Rules for Competitions 2026

All competitions organised by the Courchevel Golf Club Association are the responsibility of the Executive Committee, which has sovereign authority in drawing up, planning and managing the sporting calendar. It also ensures that all events run smoothly, in compliance with the regulations in force.

Competitions are held in accordance with the Rules of Golf established by the R&A, supplemented where applicable by the recommendations of the Fédération Française de Golf (FFG), as well as by the local rules specific to the Courchevel Golf Club, displayed or communicated before each event.

All competitors must be in possession of a valid F.F.G. licence, or a licence issued by the golf federation of their country of origin, recognised by the FFG.

Failing this, registration for any competition will be refused.

The Bureau will ensure that it announces in advance, on the website www.golfdecourchevel.com/evenements-2026/ as well as on the information board at the Club House, the calendar of the competitions for 2026.

For all competitions, entries must be received no later than 12.00 noon on the previous day.

The Committee reserves the right to limit the number of competitors to 104. The field will then be drawn up according to the chronological order of entries.

In accordance with the regulations of the French Golf Federation currently in force, each player is responsible for keeping up to date with a13> of their medical status on their FFG licence holder account.

Entry into a competition is subject to compliance with the administrative and medical requirements set by the French Golf Federation at the time of the event.

It is the responsibility of each licence holder to ensure that their file complies with the federal requirements for competing and managing their ranking.

The Courchevel Golf Club cannot be held liable for any refusal to register or for any failure to recognise a performance due to an incomplete or non-compliant federation file.

It is the responsibility of each player to ensure that his or her licence space is up to date. The club declines all responsibility in the event of non-compliance.

The competitions are organised into different series, to ensure a fair ranking for all participants. The heats are based on the following criteria:

Red markers
– 2nd Ladies series: Index from 26.5 to 54.0.

Blue markers
– Women’s 1st Division: Index from 0 to 26.4.
– Men’s Veterans 3: Players aged 75 and over (born in or after 1951 inclusive) with a rating higher than 19.9.

Yellow markers
– Men’s 2nd Division: Index from 20.0 to 54.0.
– Men’s Veteran 2: Players aged 75 and over (born in or after 1951 inclusive) with a handicap of less than 19.9.

White markers
– 1st series Men: Index from 0 to 19.9.

Junior Series
– Under 14 years old (born from 2013 inclusive):
– Blue markers for boys,
– Red for the girls.

Players are classified in the series corresponding to their index and age category at the time of registration. This classification cannot be changed once the competition has started. The final ranking is based on index and performances achieved during the competition.

The Bureau offers players to choose 2 time slots for departure:

• Morning (7.30am – 10.00am)
• Afternoon (12.40pm – 2.40pm)

The Bureau reserves the right not to respond favourably to specific requests from players regarding their departure time or partners.

Timetables will be posted at the Club House entrance the day before the competition and published on the Golf website.

No changes will be accepted once the draw has been made and the start times published.

A player who is forced to withdraw must inform the club as soon as possible. A player who is not present at the start and who has not notified the club will be considered disqualified. However, the Board may consider cases of force majeure and decide accordingly.

The Commitee is empowered to :

• Change departure times if necessary.
• Interrupting the competition due to adverse or dangerous weather conditions.

Any decision taken by the Bureau in this respect will be based on the circumstances and the safety of the players.

After paying the entry fee to play (starting from € 15 for adults and from €15 for juniors – born from 2013 a19> 2013 inclusive) and carrying their own scorecard, the player must without fail report to the tee 10 minutes early in order to comply with the necessary formalities (exchange of cards, instructions from the starter).

Players who arrive late, no more than 5 minutes after their tee time, and without a valid reason, will be penalised by 2 strokes on the first hole in application of golf rule n°6-3a. Players arriving more than 5 minutes late will be disqualified.

For competitions whose starts are not regulated by a starter, players will start according to the games defined by the Bureau according to the published schedule.

• Winning players under the age of 18 cannot receive a prize in alcohol.
• If an award-winning player is absent, his or her prize will be awarded to the next player in the rankings or by drawing lots.
• A player cannot accumulate a prize for his classification in brut with another prize for his classification in net.
