Members who abuse the tee time reservation system by being a No-Show for tee times will be reported to the Golf Committee. The third No-Show infraction will result in losing the ability to have advanced tee times for two weeks. Advanced tee times during the restriction period will be cancelled. Restricted Members will be required to call the Golf Shop to book a tee time, which will only be allowed on the same day they wish to play. No-Shows (Guests): Members are requested to cancel any Guest reservation 24 hours prior to any tee time that will not be utilized, but no later than 3 hours prior to tee time.
