These Policies, Rules and Guidelines (herein the "Policies") have been crafted to support the following objectives of Canebrake Country Club (herein the "Club"):

• To ensure the Club observes operational practices that are both accommodating to members and in keeping with sound business practices.
• To aid the management and staff of the Club in providing the highest level of services and access to the most possible members.
• To foster and maintain a family oriented recreational environment that is safe, clean and comfortable.
• To avoid confusion in the many details and interactions forming a member's relationship with the Club.

The Club in its sole discretion may amend these Policies at any time; however, the basic rule at the Club will remain the same – to serve you, and make your time with us most enjoyable.

2. Members should sign all charges legibly and indicate their membership number.

3. Members are not allowed to sign the names of other members to charge tickets, nor may they in any way authorize charges to an account other than their own.

6. Only designees of a corporate account may make charges to a corporate membership account.

7. In the event a member feels a charge to such member's account is in the wrong amount, or that a charge has been incorrectly charged to such member's account, the member should notify the Club accounting office at once so the contested charge may be researched and resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the Club and the member.  At no time does the contesting of a charge by a member constitute sufficient reason to delay prompt payment of the remaining uncontested balance due on a member's account.  In the event that a contested charge is not immediately resolvable, the member should pay such member's full uncontested balance on time.

8. The Club may make certain mandatory or recurring charges, including, but not limited to, cart and greens fees, bag storage fees and locker rental fees, to a member's account without obtaining a member's signature on a Club billing ticket.

9. A statement setting forth dues, fees and charges for food, beverage, merchandise, services and any other items charged to a member's account will be mailed to each member on a monthly basis in the form of a statement, and the full amount of each monthly statement will be due upon receipt.  Club accounts will be considered delinquent if not paid by the 20th day of the month in which the statement was mailed or otherwise transmitted to the member.  Past due accounts will accrue each month an amount equal to a minimum late fee established by the Club and/or interest at the maximum non-usurious rate permitted by law from the date of the statement until paid in full. 

10. The Club will settle all uncontested balances more than sixty days past due by charging the uncontested balance and all accrued late fees and finance charges to the credit card account authorized for such purposes by the member in such member's Membership Agreement.

11. If the Club account of any member or designee is delinquent, the Club may take whatever action it deems necessary to collect any monies owed.  If the Club commences any legal action to collect any amount owed by a member or designee, or to enforce any other liability to the Club of a member or designee, the Club shall be entitled to all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in the collection of any monies owed to the Club.

12. The Club, at its discretion, may charge a member's account in the amount the Club deems necessary to reimburse the Club for costs it incurred or revenue it lost as a result of the destruction or damage of Club property or closures of Club facilities caused by a member, such member's immediate family or such member's guests.  Such costs may include, but are not limited to, reimbursing the Club for wages and payroll taxes of Club employees, the cost of materials and contract labor required for timely repairs, the cost of new items to replace items damaged beyond repair and the amount of revenue the Club may have reasonably foregone due to a partial or full closure or disruption of its operations.  Any such charge for the reimbursement of damages is payable on the same terms as other Club charges.

13. The Club may suspend or terminate any membership for failure to pay the membership dues, fees, charges or any other amount owed to the Club in a proper and timely manner.  Membership may be suspended if Club accounts are not paid in full by the twentieth day of the month and is subject to termination if Club accounts are not paid in full within thirty days after the suspension of membership.  The Club, at its sole discretion, may determine not to seek the suspension or termination of membership in such instances, but such determination shall not be deemed a waiver of its right to seek the suspension or termination of membership at a later date or against any other member of the Club.

14. A member's financial responsibility for such member's Club account includes charges of family members and accompanied guests.  The Club will not attempt to prevent family members of accompanied guests of a member from making charges to a member's account, but the Club does reserve the right to suspend or cancel the charging privileges of a member if settlement of the member's account becomes, in the Club's opinion, unmanageable or requires an inordinate amount of effort to settle on a regular basis due to charges made by the immediate family or guests of a member.

Golf

Hours of Play

The golf shop and the golf course will be open in accordance with posted hours.  Members should not begin play before scheduled tee times unless specifically authorized by the golf shop.

Guests

1. All guests of Full, Intermediate Junior, Junior, Out-of-Town and National Members must play with the member sponsoring their visit.  Corporate members may either play with their guests or arrange for guests to play on an unaccompanied basis with prior approval from the golf shop.

