Transportation to the Village 8^th Hole

For any player that will be starting on the 8th hole of the Village Course on Thursday or Friday, please allow a 15 minute drive to the starting tee.  The FSGA will have a player registration set up near the practice green behind the South driving range to release the groups. All three players in the group should arrive at this registration area 20 minutes before their tee time so they can allow for enough time to get to the 8th tee of the Village Course.   Signs will be set up along the roadway to direct players to the tee. 

Pace of Play Policy

The FSGA pace of play policy utilizes a two checkpoint system.  If you have any questions regarding the pace of play policy, please see a Tournament Director on site.

• Players will not receive warnings.
• Each group is responsible for monitoring their own pace.
• To avoid penalty, groups must complete each checkpoint hole:

1. Within 15 minutes of the group ahead, or
2. Under the allotted time.
• Checkpoints on the Hills Course will be on holes #9 and #18.
• Checkpoints on the Village Course will be on holes #7 and #18.
• All players in a group in breach are subject to penalty.

We look forward to a great Championship at one of the finest golf clubs in the country.  We encourage everyone to respect the history and traditions of the Jupiter Hills Club and we ask that you closely follow the dress code and cell phone policies.  Please make certain that your family members and guests also understand the club policies.

Good Luck!!
