MEMBERS HANDBOOK

The Rehoboth Beach Country Club Members Handbook provides RBCC Members with frequently needed information and useful guidelines. The information in this book is intended to encourage Members and their guests to more fully enjoy their use of RBCC and its resources. Everyone is asked at all times to respect the traditions of RBCC, be mindful of other Members and their guests and appreciate the many attributes this wonderful Club has to offer.

The roster of Members of the Club shall be considered the property of the Club and shall not be used or given to anyone by a Member of the Club for any reason whatsoever, and may be furnished to a Member of the Club in the sole discretion of the Club. Unauthorized release of the Membership roster is viewed as a very serious breach of Club policy. Violations will be reviewed by the Club and may result in immediate expulsion or other appropriate disciplinary action.

A complete list of all Club policies is available online on the Member Central website at www.rehobothbeachcc.com

I look forward to seeing you at the Club.

LETTER FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER/COO

As we begin our second century, we do so with deep appreciation for all the Members who came before us and great excitement for the future we will create together. Our beautiful Club has always been more than just a place it is a gathering of people who value connection, relaxed hospitality, and a shared sense of belonging. The traditions we cherish today exist because of the care, pride, and stewardship shown by our Members and the Talon Tribe over the past 100 years.

This Membership Handbook has been prepared to help guide you through the customs, policies, and privileges that help maintain the welcoming atmosphere and high standards we all enjoy. While it outlines the framework that supports RBCC life, it is the spirit of our membership that truly brings these pages to life.

Pairings Policy

For all other starting times, on the same day of play, members may join any group that is not filled.

Cap Patrol

RBCC will be utilizing Cap Patrol for member tournaments this season. Cap Patrol is a modern, data-driven handicap monitoring and fairness system. Cap Patrol will help to provide more accurate oversight of scoring patterns and ensure equitable competition for all players.

Cap Patrol assigns each player a Cap Score, which is an internal metric the system uses to evaluate the consistency of a player’s scoring history relative to their established handicap.

A higher Cap Score indicates scoring patterns that are consistent and within expected ranges.

A lower Cap Score suggests that recent scores are unusually low relative to the player’s established handicap and may warrant review. This score is not a handicap—it is simply a monitoring tool Cap Patrol uses to help identify potential anomalies or irregular scoring trends.

How This

Affects

Tournaments in 2026

No action is required from members; Cap Patrol works automatically using your existing handicap data.

For all member tournaments, any player whose Cap Score is below 40 will have their handicap adjusted for that event, in accordance with Cap Patrol’s recommended guidelines.

If your Cap Score triggers a review or adjustment, you may receive a notification or communication from the Golf Staff—this is a standard part of the fairness process.

Reciprocal Policy:

For outside events, such as charity tournaments we host, when our schedules allow, we have a reciprocal arrangement with King’s Creek Country Club and Peninsula Country Club. All reciprocal arrangements must be made through the RBCC Golf Shop. This season’s reciprocal play will be announced later, and each reciprocal day will be available to view on the tee sheet.

Local Rules:

USGA RULES APPLY.

French Drains are ground under repair.

Penalty Areas:

When playing the 4 hole, the yellow penalty area on hole #5 is to be played as a red penalty area.

DROP AREA: An optional drop area is marked by a white circle on hole #13. You may not improve your lie when taking relief within this area.

Bunkers: Any areas of sand that have been raked are considered to be a part of a bunker

Immovable Obstruction near putting green and on the line of play:

Ball in General Area. The player may take relief under Rule 16.1b if an immovable obstruction is:

On the line of play, and is:

Within two club-lengths of the putting green, and Within two club-lengths of the ball.

Exception – No Relief If Line of Play Clearly Unreasonable. There is no relief under this Local Rule if the player chooses a line of play that is clearly unreasonable.

Embedded Ball Rule. Through the green, a ball which is embedded in its own pitch mark, may be lifted without penalty, cleaned and dropped as near as possible to where it lay but not nearer the hole.

All RBCC ornamental flower beds are treated as Ground Under Repair. (Rule #25)

All un-mown wild grass areas are to be treated as lateral penalty areas.

Fans – Are played as a TIO. It is normally allowed when there is physical interference or line of sight interference from the TIO.

Interference under this Local Rule means that the player has:

Physical interference

Line of sight interference, or

Both physical and line of sight interference

AERIFICATION HOLES:

Ball in General Area. The player may take relief under Rule 16.1b. If the ball comes to rest in another aeration hole the player may take relief again under this Local Rule.

Ball on Putting Green. The player may take relief under Rule 16.1d. But interference does not exist if the aeration hole only interferes with the player’s stance or, on the putting green, on the player’s line of play

Lost Ball: When a player’s ball has not been found or is known or virtually certain to be out of bounds, the player may proceed as follows rather than proceeding under stroke and distance. For two penalty strokes, the player may take relief by dropping the original ball or another ball in this relief area (see Rule 14.3)

Tapping down spike marks is permitted.

Competition Scores

By Committee decision, in addition to any outside stroke play events (USGA, GAP/DSGA, MSGA, etc.) all Club events in which individual stroke play is conducted must be posted as “Competition Scores”. The Handicap Chairperson and Golf Committee will determine any additional events that require a Competition Scores to be posted.

Inclement Weather Warning

Perry Weather Lightning Prediction System: Stop play if you feel in danger at any time. All play and outdoor activities are required to suspend play at the sound of the automatic siren (one long blast) and cannot resume until after the sound of the all clear automatic siren (three short blasts).

