Starting and Meal Times

Shotgun events are available for groups of 40 or more players. All other groups will be restricted to tee times based on availability. Player registration and pre-game meals will begin one hour before tee times. Meals and appetizers will be served 20 minutes after the last group is in.

Pace of Play

Pace of Play is important to us for two reasons. Finishing in less than five hours eliminates any problems with golfers following your outing and secondly it makes for a more enjoyable day for your guests. Please play ready golf.

Liability

Payment for any damages done to the golf course property or golf carts will be the responsibility of the sponsoring group and/or the coordinator of the event.

The Planning Process

Many large groups who booked with us our first year have rebooked and did so one year in advance. Some tips for booking follow:

• Confirm your date with a deposit and signed contract as soon as possible.
• Once confirmed begin filling your field with participants.
• Order any special merchandise three to four months in advance.
• Choose menu and venue at least six weeks in advance.
• Send in completed worksheet and finalize menu one month prior.
• Final list of players should be submitted so invoice can be processed.
• Make final payment one week in advance.

Policies and Procedures

By sticking to a set of rules your event will be stress free and as much fun as you want it.

Reservation procedures require a deposit of $250 for groups with 72 or less players. And larger groups must make a $500 deposit along with a signed contract to secure their date. The deposit will be used toward the sum of your total bill and will be subject to the cancellation clause on the first page of the contract. Your final count and payment are due one week prior to the date of our event. By settling your account you can relax and enjoy the day. We will try to accommodate changes in the number of participants in your group but it is not always possible after the deadline because of other events and play that mlay have been scheduled for the same day.

The Big Day

Coordinators and volunteers should arrive one hour prior to your scheduled start. Notifying participants that the start time is one-half hour earlier than the start will ensure that everyone has enough time to register and get to their carts. Your group will then be greeted by a member of the Golf Staff to briefly describe the format and point out special events of the day. Carts will be supplied with score cards and rule sheets that can be prepared by our staff. CLGC Starters and Rangers will lead foursomes to their respective tees.

Inclement Weather

If the golf course is officially closed due to bad weather every attempt will be made to reschedule your event. We are in New England and because conditions vary locally guests should be asked to show up at the golf course. If the event can be played in moderate conditions with the utmost safety, it will be played. It is difficult to reschedule an event when food service is involved. ln the case of the course being deemed unplayable every effort will be made to reschedule your event.
