Types of Memberships

SHAREHOLDER/GOLFING MEMBERSHIP
     A Shareholder/Golfing Membership is one which allows an individual/couple full use of the Country Club, including full golfing and clubhouse privileges. We are a member-owned facility. Therefore, one of the requirements of full membership is the purchase of a share. Shareholders participate in the management of the Club and are eligible to run for the Board, vote on issues affecting the Country Club, and serve on committees. Shareholder/Golfing Members may participate in all Club Tournaments.
CONTRACT/GOLFING MEMBERSHIP
  A Contract/Golfing Membership is one which allows an individual/couple to become a member by paying an Administrative fee and Share over a time period, at the end of which you receive your Share certificate. Contract/Golfing Members may participate in all Club Tournaments.
SOCIAL MEMBERSHIP
  A Social Membership allows full use of the clubhouse. Social Members may attend any or all of our social functions and make use of the restaurant and clubhouse throughout the year. Includes one discounted round of golf monthly for the member and a significant other.
   

Rules & Etiquette

By being courteous with one another, and respectful of the following guidelines, we each play a role in making our club a really nice place to golf:
A. We respect the rules in place to maintain an orderly flow on the golf course:
  1. We alternate tee-off positions with golfers coming onto the 1st hole from the first nine.
2. We use the ball rack to queue for our tee-off positions on the first hole.
3. We begin our golfing on hole #1 or #10 only, unless the Pro authorizes otherwise.
4. When we break the normal flow with an extended visit to the club house, we will await the next available opening before again teeing off.
B. We are committed to reduce the incidence of slow play on our course:
  1. We do not allow any group larger than a foursome onto the course until after 1 p.m.
2. We require that a caddy be hired whenever there are more than two golfers in a group.
3. We require that every playing member in the group have his/her own equipment.
4. Golfers who have an open hole in front will wave through the waiting group behind.
C. We take pride in our golf course:
  1. We do not allow steel spikes onto our golf course. Soft spikes are required.
2. We always repair our ball marks and fairway divots (and others’, whenever we notice).
