All Players, Guests and Visitors will:

• Conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike manner in all sporting activities, observing all applicable rules, and standards of etiquette and fair play.
• Respect the rights of others, and not harass or threaten, verbally, physically, or otherwise abuse or retaliate against any player member, guest, or staff member.
• Not engage in any form of sexual, racial, or religious discrimination or harassment.
• Be responsible for ensuring that their own behavior and that of their family members and guests complies with this code of conduct and all other applicable USGA and local rules, regulations, dress codes, and other instructions.
• Respect the golf course, golf carts, and facilities.
  • Take pride in the physical appearance of Mather Golf Course as it is reflective of you as a guest/member.
  • Dispose of trash appropriately.
  • Repair your divots and ball marks properly and promptly.
  • Rake the bunker after your shot.
  • Let faster players play through.

  • Take your time, but not too much.
• Not conduct themselves in any rude or inappropriate manner, including the use of profane language, gestures, insults or other such misbehavior.
• Abide by all state and local laws and regulations. Possession of weapons and/or controlled substances, as defined by Federal and State laws, are strictly prohibited on Mather Golf Course property.
• Regarding bringing alcoholic beverages on to Mather Golf Course: State Liquor Authority regulations are very clear and prohibit consumption of alcoholic beverages that were not purchased either from the Clubhouse or on the golf course grounds. This is NOT a local rule. Bringing alcoholic beverages to the golf course is in violation of CA State Liquor Authority statute, and violators place themselves and the golf course at risk for fines and potential loss of liquor license. All permit holders and guests are required to abide by this CA State law.
• Know that staff will enforce these rules as seen and reported. The most effective efforts to enforce these rules are those made among peers on the course. To the extent that each guest/member assumes personal responsibility for their conduct, as well as their fellow competitors while on the course, the entire golf experience for all guests/members will be enhanced.
• Does not damage the character, integrity, good will, property, and community view of Mather Golf Course facilities and/or its staff.
