COURSE POLICIES

CART FEES
The single rider fee was implemented because of the Covid-19 pandemic.  Since late in 2020 we have been able to ride 2 players to a cart.  If a player needs to ride alone, they may do so at an additional $25 fee if it requires an additional cart.  Spectators (for Jr. and school matches) will be $20 for 9 holes and $25 for 18 holes. Our hope is not to collect additional fees, but to have fewer carts going out which means less wear and tear on the carts and the course. Thank you for your cooperation.

JR. RATES (FOR JRS. 16 AND YOUNGER)

Junior golfers (16 yrs. old and Under*) Monday – Thursday anytime $15/round

Junior golfers (16 yrs. old and Under*) Friday, Saturday & Sunday after 1:00pm $15/round (standard rack rate applies before 1:00pm)
