In order to protect Members' access to tee times at their Home Club during heightened demand periods, the Director of Operations at each property will designate an appropriate amount of tee times in the reservation system that can only be booked by Home Club Members. During high-demand periods, it is necessary to enforce a 1:1 ratio of Home Club Members to non-Home Club Members and at most Clubs on weekend mornings, it may be necessary to protect tee times exclusively for Home Club Members only (no guests or reciprocal play).

High-demand periods vary by club and are defined by Home Club Member play patterns. Generally, these times are on weekends and holidays from opening until early afternoon and Wednesdays through Fridays in the early and middle portion of the day. At our Member Resort properties, these times are generally from opening until early afternoon daily in peak season. Additional tee times are made available for reciprocal play closer to the day of play if Home Club Member bookings are slower than anticipated.

Saturdays, Sundays and holidays opening until 2 p.m.

Fridays opening to Twilight.

Wednesdays and Thursdays between noon and Twilight.

Resort Clubs and Daily Fee Clubs may vary in shoulder seasons.

Through LinkLine, Members are able to reserve for up to three guests, except for Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays from opening until 11:00 a.m., where guests are not permitted. Requests for additional guests are subject to availability only and may be made through the Director of Operations at your Home Club. This applies at your Home Club or for Reciprocal Play. The frequency for introduction of the same guest is limited to twice per month. However, out-of-town golfing guests of Members may play an unlimited number of rounds, upon payment of the applicable guest fee in any two-week period, once per season. Guests must be accompanied by a ClubLink Member at all times unless prior arrangements are made with the golf shop.

Please use this information as a reference and see the Golf Shop staff if you have any questions.