2. Full, Intermediate Junior, Junior, Out-of-Town, and National Members, on weekdays (other than holidays), may bring a maximum of 3 guests per tee times.  However, on weekends and holidays, Full, Intermediate Junior, Junior, Out-of-Town, and National Members may bring only 1 guest per tee time scheduled before 12:00pm or a maximum of 3 guests per tee time scheduled after 12:00pm.  The Club, at its discretion, may define certain "off season" dates during which the number of guests permitted per member for weekend and holiday tee times before 12:00pm is increased.

3. Corporate Members, on weekdays (other than holidays), may bring a maximum of 7 guests per round when accompanying their guests, or they may sponsor a maximum of 8 unaccompanied guests.  However, on weekends and holidays, Corporate Members may bring a maximum of 3 guests per tee time scheduled before 12:00pm or a maximum of 7 guests per tee time scheduled after 12:00pm.  No unaccompanied guests are permitted on weekends and holidays before 12:00pm, but Corporate Members may sponsor a maximum of 4 unaccompanied guests after 12:00pm on weekends and holidays.  The Club, at its discretion, may define certain "off season" dates during which the number of guests permitted per member for weekend and holiday tee times before 12:00pm is increased.

4. The Club, in its sole discretion, may elect to prevent certain non-member individuals from playing as the guest of members if the play of such non-members as a guest becomes so frequent that it begins to compromise the integrity of membership.  In such instances, the Club will endeavor to notify all members who routinely bring such a non-member individual to play as a guest of its intention to no longer accommodate such non-member as a guest.

5. The Club will make special accommodations on a seasonal basis for the non-immediate family members of members who may otherwise not be permitted to play at certain times due to other guest play guidelines to play as guests of members.  Members should consult the golf shop to determine the correct dates and times of such accommodations.

Tee Times

1. It is recommended that all groups reserve a tee time.  In general, the number of tee times available to members and their immediate family members is one tee time per member, and one tee time per immediate family member per day.  However, during certain peak times, the golf shop may further restrict the availability of tee times to one per member per day.

2. The Club, at its sole discretion, may prohibit groups consisting completely of the children of members and their guests from reserving tee times during certain peak times

3. Groups with a tee time always have preference in starting play over groups who do not have a tee time.

4. Full, Intermediate Junior, Junior, Out-of-Town, and National Members may reserve weekday (other than holiday) tee times up to 14 days in advance of the day of play by calling or visiting the golf shop in person.

5. Weekend and holiday tee times are distributed on a request basis.  Starting on the Sunday immediately prior to the weekend or holiday, Full, Intermediate Junior, Junior, Out-of-Town, and National Members may make requests for tee times by calling or visiting the golf shop in person.  After the close of the golf shop on Wednesday, the golf shop will assign tee times to all groups, attempting to start all groups as close as possible to the time they have requested.  Weekend and holiday tee times are then made available for members to verify beginning Thursday morning.

6. Groups of members that regularly number more than 4, and who wish to establish a "game" to be played via multiple tee times on a regular day and time, should elect a captain for their group who will serve as the group's liaison with the golf shop in reserving their tee time.  The group captain is then responsible for submitting a single request for all the tee times needed by their group on a particular day, and for verifying with the golf shop at least 24 hours before the reserved tee times, the names of all persons playing, and if the total number of times reserved for their group will all be needed, or if some should be released.  The Club, at its discretion, may not accommodate requests for multiple tee times from groups of members whose inability to work within this framework results in repeated "no show" tee times.

7. During peak times, the golf shop has the discretion to reserve tee times for groups of three or more players.

8. The golf shop should be notified of a member's intention to not utilize a previously scheduled tee time at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled tee time.  Members who repeatedly "no show" for scheduled tee times or who gave less than the required notice may be denied advance tee time bookings.

9. The golf shop reserves the right to combine smaller groups.

10. The golf shop, at its sole discretion, may create, eliminate, assign or re-arrange previously assigned tee times to promote achievement of the Club's targeted pace of play or for other reasons it deems to be in the best interest of the majority of members playing on a particular day or at a particular time.

11. The Club may reserve certain tee times for use in accommodating member events or may reserve the entire golf course for a member event.

Registration

1. All players, including those walking, must register in the golf shop before beginning play.  To ensure reserved tee times will not be re-assigned, players should register a minimum of 30 minutes before their scheduled tee time or phone the golf shop if they will be arriving at the last moment.  Members should not start play without registering under any circumstances.

2. When registering, members must provide the names of all guests, and either pay the appropriate guest fee, or ensure their guests pay appropriate guest fees.  If guests do not pay before beginning play, their fee will be automatically charged to the member with whom they are playing.

