Sandiway Golf Club, Northwich, UK

Playing the Course

Bunkers
Bunker Rakes Bunker rakes are to be positioned inside the bunkers.  The rakes are to be placed in the bunker at point least likely to interfere with play, with the rake head and shaft in the sand.  The handle of the rake should be placed on the grass so that it does not become contaminated with sand.
Bunker access When entering and leaving a bunker, would all players please do so by the lowest part of the bunker.  This is to help prevent the sand from being pushed off the faces and accumulating in large amounts at the bottom of the bunker therefore improving the playability for fellow golfers.
Bunker Raking  All players, when raking the bunker after play, are to observe the following guidelines:
When raking, push sand away from you rather than pulling: this leaves a better finish and helps maintain equal sand levels.  Always enter and leave the bunker at the lowest point and position rakes as above
