Official Rules – Aggregate Team Score Format
League Overview
• Open to all adult teams and family/youth teams

• Each team must include at least one parent or legal guardian (18+)
• League is played on 18-hole courses
• Courses will alternate weekly between the two 18-hole courses unless otherwise noted
League Format
Aggregate Team Score (best two scores count)
• All players play their own ball on each hole
• Each player records their individual score
• On each hole, the two lowest scores from the team are added together
• That total becomes the team score for the hole
Example:
• Parent: 3
• Child 1: 4
• Child 2: 6
• Team score for the hole = 7
This format balances fairness, independence for kids, and team play!
Scoring Rules
• Maximum score per hole per player: 6
• Once a player reaches six strokes, they must pick up their ball
• Hole-in-one counts as one stroke
• Team score per hole is the sum of the two lowest individual scores
Mandatory Participation Rule
To ensure all players are involved:
• Each player must have at least one hole per round where their score counts toward the team total. We want everyone’s play to count!
• This will be tracked on the scorecard
Putting Rules
• All players may putt until holed or max score is reached
• No continuous tapping
• Once holed, the ball is removed
• Good sportsmanship and pace of play are expected
Ball and Course Rules

• Ball must remain within course boundaries
• If the ball is hit into the pond, you may play the ball from the closest spot on the course to where the ball entered the water. This is a one-stroke penalty.
