Reserved Starting Times:
Golfers may reserve starting times in advance at Cherry Oaks
Golf Course under the following conditions:
Reserve starting times may be secured by phone or appearing
at the golf course in person.
Those golfers appearing in person
will have priority over requests phoned in. The golf shop staff will begin taking advance reservations
one week (7 days) prior
to the requested date. The
clubhouse staff will begin answering the phone or accepting walk-up
reservations at the time the
course opens for play that given day.
One person may secure no more than two reserved tee times for
a given day with the following exceptions: Scheduling for all
tournaments that meet the tournament criteria may be in advance by the
Golf Professional.
All golfers with reserved tee times must report ten minutes
before the scheduled time.
Those failing to report to the clubhouse
will forfeit their reserved tee time and must wait for the next open
time slot. Golfers who
persistently forfeit reserved tee times
or otherwise abuse the reservation system may be refused the privilege
of reserving tee times.
The clubhouse
staff reserves the right to pair groups together during busy hours.
If a golfer has reserved a tee time, but the course is
subsequently closed at that time, the reservation will be canceled and
the
golfer must make another tee time reservation.
Rain Checks:
Rain
checks redeemable for play at a later date may be issued to any player
when conditions are such that the player is
unable to complete the play of golf when the green fee has been
purchased for that day.
Conditions contributing to the issuance of a rain check
include weather conditions that close the course to further play,
illness
of the player, or slow play on the course that will not allow completion
of play in a reasonable amount of time (seven hours
per 18 hole round.)
Rain checks may be issued only to players who have not
completed seven holes of play.
Rain checks may be authorized and
attested to only be the Clubhouse Staff.
Golf Course Unfit for Play:
The
Golf Course Superintendent has absolute authority in deciding whether
the course is playable.

rain and all other instances.
In the event that the Golf Course Superintendent is not available

the duties. Golfers must
contact the clubhouse to obtain information related to condition of
course.
