Please make sure golfers check-in at least 15 minutes early. Our weekly fee will continue to be $6 for the 2020 season. We can only accept cash. If your golfer is late the fee is $8.

If we do not have a walker for your golfer's group they will not be able to play. Please sign up to walk when making tee times.

Please call the office and cancel tee times if you are unable to attend.
