Club Charge Accounts

1. Charging is a privilege of membership.  The Club reserves the right to suspend charging privileges and require the payment of all charges via credit or bank card in the event of abuse, failure to comply with all rules relating to Club charge accounts or non-payment.

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.

4. Members may not authorize unaccompanied guests, guests of other members, employees of the Club or visitors to the Club to make charges to their account without express authorization by Club Management.

5. In the case of corporate designees, both the designee and the corporation are responsible for the settlement of charges to a designee's account.

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.