Pace of Play

Rehoboth Beach Country Club’s pace of play policy requires that all eighteen- and nine-hole rounds be completed within four- and two-hour time periods, respectively. At the direction of the Board and Golf Committee, the Golf Staff will enforce this policy using Starters, Player Assistants, and Golf Professionals. The Board and Golf Committee thank all members and guests in advance for their cooperation.

To improve all member and guest experience on the Golf Course, the Golf Committee has developed the following policy regarding the pace of play on the golf course:

A player assistant will help monitor the pace of play on the golf course. If a group falls behind the player assistant has the right to address the group and make it known where they are in relation to their pace of play. The player assistant will ask the group to catch up on their time which could include skipping a hole. In the absence of a player assistant, the professional staff will monitor the pace on the course.

Initial Pace Warning Letter: If a group does not regain proper placement on the course and plays their round over four hours and twenty minutes, a letter will be sent from the Golf Committee as an initial warning to each member of the group.

Second Pace Warning Letter: Any member receiving a second letter from the Golf Committee, due to a second round over four hours and twenty minutes, will result in the committees right to limit the time-of-day members in violation can schedule a starting time (Ex. After 1:00PM).

In general, and part of Golf Etiquette, when possible, a slower group should defer their position to a faster group allowing the faster group to “play through.” This offer should be made at the earliest and most appropriate opportunity. (Even if the expected pace of play is being upheld by the slower group.)

Please also consult with our PGA Professionals about the many helpful ways to speed up play. The intent of this program is to make the game of golf more enjoyable for all members and guests.

If suspended, the reinstatement of the Member’s privileges shall only occur if the Member signs the RBCC Reinstatement and Automatic Payment Agreement. The Club may, at its discretion, decide not to suspend Membership privileges.

Forfeiture of Membership terminates all privileges of the Member and Family.

Section 9.7 Reinstatement Authority.

In addition, the Board may, by a vote of two-thirds (2/3’s) of the entire Board, reinstate, modify, extend, reduce, or terminate a Member sanctioned under this Article and may, at its discretion, assess a fee as set forth in the Member’s Reinstatement Agreement, not to exceed $1,000, as a condition of reinstatement.

Section 9.8 Member Indebtedness Limit. Any party or event charged to a Member account in which the aggregate charges exceed twenty-five hundred dollars ($2,500) may be billed immediately at the GM/COO’s discretion. The bill shall be due in ten (10) days.

(a) Disciplinary Action. The Board shall have the power to reprimand, fine, suspend, terminate the Membership of, or otherwise discipline any Member for any conduct by that Member or their Family or Guest that, in the Board’s good faith opinion, violates these Bylaws or the Rules, is unbecoming a Member, is disruptive to the Club’s operations, or is otherwise likely to endanger or disturb the welfare, safety, harmony, or good reputation of the Club or its Members.

(b) Suspension Without a Hearing. The President, or the GM/COO in consultation with the President or his/her designee, may immediately suspend a Member prior to and pending a hearing when it determines in good faith that such Member’s conduct, if repeated or continued, would pose a threat to the welfare or safety of the Club or its Members or would be disruptive to Club operations, or that the time period involved in complying with the hearing procedure set forth herein would render such hearing procedure ineffective to address or prevent a recurrence of such Member’s conduct within such time period. In such event, the suspended Member shall have the right to a hearing within a reasonable time.

(c) Suspension for Delinquency. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, Members who are delinquent in their financial obligations to the Club may be summarily and immediately suspended by the Board without a hearing.

(d) Suspension. Suspension disallows a Member from exercising specified rights and privileges (i.e. “suspension of privileges”) or exercising all of the rights and privileges (i.e. “suspension from the Club”) of the Member for a specified period of

time; the Board shall determine the specific rights and privileges and the suspension period in its sole discretion.

When appropriate, the GM/COO and President shall confer to determine whether a matter remains with the GM/COO or is referred to the Executive Committee or President for further action.

(b) Action by Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is a subcommittee of the Board. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Executive Committee shall conduct a reasonable investigation into any complaint made against a Member when the President or his/her designee makes the initial determination the alleged conduct impacts or disturbs the peace, safety, harmony, or good reputation of the Club or its Members.

(c) Hearings. In the event the Executive Committee recommends to the Board to suspend or terminate a Member or Membership, such Member shall be notified of such proposed disciplinary action and the reason(s) therefore at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such action (the “Disciplinary Effective Date”).

If the Member desires to attend such hearing, the Member must provide a written confirmation of his or her intent to attend such hearing to the Board at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled date of such hearing and such confirmation must identify each witness the Member is requesting to be present at the hearing. A Member is not entitled to be represented by counsel at the hearing. The Board, in its sole discretion, may allow the Member witnesses, but Member may not force attendance by any alleged witness.

(d) Action by Board. After the hearing, the Board, in closed session, shall consider the charges and the evidence, if any, adduced in support of or opposition to the charges and determine the appropriateness of the proposed sanctions. If a Governor is the subject of the hearing, that Governor shall be recused and not participate in the deliberation or voting. The Board shall also determine whether the proposed sanction or some lesser disciplinary action, if any, shall be taken against the Member charged. No termination of Membership shall be effective without the affirmative vote by two-thirds (2/3) of the Governors voting on the question. Suspension or termination will commence on the Disciplinary Effective Date. The determination of the Board shall be final.

(e) Records and Hearings Confidential. All information presented to the Executive Committee or the Board in connection with a disciplinary hearing and any records of deliberations shall be confidential and available for inspection only by the Board, and any hearing held pursuant to this Article shall be attended only by those who in the discretion of the Executive Committee or the Board are necessary to afford a complete and impartial hearing.
