Are there any other Village specific "golf rules". Oh yes, the other is you never score more than double-par on a hole, and "preferred-lie" is OK.

Get yourself a copy of the "Good Golf Guide" pamphlet at any of the championship golf shops, administration office, golf academy or at an executive course starter shack. Also on the back of every championship course scorecard are a listing of "Local Rules" and "Etiquette".
You can also get on golfthevillages.com for more info.
As noted on the score cards under "Local Rules" you get mandatory free relief from flower or shrub beds, NOT cord grass.
Hope this helps with your question.
