TEE TIME POLICIES

Online Booking and Credit Card Policy

Credit cards are required for all tee-time bookings. Your credit card will NOT be charged at the time of booking unless you are:

1) Purchasing a prepaid tee time;

2) Purchasing a non-refundable booking fee;

You may select your method of payment in the pro shop at the time of check-in.  In the event of a “No-Show” or “Short Show” (as outlined below) your credit card will be charged. 

CANCELLATION OF TEE TIMES

Your tee time is reserved just for you and the other golfers in your time slot.  A last-minute cancellation, no show or short show leaves a hole in the golf course’s tee sheet for that day – a hole that could have been filled by another golfer.  GolfNorth’s policies with respect to cancellations, no-shows and short-shows were developed to minimize the number of holes or gaps in the tee sheets resulting from last-minute cancellations, no-shows and short shows.

We accept cancellations to bookings up to 12 hours prior to a tee time. If you cancel a tee time with at least 12 hours’ notice, there will be no charges incurred. In instances where golfers cancel with less than 12 hours’ notice, the golfer who booked the tee time will be charged a cancellation fee equivalent to the cost of the original booking. 

If the course is unplayable due to weather or other circumstances, you will not be charged for your booking. 

CANCELLING PLAYERS FROM A TEE TIME

If you book a twosome but cancel one player, you have now booked as a single and fall under the booking privileges of a single. Singles are permitted to book online with existing groups up to 8 days in advance.  Singles are also permitted to book within 48 hours of their tee times by calling GolfNorth’s Tee Reservation Centre or 8 days in advance with a group of 2 or 3. Should a single golfer, twosome or threesome book as a larger group and fail to cancel one or more players within 12 hours prior to a tee time, the golfer who booked the tee time will be charged a cancellation fee equivalent to the pro-rata cost of the original booking for those “no show” golfers in addition to his or her tee time.

NO SHOWS AND SHORT SHOWS

If you fail to show up for a tee time made in your name, the credit card on file will be charged a No-Show Fee equivalent to the cost of the original tee time reservation. If you show up with fewer people than originally booked for with less than 12 hours’ notice, you will be charged for the entire cost of the original reservation.  

PRE-PAID TEE TIMES

• NON-REFUNDABLE
• 100% transferable – customer can elect to give that tee time to someone they know
• Tee times can be moved to a different time or day, at least 12 hours before the tee time

The only exception to this rule is for large-scale tournaments, at which time the course will set aside a specific number of carts for event participants.

COURSE INFORMATION & POLICIES

COURSE CLOSING HOURS

The closing time at all GolfNorth courses is contingent on when it gets dark, extreme weather, or when the last group is off the course, whichever occurs first. If players are likely to finish the round prior to dark, then play/cart rental is not denied. We do however encourage all players to be off the course prior to darkness to prevent an accident or injury.  Subject to Covid 19 government regulations, Lounges do not close unless there are fewer than 12 players remaining on the course and Pro Shops do not close until all groups are off the course.
