Bunkers out of Play

Bunkers – Model Local Rule F-16

Providing a Local Rule is in place, bunkers may be taken out of play and clearly marked as GUR for situations such as severe or prolonged wet weather. Bunkers flooded with water, can be marked as GUR; allowing scores to still be acceptable and returned for handicap purposes. Players must be made aware of which bunkers are GUR before play and they must be clearly marked as out of play on the course.

There is no limit on the number of bunkers that can be taken ‘out of play’.
