Club Rules & Regulations

IV. Guests

1. General

The number of times that a guest may utilize Club facilities is limited. As defined below, Family guests and unrelated guests have different limitations. Any combination of golf, tennis, pickleball, bocce, cards, bingo, etc. constitutes a “time”. Dining does not count as a visit unless for a special “dining event” (e.g. Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Dinner Shows, etc.). Each “dining event” visit would be counted as a “time.”

When appropriate, all guest charges for services or merchandise will be charged to the sponsoring member’s Club account. Cash payments are not permitted.

The sponsoring member is responsible for the conduct of all guests while on Club property. If the behavior or appearance of any guest is deemed to be unsatisfactory, the sponsoring member and/or the houseguest may, at the request of Club management, be asked to leave the premises. At their sole discretion, the Board of Governors may deny or revoke guest privileges of a particular guest.

Family Guests (whether House or Day Guest) may not play, participate, or visit the Club more than twelve (12) times between November 1 – April 30 and twelve (12) times between May 1 – October 31 during any regular fiscal year.

All non-family houseguests will be charged at the regular guest rate.

In accordance with the Club’s Bylaws, houseguests must be registered with the Club to be granted privileges. They will be entitled to use the facilities of the Club consistent with the membership privileges of the sponsoring member.

Houseguest authorization forms are available in the Club office or can be auto-filled online in the member’s area of the Club website. When auto-filled, forms come directly to the Club in an email. These forms are also available for download in the member’s area of the Club website. Houseguest authorization forms can be submitted for up to a maximum of a 2-week period. Any additional time requested for houseguest privileges, above and beyond the initial 2-week period, requires an additional houseguest form submission (up to the maximum 2-week limit) and will require approval of the Board of Governors.

3. Family Houseguests are permitted to use the Club facilities without being accompanied by the member. The houseguest membership is available subject to the following conditions:

a) The sponsoring member does not have to give up membership rights for the period of time that the houseguest is in residence.

b) The houseguest may, as determined by the Club, be charged a temporary membership fee for use of the Club in addition to all daily use fees. Any temporary houseguest membership fee will be for each two-week period and shall be determined by the Club.
