HUDSON NATIONAL GOLF CLUB
Our vision of Hudson National is that of a refuge from the professional and social pressures of life for men and women who love and respect the game of golf and its history and traditions. It is a place of majestic beauty where the timeless pleasures of golf can be enjoyed in an atmosphere of camaraderie, fellowship and equanimity, and where a world class golf experience characterized by the highest level of service and attention to detail is delivered to all Members and guests each time they visit the Club.
CLUB RULES
The rules of the Club have been developed to support our vision. Each Member is responsible for understanding and adhering to these rules. Furthermore, each Member is also responsible that family members and guests are aware of and adhere to the rules. Violations of the rules by any Member, family member, or guest may result in disciplinary actions including suspension of Club privileges or termination of membership. Violations will be reported to the Rules Committee of the Board which will administer the enforcement process.
GOLF CARTS
Walking the golf course is an essential part of the Hudson National experience. All Members and guests are required to walk if a caddie is available, with the exception that Members and accompanied guests 60 or older or who have a physical or medical condition (documented by a physician) that would make walking the course difficult or impossible, may utilize a cart.
Unaccompanied guests are not permitted to use a cart unless a special exception is granted by the Director of Golf in advance.
No one under the age of 18 may drive a cart. Unless otherwise instructed, golf carts should be driven on fairways only where accessible. Entrance and exit paths to fairways are designated in most areas. Carts are never to be driven across Belgian block curbing, and carts are prohibited near greens, green collars, environmentally sensitive areas, hazards and tees. Red and green ball markers are positioned in most fairways in close proximity to the greens to mark the exit point for golf carts and to leave the grassed areas and return to the cart paths. Except as provided below for handicapped golfers, one may not go beyond the red ball, and must exit on the side where the green ball is placed.
Caddies are required to be used by golfers even when carts are in use. The recommended fee for caddies remains unchanged for those using a cart. Caddies will direct cart traffic in accordance with routing information provided and Members and guests are required to follow the caddies’ guidance.
GOLF ATTIRE
Acceptable golf attire must be worn on the Club premises at all times.
Acceptable: Golf slacks or skirts, mock turtle neck shirts and golf shorts (must be no more than four inches above the knee). Men’s shirts must have a collar; women’s blouses must have either sleeves or a collar. Untucked square bottom shirts are not to be worn on the golf course but may be worn in and around the clubhouse.
Not Acceptable: Crew necks or tank tops; sleeveless, collarless or v-neck shirts; running, tennis or swimming shorts, cargo shorts and pants, cut-offs, athletic* attire or denim jeans; shirt tails not tucked in and caps worn backwards, i.e., without the bill of the cap facing forward. Anyone who is inappropriately attired will be asked to immediately comply with the dress code policy or leave the Club grounds.
General. Acceptable golf attire on the PGA or LPGA tour also is acceptable at the Club.
The dress code in and around the clubhouse is casual at all times, unless more formal attire has been indicated. Golf shoes may be worn. Men and young men (12 or older) must wear a collared shirt. Athletic* clothing and denim of any color are not permitted at any time. Hats or caps are not to be worn in food service areas of the clubhouse. Bare feet are not permitted anywhere in the clubhouse. *(athletic attire is acceptable between the locker rooms and the fitness center.)
WIRELESS DEVICE POLICY
All wireless devices (including celluar phones, pagers and PDAs (Blackberrys, etc.)) are strictly prohibited around the clubhouse, on Club grounds and on the entire golf course, including the halfway house, except:
• Inside Members and guests automobiles
• On the 4th floor of the clubhouse
PDAs may be used for sending and receiving email only in the men’s and ladies’ locker rooms. However, the cell phone option must be turned off while in these areas.
Members and guests are restricted from carrying any type of wireless device except in authorized areas. Wireless devices cannot be visible at any time except in areas designated for their use.
Members sponsoring guests or outing groups will be responsible for these guests’ adherence to the wireless device policy.
STORM WARNING POLICY
When severe weather and lightning activity is detected in the area, a horn will sound. A solid 15 second signal indicates when severe weather is expected, and all are to seek shelter. An intermittent high-low signal indicates that play can resume. It is mandatory to discontinue play when the horn sounds. Play is not to be resumed until the all-clear signal is sounded. The Club wishes to emphasize that players have the right to stop play at any time if they feel there is imminent danger, even if not specifically authorized by a signal. In addition, caddies may discontinue the round at their discretion for the same reason. When warned of an impending storm, players not close to the clubhouse should immediately seek shelter.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE CALL BOXES
Emergency call boxes have been installed on the course. They have been installed in the following locations: teaching center, range, halfway house, 4th tee, 8th tee, 12th tee, 15th tee and 16th tee. In the event of an emergency, simply press and hold the button and speak directly into the unit. Release the button to listen to important information including 2-way communications with our staff. Staff have been trained and certified in CPR, AED and First Aid. This system is for emergencies only.
