Competitions will be opened approximately one month in advance and closed approximately 48 hours prior to the first tee off times.
Members will be given the opportunity to book or cancel after closing times but this must be kept to a minimum to avoid confusion.
The committee will reserve the right to schedule players within tee times to maximize efficient playing times with the Pro-shop.

This is a commitment to play, failure to attend may result in a reduction of playing rights.

If the competition is closed you may cancel or book a tee time (if available on MS) by request by contacting bookings@cdagolfsociety.com AND comp@cdagolfsociety.com

Handicaps

The society uses the Handicap Master (HM) operating system for bookings, player management and handicap management, all members handicaps will be calculated using the HM local system which is similar to the World Handicap System (WHS). Currently, HM does not communicate with the WHS system.

New members will be asked to provide proof of handicap or will be subject to an initial handicap assessment by submitting 3 cards. You will not be allowed to play in competitions until your handicap has been verified and posted in HM.

More information is available on the Members page.

Buggies

It is the responsibility of each member to pre-book a buggy with the pro-shop.
Should a member wish to agree the use of a buggy for EVERY GAME, then they may have this noted in the society membership, this will then be indicated on the start sheet and provided to the Pro-shop.
Members who commit to this option must accept the booking at all times and will be responsible for the costs. This is a one time setting option and members will be responsible for the cost of the buggy.

guests

Guests are welcome however members will be given priority for tee time, if you would like to invite a guest please contact a member of the committee for guidance by using any of the above email address’. More information is available on the Members page.

Course Etiquette

The R&A’s rule 1.2a states that all players are expected to play in the spirit of the game by:

  • Acting with integrity – for example, by following the Rules, applying all penalties, and being honest in all aspects of play.
  • Showing consideration to others – for example, by playing at a prompt pace, looking out for the safety of others, and not distracting the play of another player. If a player plays a ball in a direction where there might be a danger of hitting someone, they should immediately shout a warning, such as the traditional warning of “fore”.
  • Taking good care of the course – for example, by replacing divots, smoothing bunkers, repairing ball-marks, and not causing unnecessary damage to the course.

Dress Code

Our society is in the privileged position of playing our competitions on one of Spain’s finest golf courses, the Jack Nicklaus personally designed, Alhama Signature golf course.

This privilege comes with responsibilities to uphold the high standards expected by the owners, which includes adhering to their dress code.

The picture above shows what the golf course deems acceptable and unacceptable.
