INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Loch Lloyd Country Club. We are dedicated to providing a premier club experience with exceptional service, top-tier amenities, and a strong focus on Member satisfaction. Our facilities include dining, golf, fitness, racquet sports, and swimming, designed to meet diverse interests and needs.
This handbook and the Club’s website are the official sources of information about your membership. Other representations are not binding.
OWNERSHIP
The Club is a privately owned country club. This structure allows it to continually reinvest in its facilities, enhancing the Member experience while providing top-tier services. This helps it maintain its high standards and ensures the Club stays a premier destination for all its Members.
MANAGEMENT OF THE CLUB FACILITIES
The Club manages and operates all facilities and may hire a professional management firm for daily operations. It has the exclusive authority to accept Members, set fees, establish rules, and oversee facility management.
DUES AND PAYMENTS
Dues and charges are reviewed regularly and adjusted based on market conditions and Member needs. The Club reserves the right to change dues and fees as it sees fit once within a calendar year, not to exceed 15%.
Annual dues and fees are determined by the membership type and are payable by the 25th of each month. Statements are sent on the 1st, and automatic payments are processed on the 12th. A late fee may apply for balances overdue by 25 days.
Failure to pay dues or fees can result in suspension or termination of Club privileges. In the rare event of termination, the Member’s membership will no longer grant them access to Club facilities.
MEMBERSHIP STATUS FOLLOWING DEATH
Upon a Member's death, the membership transfers to the spouse or partner listed on the account. If no spouse or partner is listed or they choose not to continue, the membership will terminate upon notification to the Club.
MEMBERSHIP TRANSFER AND RESIGNATION
Memberships cannot be transferred outside the Club. To resign, a Member must provide a 60day written notice. Membership concludes at the end of the notice period.
LEGAL SEPARATION OR DIVORCE OF MARRIED MEMBERS
In the case of legal separation or divorce, membership privileges remain with the Primary Member unless specified otherwise in a formal agreement or decree, the pertinent part of which shall be provided to the Club. The Club will not mediate or otherwise get involved in disputes and may suspend all privileges until resolved.
FAMILY AND GUEST PRIVILEGES
Immediate family (spouses and unmarried children under 26) can access the Club based on their membership type. Guests are welcome but must adhere to guest policies. Members are responsible for their guests’ conduct.
CAPITAL ASSESSMENTS
Members may be assessed for capital improvements. The Advisory Board provides recommendations, but the Club’s ownership makes final decisions.
ADVISORY BOARD
The Advisory Board, comprised of nine Members elected annually, facilitates communication between Members, management, and ownership. It offers feedback and advice but does not have decision-making authority.
MODIFICATION OF THE RULES & REGULATIONS HANDBOOK
The Club may amend this handbook at its discretion. Members agree to abide by any updates or changes.

By participating in these activities or utilizing the facilities, Members and their guests release, discharge, and hold harmless Loch Lloyd Country Club, its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or injuries of any kind, including those resulting from negligence.
Members are responsible for ensuring that their families and guests are aware of and agree to this Waiver and Release as a condition of using the Club’s facilities. This Waiver and Release applies to all claims before, during, or after the Membership term and remains in effect even after Membership termination.
WAIVER & RELEASE CONTINUED
To protect the integrity and resources of the Club, the Club reserves the right to terminate the membership of any member who, in the judgment of the Club’s ownership, files or pursues a frivolous lawsuit or legal action against the Club, its owners, directors, employees, or agents. A lawsuit or legal action shall be deemed frivolous if it is determined, at the sole discretion of the Club, to lack legal merit, be filed in bad faith, or be intended primarily to harass or burden the Club. Termination under this provision shall be executed without the need for a refund of any membership dues, fees, or other charges paid to the Club. In the event of a termination under this section, the member will still be responsible for paying all outstanding amounts on the account. The member shall be provided with written notice of the termination decision, which shall be final and binding.
The Club encourages all members to engage in good faith discussions with the Club concerning any potential legal matters so that they may be resolved amicably.
FORCE MAJEURE CLAUSE
