Guest Information
As a private club, use of Laconia Country Club’s facilities is exclusive to members. However, invited guests are welcomed and encouraged to enjoy the amenities.
Attire
The Club maintains a reasonable standard of attire on the course and throughout all other areas.
Acceptable on-course attire includes long slacks, mid-length pants (capris), Bermuda shorts, golf skirts/skorts, golf shirts (collared or mock-neck style), sweaters, jackets, caps, and hats.
Cut-offs, running or gym shorts, denim, t-shirts, halter-tops, and tank tops are not considered proper attire for the golf course.
Appropriate informal attire consistent with the above is acceptable in the Clubhouse. Denim is permitted in the Clubhouse, as long as it is properly sized and worn at normal waist height, in excellent condition, and is consistent in color. Denim must not include holes, rips, or be frayed; denim shorts and skirts, painter pants, overalls, and low-cut/low-slung jeans are prohibited. Footwear must be worn at all times. Members and guests are encouraged to use common sense and respect the comfort of other individuals when making on-course and casual-attire decisions.

Players should ensure they are ready to tee off at their appointed time. An 18-hole round should be completed in no more than 4 hours and 15 minutes. To help maintain this pace of play, there are clocks strategically positioned throughout the course to keep play moving.
A playing group that fails to keep pace on the course and is behind the players ahead by more than one clear hole must allow the following group to play through or pick up and move forward.
Golf rangers and professional staff may be on duty to help regulate play. Rangers and professional staff have full authority to enforce all golf course rules, regulations, and pace of play policies. All players are expected to cooperate fully with rangers and professional staff.
Players who stop or delay play after nine holes, for any reason, must occupy the tenth tee before the following players arrive at that tee or they will lose their position on the golf course. Players must check with the starter before continuing if any delay occurs.
All players are expected to take good care of the course and not cause undue damage to the course. Soft spike golf shoes are required on the golf course.
Players must replace their divots, repair pitch marks, and rake bunkers after use. Laconia Country Club is a very walkable course; all walking golfers should retrieve a divot repair mixture bottle available from the starter’s podium. Papers, cigarettes, and other trash should be properly disposed of in the receptacles provided.
Only club-provided golf carts or GolfBoards are permitted on the course and practice facilities. Private carts are prohibited and any such carts must be parked in the parking lot.
Golf cart and GolfBoard operators must be at least 16 years of age and have a valid motor vehicle license. No more than two occupants per cart or one individual per GolfBoard shall be permitted. Cart and GolfBoard operation is at the sole risk of the operator and/or passenger. Cart operators and passengers and GolfBoard operators must abide by all posted golf cart and GolfBoard regulations. These may be updated from time to time, at the discretion of the Club, and include the following:
-
Cart and GolfBoard operators should be aware that carts and GolfBoards may cause damage to the course; the carts and GolfBoards should be operated in a manner that minimizes such damage.
-
In general, carts and GolfBoards should be kept on designated cart paths and enter the fairway at a 90-degree angle.
-
All directional signs, including those designating prohibited areas, must be observed.
-
Golf, motorized, pull carts, and GolfBoards must be kept off green aprons and tee areas. Care should be taken not to park carts or GolfBoards on the sides/slopes of tee boxes.
-
Golf cart operators who require accommodations may be issued a blue flag which permits driving a cart to within 30 feet of a green. At all times, carts must remain on the path when the area is posted as Cart Path Only. All other cart rules apply.
Practice on the course is prohibited. All practice must occur at the Practice Facility which includes 8,000-square-feet of putting surfaces, 28,000-yards of natural grass driving range, and a short-game area with sand bunkers and plenty of space to practice pitching.
Range or practice balls are for use on the practice range only and may not be removed from that area.
No person other than Laconia Country Club staff is authorized to train, teach, or give lessons on Club property.
