prior to hitting their shots.
-
Players must be able to present a greens fee ticket when it is requested on the course. In order to receive a Patron discount, the patron card must be presented with each transaction.
- Each golfer, on the regulation course, must have a set of clubs. On the Par 3 course, clubs may be shared between two players.
- Practicing is prohibited
on the golf course.
- Players not reporting to the starter 16 minutes before their tee
time may lose that starting time and be placed in the next open time.
- Groups
not maintaining their position on the golf course may receive two warnings
to regain their position. Groups failing to comply may be required by
the golf professional to immediately move into the appropriate position.
Groups that do not comply may be removed from the golf course.
- Singles,
twosomes and threesomes may be required to join foursomes,
fivesomes or sixsomes when it is deemed appropriate for managing play.

and the rules of the United States Golf Association, which are on file
at the clubhouse.
- The practice and lesson tees at Overland Park and St.
Andrews golf clubs occasionally will be closed for maintenance and weather; the Golf Course Superintendent or Manager
of Golf Course Operations will make that determination. Players must

may be permitted beyond the practice tee.
- Residential status for determining
sale of Patron cards shall be determined by current driver's license.
A resident is considered to be anyone living in the city of Overland
Park whose address can be verified by a current driver's license. Players
submitting a fraudulent driver's license are deactivated for one year,
will not receive a refund and are reported to the proper authorities.
- Any non-resident of Overland Park who is an owner of a business or real estate property in Overland Park shall be eligible to purchase a resident golf Patron card.
The request is made to the manager of golf course operations. The manager will verify ownership of real estate property or business by property tax statements, deeds, franchise agreements, etc. Only those owners who are individually named as owners and can provide adequate documentation to verify ownership are eligible for resident status.
Once the manager determines someone should be granted resident status, he will notify the golf professionals accordingly and that person may purchase a resident patron card at either golf course.

the regulation golf courses. No one under the age of 5 is allowed
on the Par 3 Course.
