Waitemata Golf Club Tee Booking Policy
The downside to our current thriving membership base is that there is a serious amount of pressure on tee times. This is now the case throughout most of the week.
While we are doing our best to create as many tee times as possible, with priority to members for a large majority of the week, there are only so many times available. We are aware it can be difficult for members to make bookings at their preferred times, therefore enjoying a benefit of their club membership.
We are regularly seeing start sheets that were almost 100% full 1 or 2 days out, left with 20-30 unused tee times.
Obviously, there are circumstances where a late cancellation is unavoidable, but members who are regularly cancelling their tee time last minute or just not showing up to play means that others have limited or no opportunity to utilise unused time slots.
While we can put club tee booking policies in place and try to crack down on those who are not following these policies, essentially this all comes down to each member making sure they are doing their bit to allow all members to be able to get the most out of their booking opportunities.
Expectations
Guidelines of what is expected of members in the use of the booking system:
This is a further request for ALL members to respect the interest of all members of our club by following these guidelines;
? Only book tee times which you intend to use
? Cancel any booking that will not be used as soon as possible to allow others a chance to play.
An acceptable period for cancellations is 24 hours prior to a tee time
? DO NOT make a booking on behalf of another player who may not be intending to play
? Check in with the PRO SHOP STAFF a minimum of 10 minutes before your tee time
Waitlist
If you have had trouble booking a time you want, try using the waitlist feature. Put yourself on the waitlist in the timeframe that you’d like to play and keep an eye out for any cancellations which will automatically move your booking into the start sheet.
Implementation
Staff will create periodic No-Show reports. Members who repeatedly fail to turn up for their tee time or cancel bookings at short notice will have their Online Booking Rights revoked for a period of 2-3 weeks.
If these behaviours continue, the members online booking rights may be suspended for longer periods, followed by playing right being removed if necessary.
For unavoidable emergency no-shows; please email your reason directly to golf@waitematagolf.co.nz to avoid penalties being applied to your membership (as well as cancelling your tee time ASAP).
Weather: Weather conditions will be noted and applied as appropriate to any no-shows.