3. Failing to register in the golf shop prior to play may result in tee times being assigned to other groups.

4. Members should always review the Club activities board before beginning play to learn of items that may affect use of the Club golf facilities on that day or on other days in the near future.

Starting Play

1. Play may begin only with approval from the golf shop, and unless specifically directed by the golf shop staff, all play will begin from the #1 tee.  Under no circumstances should play be started from holes near residences bordering or near the course.

2. No play may begin from the #10 tee unless authorized by the golf shop.  Players starting from the #10 tee are not guaranteed a turning time onto the first tee.

3. Players without tee times or with later tee times are not allowed to cut in front of groups with starting times at the first tee or elsewhere on the course.

4. In the event tee times are delayed due to weather or other circumstances, the golf shop has complete discretion in re-organizing or canceling scheduled tee times that were missed due to weather or other circumstances in order to best accommodate the most members scheduled for play on that day.

5. On the first hole, to ensure proper spacing between groups, players should wait until all players in the group in front are visible and within 50 yards of the first green before striking their tee shots.

Pace of Play

1. Regarding pace of play, the Club is committed to the principles that:

• The pace at which play proceeds is an integral part of the enjoyment of a round of golf.
• Taking action to keep your group on pace is a fundamental responsibility of every member.

2. In general, all play is expected to proceed at an efficient pace of, on average 14 minutes per hole or faster, unless extremely adverse weather or other conditions are prevalent.  Accordingly, groups that begin play during these times should observe all the considerations and guidelines stated below.

3. At off peak times, groups unable to play at the targeted pace may allow faster following groups to play through as a means of preventing their slower play from adversely impacting following groups.

4. At peak times, allowing a faster following group to play through slows play for many other following groups.  As a result, at peak times, groups unable to play at the targeted pace must take whatever means are necessary to limit their time per hole to an average of 14 minutes.

5. While the Club has course rangers to aid in achieving a proper pace of play, members are encouraged to take responsibility for maintaining pace of play by:
• Remembering there are other groups on the golf course.
• Noting the time they actually begin play on their scorecard, timing their own group's progress, and adjusting their pace if it is slow.
• Continually observing the pace of the group behind their group and allowing a following group through if it is a non peak-time or skipping half a hole or an entire hole if it is a peak time.
• Taking the initiative to motion the group behind to continue play whenever their group slows or stops to search for lost balls.
• Making sure their guests understand the Club's pace of play policies.

6. At peak times, groups playing at a pace significantly slower than a 14 minute per hole average may be asked by the golf shop to skip a portion of a hole, or an entire hole or holes, to preserve a proper pace of play for the majority of players on the course.

7. Always cooperate fully with the ranger or other members of the golf shop staff who may be on the course managing the pace of play.

8. At peak times, singles and twosomes should not expect to play at a pace significantly faster than threesomes or foursomes.

9. Any groups larger than a foursome must have permission from the golf shop staff before beginning play and must adhere to all pace of play guidelines.

10. Players or groups who regularly are unable to play at a 14 minute per hole on average pace may not be allowed to begin play at certain peak times as determined by the golf shop.

11. Groups stopping play after nine holes long enough to lose their position on the tenth tee will be deemed to have lost their position on the golf course and will be worked in at the discretion of the golf club staff.

Golf Cart Usage

1. Players must always observe the cart usage rules posted in the golf shop, on the first tee, and throughout the course without exception.  Cart usage rules are declared on a daily basis, and in general, one of the following four rules, as declared by appropriate signage, will be in effect:

• Carts may be taken off paths at 90-degree angles except as restricted by on course signage.

• Carts are restricted to paths except for players with an approved handicap status who must observe the 90-degree rule.

• All carts must remain on paths including those operated by players with an approved handicap status.

• Only walking is allowed.

2. If on course cart use signage conflicts with other posted cart use signage, the more conservative directions should always be followed.

3. When the use of a golf cart is restricted to paths, carts must remain on paths at all times.

4. Each operator of a golf cart must be at least sixteen years of age and have a valid automobile driver's license.

5. Only two persons and two sets of clubs are permitted per cart.

6. The Club, at its discretion, may make the use of golf carts mandatory for certain events, or for play beginning during certain times.

7. Golf carts may be operated only on Club property.  Under no circumstances should golf carts be driven to residences near the Club.

8. Only golf carts owned and made available by the Club are allowed on the golf course.  Under no circumstances are members allowed to use their own golf carts.

