The rules of the USGA and its Decisions will govern all play as well as those local rules listed below:
1. The embedded ball rule is in effect through the green. Through the green is any part of the golf course that is not teeing ground or hazard. You may lift, clean, and drop the ball.
2. Out of Bounds is defined by stone walls left of and behind #1, left of and behind #2, left of #7 through #11, and left of #16 and #17. Any ball that lies on or crosses the road left of #3 and #4 is out of bounds even though the ball may still lie on another part of the course. White Stakes and/or lines define out of bounds right of #1, #3, #8, #13, left of #4, #8, #11, #14, #15, #16, #17, and #18; and behind the green on #3, #4, #6, #11, #13, and #15. The parking lot is out of bounds.
