      • Dress Code

        Proper attire is required at all times while playing golf on the Lexington Golf course! No jeans or tee-shirts will be allowed on the golf course premises. This includes the putting green and practice area. Men's attire is shirt with collar or mock turtleneck. Shorts may not be shorter than a score card width above the knees.

        Alcohol

        All alcoholic beverages must be obtained through the Club's Food Services; members and guests may not bring their own alcohol onto the golf, course.

        Cell Phone Use

        Cell phone use is permitted following procedures outlined by the Board of Governors. In general, cell phone use is prohibited on the golf course or in the clubhouse (including the outside deck) unless there is an emergency that requires use. Cell phones may be used in the parking lot and in the locker rooms. Cell phones may be used for golfing apps (such as yardage GPS apps) but should be used efficiently to avoid delay of play.

    • Course Rules

      • Rule of Play

        Play on the golf course, including handicaps and tournaments, will be governed by the rules issued by the Golf and Greens Committees and approved by the Board of Governors. All competition will be governed by the Rules of Golf of the United States Golf Association, except as modified by the local rules (refer to the Scorecard for local rules).

        Local Rules

        • Yellow or red stakes and lines mark penalty areas. Note: if point of entry cannot be determined behind the 7th green, a player may use the marked drop area behind the green at the bottom of the hill.
        • White stakes and lines mark out-of-bounds.
        • Relief from planted flower and shrubs near the clubhouse, 1st, 4th, 6th, 7th tees, and newly planted trees (tagged or staked).
        • Any stone wall is to be played as an integral part of the course.
        • Drop area behind the 9th green may be used for relief from the clubhouse, walkway, or decorative bushes along the clubhouse.
    • Care, Pace, & Safety on the Golf Course

      • Care of the Golf Course

        Golfers must replace divots, rake sand traps, and repair ball marks on the greens as they play. All litter must be placed in receptacles located at vantage points on the course.

        Pace of Play

        Players should be able to complete 9 holes in two hours or less, and 18 holes in four hours or less. Because this is a 9-hole club, pace of play is important so players may make the turn at the 10th tee without delay (or delaying others).

        Safety on the Golf Course

        Our course is a small one, with many blind shots. It is important for all players to be alert at all times, and to warn other players of errant shots. Golf has inherent risks, and we can't completely eliminate them. However, everyone has the responsibility to follow these guidelines to reduce that risk as much as possible during every round of golf. Please read and follow these important guidelines to mitigate as much risk as possible to all golfers on the course.

        • On holes where there are blind shots due to hills (#1, #2, #4, #6, #7, #9); groups coming up those holes should check over the hill to be sure the group in front of them has cleared the landing area. Likewise, if you are playing on those holes, and particularly if play is slow, you should stay back at the crest of the hill to indicate to the group behind you that you are still in the way.
        • On the 7th tee, please wait until the light turns green before teeing off if you are hitting beyond the field of view, press the red button below the warning light when leaving the teeing area, and press the green button on the way to the 8th tee when you are done. Please note that the red light times out after 8 minutes.
        • In areas where errant shots are known to land in high traffic areas (for example: tee balls hit to the left off #1 tee into the 9th fairway, tee balls hit to the right off #2 tee that go into the 3rd fairway, etc.), all members of the group teeing off should be on high alert to warn golfers on these holes by yelling "FORE!" Similarly, if you are standing in one of these fairways, you should be keeping an eye on players teeing off on these nearby tees, as they are known risk areas on the course.
