(the “Association”) to enhance the preservation of the Benefitted Community Facilities and the safety and convenience of the users thereof. These Rules are for the Benefitted Community Facilities and are in addition to those adopted for the general Community Facilities. It is the responsibility of those using any of the Benefitted Community Facilities to know these Rules and to cooperate in their enforcement. All capitalized terms used, but not defined, in these Rules shall have the meanings set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Reservation of Easements for Plantation Lakes, as it may be further amended from time to time as provided therein (the “Declaration”). BENEFITTED COMMUNITY FACILITIES MEMBER PRIVILEGES IN GENERAL 1. Benefitted Members and other Persons shall be entitled to the enjoyment of the Benefitted Community Facilities, if applicable, in accordance with the Declaration and these Rules. 2. Use privileges of the Benefitted Members will be extended to two (2) adult individuals who legally reside in the Dwelling Unit on the applicable Benefitted Lot, along with the children of such individuals who also legally reside in such Dwelling Unit and who are under twenty-one (21) years of age. The two (2) adult individuals and any applicable children shall be designated in writing to the Association and may be changed no more than one (1) time per calendar year. TRANSFER OF PRIVILEGES 1. Any Benefitted Member may transfer the right of enjoyment to the Benefitted Community Facilities to tenants residing in the Benefitted Member’s Dwelling Unit provided a completed transfer form is signed by the Benefitted Member and submitted to the office, along with payment of the transfer processing fee. 2. During the period specified on the transfer form, which shall not be less than three (3) full calendar months, the Benefitted Member’s right to the enjoyment of the Benefitted Community Facilities privileges shall be suspended. 3. The transferee must be renting and residing in the Dwelling Unit for which the privileges are transferred in accordance with the lease fulfilling the requirements under Section 6.11 of the Declaration. 4. If privileges are transferred for the use of the Benefitted Community Facilities, they will be extended to two (2) adult individuals who legally reside in the Dwelling Unit on the applicable Benefitted Lot, along with the children of such individuals who also legally reside in such Dwelling Unit and who are under twenty-one (21) years of age. The two (2) adult individuals and any applicable children shall be designated in writing to the Association and may be changed no more than one (1) time per calendar year. 5.

In addition, a fee equal to the current guest fee will be charged to the Benefitted Member involved for each round of golf played under an unauthorized transfer GUEST PRIVILEGES 1.

An individual who has paid a daily guest fee for the use of the golf course is also entitled to use of the clubhouse for that particular day. 3. The manager of the Benefitted Community Facilities or any other management personnel employed by the Association may deny guest privileges to any individual, when, in their opinion, it is in the best interest of the Association to do so. 4.

LOCAL GUEST PLAY A guest of a Benefitted Member who resides in Sussex County, or who owns a Lot that is not a Benefitted Lot, is considered a “Local Guest”. A Local Guest may play golf at the member/guest rate a maximum of six (6) times per season (April 1st through October 31st). This limitation applies even if a guest is sponsored by a different Benefitted Member each time they play or if they are a guest of more than one Benefitted Member. After a Local Guest has reached his/her maximum of six (6) times of play per season at the member/guest rate, he/she will still be permitted to play golf, but will be required to pay the applicable public rate. For clarity, this restriction does not apply to the immediate family of a Benefitted Member (i.e. spouse/significant other, parent, sibling, child, or grandchild of a Benefitted Member). MEMBERSHIP CARDS Benefitted Members, transferees and applicable members of their families may be issued membership cards. If issued, (i) Benefitted Members may be required to present their membership cards prior to use of all or any portion of the Benefitted Community Facilities; and (ii) a fee may be charged for replacement of any lost membership cards.

8. Golf carts are never permitted on the shoulder or surface of any tee, green or bunker. The roped areas indicate the superintendent restricted areas for cart traffic. Exception: When Handicap Flag Privilege (defined below) is in effect. HANDICAP FLAG PRIVILEGE The golf shop offers the use of handicap flags for golf carts for those individuals who, for medical reasons, will benefit from their use (the “Handicap Flag Privilege”). A golfer who submits a valid handicap parking permit from any government agency may be extended this privilege. Handicap Flag Privileges may be suspended or revoked, with or without warning, for abuse of this privilege. RULES OF THE HANDICAP FLAG 1. A golf cart displaying a Handicap Flag may be driven up to the green or tee. 2. At no time should a golf cart displaying a Handicap Flag be parked or driven on the green or tee. 3. No golf cars are allowed beyond the boundary of the golf course which is defined by out-of-bounds stakes. 4. In case of inclement weather or certain golf course conditions, golf carts may be restricted to the cart paths. No handicap flag privilege will be extended for that time. If “cart path only” is limited to select holes, Handicap Flag Privileges will not be extended for those holes so designated. 5. Handicap Flag Privileges are extended only to the person who has submitted valid documentation and has been approved for its use. This privilege does not extend to an additional golf cart rider or other person who is not registered for Handicap Flag Privileges. 6. The Ranger/Starter has absolute authority for all traffic control. If a player refuses to abide by the rules of the day (as stated above), his/her Handicap Flag Privileges may be suspended after review by the Head Golf Professional. 7.