9. Members are fully liable for golf carts in their use, and the cost of repair to a golf cart damaged by a member shall be charged to the member's Club account, or in the case of a guest, the sponsoring member.  Members, designees, immediate family members and guests using a golf cart are fully responsible for any and all damages, including personal injury and property damage, that is caused by their operation of a golf cart and members shall reimburse
the Club for any and all damages it may sustain by reason of the member's operation of a golf cart.

10. Members using a golf cart accept and assume all responsibility for liability connected with operation of the golf cart.  The member also expressly indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless the Club and its shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees, affiliates, representatives, and agents from any and all damages, whether direct or consequential, arising from or related to the use and operation of a golf cart by a member, immediate family member or guest.

Course Care, Etiquette, & Attire

1. It is the Club's position that members and their guests play a critical role in helping maintain the playability and enjoyability of the golf course.  Accordingly, members are expected to observe the following practices, and to make sure their guests do the same:
• Fix ball marks on all greens.
• Fill your divots with sand.
• Rake or smooth the sand after playing from bunkers.
• Avoid leaving cigarette butts or other litter on the course.
• Avoid excessively loud language or vulgar profanity.
• Avoid club throwing or damage to the golf course.
• Avoid "hitting into" other groups unless properly signaled.

2. Proper attire is required for all players and applies to both the golf course and practice area.  Golfers must wear a shirt with a collar and hemmed shorts or slacks.  If shorts are worn for use of the Club's golf facilities, they must be at least of "Bermuda length" for both men and ladies.  Ladies may wear shirts without collars but may not wear halter tops.  Members should ensure their guests are aware of and adhere to such policies.

3. The Club follows a "no metal spikes" policy regarding golf shoes.  Members and their guests should accordingly wear only golf shoes without metal spikes while using any of the Club's golf facilities.

4. Under no circumstances should balls be hit from any point on the course with the intent of the shot landing outside the course.  Failure to abide by this rule may result in suspension or termination of membership.

Handicaps

1. Official handicaps are computed under the supervision of the golf professional in accordance with the most current USGA handicapping system.

2. The Club reserves the right to limit entry into certain Club sponsored events only to players who have adhered to all necessary procedures for establishing an official handicap including, but not limited to, the posting of scores for every round played.

3. The Club, at its discretion, may enter a score for a player if the player fails to do so.

Practice Area

1. All practice activity should be confined to the Club's practice areas.  Practicing on the course is not allowed at any time.

2. Hours of operation for the Club's practice facilities will be posted in the golf shop and should be followed at all times.  To ensure the desired quality of the practice facilities, it may be necessary to close them for agronomic practices, mowing, the collection of practice balls or inclement weather from time to time.

3. Club rules for golf course attire and etiquette apply for all practice areas.

4. Lessons given by golf professionals other than those employed by the Club must be approved in advance by the Club.

5. Balls provided by the Club for use at the practice area are strictly the property of the Club and are not for use by members on the golf course or any other area except the Club practice area, and should not be removed from the practice area under any circumstances.

6. Care should be taken at all times to hit practice shots only from the portions of the practice area marked for use each day.

7. Under no circumstances should balls be hit from any of the club's practice areas with the intent of the shot landing outside the practice area.  Failure to abide by this rule may result in suspension or termination of membership.

Children

1. Children under the age of 12 are allowed on the golf course and practice areas only if closely supervised by an adult at all times.  Children on the course, but not playing, must be closely watched and prevented from interfering with the play of other groups.

2. All children are subject to the same dress code as other players.

3. The Club at its sole discretion may require children, depending upon their familiarity and mastery of basic course etiquette, and especially pace of play, to complete a series of orientation lessons with a member of the golf shop staff before they are allowed to utilize the Club golf facilities either with or without the company of an adult.

Non-Member Play

1. The Club may allow members of other private and semi-private club's to be paying guests of the Club with the consent and approval of the Head Golf Professional.

4. The Club may host a member-sponsored event of any size Tuesday – Sunday with the approval of the Board of Governors.

Gratuities

The Club does not include a gratuity automatically on food and beverage charges or other purchases, and thus encourages members to add appropriate gratuities to their food and beverage charges.  Members should feel free to provide a gratuity or "tip" to other club employees such as bag room and locker room attendants when they feel it is appropriate.  The Club reserves the right to automatically include a stipulated minimum gratuity to member's food and beverage charges in certain instances including, but not limited to, tickets that members "abandon" without closing or signing, and charges applying to parties of 8 or more people.

