Chicago Highlands Club offers a unique golf experience. We are happy to welcome you and know that your round will be most enjoyable if you follow these Chicago Highlands Club traditions, customs and rules.
Pace of Play
-PLEASE PLAY WITHOUT DELAY-
Robert T. Jones, Jr. had a philosophy that would make the game more enjoyable for everyone. “My method in golf was simple and rapid. I walked up to the ball and socked it. And on the green, I did not squat and line up my putts; I walked up to the ball and knocked it at the hole.”
- It is the duty of every golfer to keep up with the game in front and not just ahead of the game behind.
- Four Ball matches playing 18 holes should take 4 hours or less, and never more than 4 1/2 hours.
- Golfers who play slowly should stand aside and signal faster players to play through- golfers riding in cars should pace themselves so as not to place unreasonable pressure on walking players ahead.
Dress
- Proper attire for men and ladies is required at all times.
- Golf Shirts and Mock Collared Golf shirts are acceptable.
- Ladies must have either a collar or sleeves.
- Golf shorts/Bermuda shorts of an appropriate and tasteful length are acceptable.
- Hats need to be worn with the bill facing forwards.
- Men need to tuck in their shirts at all times. Ladies may wear shirts un-tucked if the style of the shirt is designed in that manner.
- Hats may not be worn inside the clubhouse.
