REMINDER OF OUR “TBD” POLICY FOR THE ONLINE TEE SHEET

If TBDs are not filled with player names, said TBD’s will be released automatically 48 hours from your tee time.

We suggest the following, as ways to relieve some of the pressure on our tee time availability

• Online tee times are available 7-days in advance starting at 8:00 a.m. in April, please access the member portal to do so. • Only book a tee time that you plan on using. • Cancel your tee time as soon as you know you will not be able to play. • Release TBDs in your time slot if you are not able to fill them within 48 hours of your tee time.

We will continue to have earlier tee times on the tee sheet beginning at 7:00 a.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from Memorial Day Weekend, Friday, May 27 through Labor Day, Monday, September 5th. These tee times will be in 7- and 8minute intervals for one hour. On days when events are scheduled these earlier tee times will not be available. Walking restrictions will begin on Saturday, May 28th, no walking prior to 9:00 a.m.

As a reminder, singles, twosomes, and walk ups do not have priority on the golf course. Please do not expect to play through foursomes and threesomes that have regularly scheduled tee times.