It is customary, in November, for the Club to send a letter to members providing members the opportunity to charge to the Club account a contribution to a holiday fund administered by the Club for distribution to regular Club employees in December.  Any such charged contribution is purely voluntary on the member's part and is offered to members purely as an alternative to making similar gestures to employees individually.  All such contributions are distributed to employees.

Membership Correspondence
Each member is responsible for notifying the Club, in writing, of his or her mailing address and any changes thereto, to which the member wishes all notices and statements from the Club to be sent.  A member shall be deemed to have received mailings from the Club ten (10) days after they have been mailed to the address on file with the Club.  The failure of a member to promptly notify the Club of a change in such member's address is not sufficient reason for the waiver of late fees or other charges accrued to such member's account.  The official address for correspondence with the Club is:

Canebrake Country Club

#1 Cane Drive

Hattiesburg, MS  39402

Telephone:  601-271-2010

Fax  601-271-2767

Guests

Guests of members will be entitled to use the Club facilities upon the payment of guest fees and will be subject to the following rules:

1. All guests are considered to be either accompanied or sponsored.  An accompanied guest uses the Club in the company of a member.  A sponsored guest is defined as a guest sponsored by the member but using the facilities of the Club without the member.  A sponsored guest must reside outside of Lamar County and any contiguous counties, and must be registered by the sponsoring member with the Club prior to the arrival of the sponsored guest(s).

2. Guest fees will be charged to the member's account for the use of the facilities of the Club by accompanied and sponsored guests.  Such fees will be determined from time to time by the Club.  All purchases of services and merchandise, including food and beverages, may be charged to the sponsoring member's Club account.

3. The sponsoring member is responsible for the conduct of a guest while at the Club.  If the manner, behavior or appearance of any guest is deemed to be unsatisfactory, the sponsoring member shall, at the request of the Club, cause such guest to leave the premises of the Club, or alternatively, the Club may request the guest to leave the premises.

4. To ensure member's access to certain Club facilities, the Club has established guidelines restricting the number, the day, the time of day, and the frequency with which a member may invite guests in general, or the same guest repeatedly, to the Club.  These guidelines may be changed from time to time at the sole discretion of the Club.

5. The Club, at its sole discretion, may elect to not allow certain individuals to use the Club as the guest of a member.  Instances when this may be the case include, but are not limited to, individuals who are members of the Club whose membership privileges have been suspended, individuals who are former members whose membership has been terminated by the Club, the former spouses of members, individuals actively involved in litigation with the Club or other members and individuals who may be restricted by court order from approaching members or employees of the Club.

6. Members are expected to support the spirit of membership and guest visitation rules by not endeavoring to bring the same guest to the Club repeatedly as a substitute for membership or acting in concert with other members to do so.

Inclement Weather

All members, immediate family members and guests use the Club's outdoor facilities, including golf and pool facilities, at their own risk of injury caused by lightning, wind, rain, hail and other elements of inclement weather.  The determination as to whether conditions are safe or unsafe due to the threat or presence of inclement weather remains at all times the sole responsibility of the member, immediate family member and guest.  The Club encourages all members, immediate family and guests to always be aware of changing weather conditions and always delay or halt their use of golf and pool facilities and seek appropriate shelter when they believe inclement weather makes conditions unsafe.

The Club does not possess or attempt to use any specialized equipment to detect the presence of inclement weather, and its staff will not endeavor to make judgements, declarations, endorsements or guarantees as to when conditions are safe or unsafe as a result of the threat or presence of inclement weather.  The Club will not prevent a member, immediate family member or guest from halting, delaying, starting or restarting use of the Club's golf or pool facilities as a result of the personal evaluation of the member, immediate family member or guest as to whether conditions are safe or unsafe due to the threat or presence of inclement weather.

However, the Club, at its sole discretion, may, exclusively for purposes of maintaining the orderly use of the Club's golf or pool facilities, halt, delay, start or re-start use of the Club's golf or pool facilities by members, immediate family members or guests.  Such action by the Club shall in no way constitute a judgment, declaration, endorsement or guarantee by the Club of any kind as to whether conditions are safe or unsafe due to the threat or presence of inclement weather, and in no way does such action by the Club diminish the personal responsibility of the member, immediate family member or guest for making a personal evaluation as to whether conditions are safe or unsafe due to the threat or presence of inclement weather.

In the event that a member, immediate family member or guest as a result of the personal evaluation of such member, immediate family member or guest as to whether conditions are safe or unsafe due to the threat or presence of inclement weather seeks to not start or re-start use of the Club's golf or pool facilities, such member shall be entitled to an appropriately pro-rated refund of any golf cart fee, guest fee or event entry fee that may ha