Rangers and/or golf shop staff consistently monitor the speed of play and are required to enforce the following policies for the pleasure and enjoyment of the entire field: (a) First Offense: The group has fallen behind the group in front of them and has fallen behind the allotted time limit for their position on the course. The ranger will indicate your group is out of position and that you need to catch up to the group in front. (b) Second Offense: The group has not improved their position. The ranger will approach the group and inform them of their second warning and that the next offense will require them to skip an entire hole. (c) Third Offense: The group has been warned properly and has not improved their position. The ranger will escort the group to the next hole. 6. Inexperienced golfers are asked to refrain from playing during peak times of the day.

As provided in Rule 33-8a, the Committee may make and publish Local Rules for local abnormal conditions such as definitions of boundaries, margins, and status of objects, course protection, course conditions, obstructions, and dropping zones. Etiquette: In an effort to uphold a steady pace of play, the Golf Shop staff may pair single players or twosomes with another group in an effort to reduce the likelihood of interference with other groups during their rounds. One 9-hole round of golf takes 2 hours and 10 minutes to play, with a small buffer added for tournament play. The Golf Shop staff will do their best to inform players about the pace of play on a given day, however to better predict and anticipate the factors needed to uphold pace of play, golfers are strongly encouraged to book tee times in advance and adhere to their assigned tee time and group. All golfers should be ready to commence play at the tee area at their designated tee time. If late for a tee time, ask the Starter or Golf Shop Attendant to reposition you on the tee sheet. Do not commence play from anywhere other than the assigned hole, tee off before or after your tee time, or confront another group or player for any reason. Your Golf Professional staff greatly appreciates your consideration of the rules of golf and any club policies or rules that relate to play or conduct. It is our responsibility to uphold these guidelines in an effort to make your Golf Benefitted Membership experience as friendly and enjoyable as possible. Should you encounter any problems during play, contact the Golf Shop so that a Golf Professional can handle violations in a professional, courteous manner. - 16 - Managed by:
DSGA-GHIN Handicap: Handicap Indexes established under the United States Golf Association (USGA) Handicap System are the backbone of amateur golf. They enable all golfers at your club to play equitably with one another and with the help of the USGA Slope system, to play away from home with ease and equality. In order play in any Plantation Lakes events, eligible golfers must have an active handicap registered with the club. All stroke play scores must be posted, including 9-hole scores. World Handicap System Features: • Flexibility in formats of play, allowing both competitive and recreational rounds to count for handicap purposes and ensuring that a golfer’s handicap is more reflective of potential ability • A minimal number of scores needed to obtain a new handicap; a recommendation that the number of scores needed to obtain a new handicap be 54 holes from any combination of 18-hole and 9-hole rounds, but with some discretion available for national or regional associations to set a different minimum within their own jurisdiction • A consistent handicap that is portable from course to course and country to country through worldwide use of the USGA Course and Slope Rating System, already successfully used in more than 80 countries • An average-based calculation of a handicap, taken from the best eight out of the last 20 scores and factoring in memory of demonstrated ability for better responsiveness and control • A calculation that considers the impact that abnormal course and weather conditions might have on a player’s performance each day • Daily handicap revisions, taking account of the course and weather conditions calculation • A limit of Net Double Bogey on the maximum hole score (for handicapping purposes only). Example: A Course Handicap of 18 receives one stroke per hole for 18 holes; the player’s max score is triple bogey on any hole, which equals a Net Double Bogey. • A maximum handicap limit of 54.0, regardless of gender, to encourage more golfers to measure and track their performance to increase their enjoyment of the game - 17 - Managed by:

2021 Demo/Fitting Days Schedule Whether you are a new golfer interested in purchasing your first set of golf clubs, or an avid player looking to upgrade, it is beneficial to be properly fitted for equipment. Fitting days are a wonderful way to be properly fit and try the clubs that suit you the best. Finding the right brand for your game is one challenge, but often times golfers have difficulty finding the right store to find their favorite brand. Testing a golf club indoors on a simulator is good, but attending a golf demo day where you can actually test clubs on the driving range in order to observe your ball flight with a manufacturer representative is even better. Below is a list of the demo days by manufacturer that will be held at Plantation Lakes this year. On each day, attendees will work with staff directly from the manufacturer who are qualified to answer detailed questions for you. Registration not required, but is recommended for full fitting sessions. Contact the Golf Shop to RSVP May 8th 12:00-4:00PM Saturday, May 15th 12:00-4:00PM Saturday, May 22nd & Saturday, June 5th 12:00-4:00PM TBD 12:00-4:00PM - 22 - Managed by:
