Rules & Regulations

No one under the age of eight (8) is allowed on the regulation golf courses.

No one under the age of five (5) is allowed on the Par 3 Course.

All alcoholic beverages must be purchased on the licensed clubhouse premises and are the only alcoholic beverages allowed on the City’s golf course properties. All other alcoholic beverages are prohibited. Beverage containers may be taken onto the golf course and are subject to inspection. Players may be asked to provide a receipt.

Rain Check Policy: For an 18-hole round, if less than 9 holes have been played a rain check for 18 holes is issued. If more than 9 holes but less than 18 holes have been played a rain check for 9 holes will be issued. A rain check provides the equivalent dollar value of the 9 or 18 holes based on the green fee price paid by the golfer the day the rain check is issued. Rain checks for cart fees are issued in the same manner as green fees. Rain checks can be redeemed at either St. Andrews or Sykes/Lady Overland Park and expire 365 days from the date of issuance.

Each player is expected to have reasonable knowledge of the game of golf before they purchase a green fee for the regulation course. This reasonable knowledge may have been acquired through formal instruction, time spent practicing at a driving range or having played golf at a Par 3 or executive type course.

Each player is responsible to play the game of golf 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.

All players must be able to present a receipt when it is requested on the course.

Each player must have their own bag with a set of clubs with the exception of the Par 3 Course where one set of clubs may be shared by two players.

Players not reporting to the Starter 10 minutes before their tee time may lose that starting time and be placed in the next open time if one is available.

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 together into foursomes when it is deemed appropriate for managing play.

Players not conducting themselves in an orderly and a sportsmanlike manner or not in compliance with the golf course rules and regulations may be evicted from the premises by the Golf Professional, General Manager or Golf Course Superintendent.

All play is governed by the local rules and regulations and the rules of the United States Golf Association.

Practicing is prohibited on the golf course.

The Practice Area at Westlinks is available for use by non-golfing patrons, employees and volunteers, as well as any golfer who has paid a green fee to play the Westlinks course. Non-golfing patrons are required to report to the Sykes/Lady Pro Shop to determine if the practice area is available. If it is, the non-golfing patron will be allowed to use a riding cart at no charge to access the Westlinks practice area. No one is allowed to park a personal automotive vehicle at Westlinks in order to practice. Occasionally the practice area will be closed for maintenance, group lessons or other special events, and access may be further limited due to availability of riding carts.

The practice and lesson tees at Sykes/Lady Overland Park and St. Andrews Golf Courses will occasionally be closed for maintenance and at such time as weather dictates; the Golf Course Superintendent or General Manager will make that determination. Players must hit balls from between the tee markers at all times. No one may be permitted beyond the practice tee.
