Etiquette
The first section in The Rules of Golf (USGA) covers Etiquette - all members should familiarize themselves with that section.
In the interest of all golfing members, each has an obligation to observe the rules & etiquette of the game. Adherence to these rules and common courtesies will result in making the game more pleasant for everyone. The more common rules are nothing more than good manners. For example:
A) Leave the green promptly as soon as the last player in your group has holed out.
B) Invite the following players to play through when a ball has been lost or when it becomes obvious that they are faster players. You must call the following group through when there is a full hole open in front.
C) Smooth out all marks that you have made in the bunkers.
D) Replace divots and repair ball marks on the greens.
E) Help and counsel your caddies in their expected duties.
F) Play the course in proper sequence.
G) Unless otherwise indicated, always park your cart between the green that you are playing and the next tee.
H) Play ready golf. Always be prepared when it is your turn to play.
I) Golfers using a golf cart must drop the farthest away player at his/her golf shot area and then the cart partner must move the cart to his/her ball to be ready to hit a shot in sequence. Or the player that is nearer the hole can leave the cart for the farther away player and walk to his/her ball with a golf club(s) to hit a shot.
J) Upon hitting a golf shot the player should drive to the next shot and/or golf cart partner's ball. Replace golf clubs into the bag only upon arrival at that next point. This will help with pace of play.
Tennis Attire
The tennis attire policy requires the wearing of predominantly white tennis clothing. Bathing trunks and suits, jeans, cut-offs, jogging shorts, gym shorts and t-shirts are not permitted in the tennis area. Predominantly white headgear may be worn. People not appropriately attired will not be allowed to use the facilities.
