Respect the GameGolf play at Flint Hills National is governed by the Rules of Golf and Etiquette as written by the United States Golf Association.

� ere are no reserved starting times at Flint Hills National. Please let the golf professional in charge know when you arrive. To best serve you and your guests, let us know in advance when you plan on playing, if you need caddies or have any special requests.

Any match stopping for refreshments must occupy the next tee before the following players arrive at the tee, or lose its position.

All play will be from the first tee, unless authorized by the golf professional in charge. Practice is restricted to the practice range. Responsibility lies with each member to be sure that all ball marks and divots are properly repaired. Those who fail to repair ball marks will be subject to disciplinary action.

Golf at Flint Hills National is to be enjoyed. Golf is not a race nor a test of patience. Persistent slow play or unnecessary pushing of the group ahead can be disruptive to that enjoyment. Interpretation of slow play will be the responsibility of management. Repeated offenses could lead to suspension of those responsible. Members should monitor both their own speed of play as well as the play of their invited guests. If there is a hole open in front of you, either pick up your pace or allow the group behind you to play through.

Flint Hills National golf is a four-hour game. Please play Flint Hills National golf. Keep pace just behind the group ahead of you, not just ahead of the group behind you.

Children under the age of 16 are not allowed on the golf course without formal permission of the golf shop.

Fivesomes are permitted under strict authority of the head professional.
