GOLF COURSE
GUEST FEES, GUEST LIMIT, GUEST EQUIPMENT, LOCKER RENTALS, AND GUEST PLAY
Guest are limited to a total of three rounds per regular golf season, even if they have been hosted by several different members. Determining if the guest has surpassed the three-round limit is the responsibility of the host member.
Inverness Golf Members are permitted to host up to seven guests per day. The member must play with three of his guests, and the remaining guests must play in consecutive tee times. Tennis and Social members may not entertain guests. Only the head of the household may use the course as a social or tennis member. Members are asked to register all guests with the Starter. The member takes responsibility to monitor their guests' pace of play. Please keep your foursome moving toward our "four-hour round."
On occasion, you may have a guest who does not have his clubs with him. Please let us know, and we will be happy to provide a quality set of our "rental" clubs for a nominal fee. Because your guests should not be given a collection of oddball clubs, we have invested in quality, name-brand clubs to serve as our "rental clubs".
Check-in with the Men's Locker Room Manager and your guest will be assigned a locker.
