Attention Punch Card Holders!
 
We are seeing many punch card holders, especially 25 and 50 round punch card holders, out of rounds or running low. To check on your status, you may inquire in the golf shops or review your monthly statement. 

 

Buying More Rounds
 
To buy more rounds, you may do so in minimum quantities of ten rounds at the same per round rate. You may also pay as you go at the same per round rate. However, given the amount of time until the end of the year, and for efficiency at check-in, we encourage golfers to go with the minimum of ten (10) rounds. Of course you can buy more than ten but the purchase still needs to be in increments of ten. Twenty-five (25) rounds is also an option.

 

NOTE: This does not apply to the Afternoon Pass. Afternoon Passes can only be purchased in increments of 15.

 

Volunteers Needed
Adopt-A-Hole
 
The adopt-a-hole program is designed to provide assistance in maintaining the golf course through a variety of actions that include sanding divots, fixing ball marks, picking up tees and other debris and notifying the golf course maintenance staff of any issues that may need special attention. Contact Clay Stubbins at [email protected].
