About Us

In order to protect Members' access to tee times at their Home Club, the Director of Golf at each property will designate tee times for the Home Club Members only during high-demand periods, the high-demand periods may vary and are defines by the Home Club Member's playing patterns. Generally, these times are on weekends and holidays from opening to noon; and Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from noon to 3:30 p.m. At our Resort properties, these times are from opening until 1 p.m. Initially, limited Associate times are available during high-demand times; more are released to the Associate Club Member if the Home Club bookings are slower than anticipated.

Through LinkLine, Members are able to reserve for up to three guests, except for Saturdays, Sundays and Holiday Mondays from opening until 11:00 a.m. where one guest may be introduced. Subject to availability, requests for additional golfing guests may be made by contacting your Director of Golf at your Home Club. This applies at your Home Club or for Reciprocal Play. The frequency for introduction of the same guest is limited to twice per month. However, out-of-town golfing guests of Members may play an unlimited number of rounds, upon payment of the applicable guest fee in any two-week period, once per season. Guests must be accompanied by a ClubLink Member at all times unless prior arrangements are made with the golf shop.

Please use this information as a reference and see the Golf Shop staff if you have any questions.

If Home Club Members wish to entertain Non-Home Club Members in Home Club designated tee times on Saturday, Sunday and Holiday mornings prior to 11 a.m., a 1:1 ratio of Home Club Members to Non-Home Club Members is required. In the event a Home Club Member wishes to entertain additional Associate Club Members in an applicable Home Club designated time, a 'non-compliance fee' of $60 will be charged to the Member making the reservation.

Members have seven-day advance booking privileges (exceptions may be arranged for special circumstances through the Home Club Director of Golf or Head Professional). Tee times at all courses may be arranged through LinkLine (ClubLink's centralized tee time reservation system). To a maximum of two tee times per phone call. For your convenience, a LinkLine courtesy phone is available at each ClubLink facility. When booking tee times, Members are required to provide the name of each person in their group in order to eliminate double bookings by Members (thus using valuable tee time inventory for alternative Member Bookings.

Members have the choice to walk and carry their clubs, or to use a power cart or pull cart except at Glen Abbey and The Club at Bond Head which are cart mandatory properties. In conjunction with the rental a golf cart, the driver/renter of the cart accepts that he or she will operate the cart in a safe manner, will adhere to all rules set forth by the Club and/or ClubLink, and accepts complete liability for any damages to the golf cart or personal property.

Our Three Flag System

It is important to understand what is an appropriate pace of play, and not to generalize or suggest that a standard round at every club equate to 4 hours. We follow an objective to rate by time, how long it should take a foursome to play each hole at the respective club. By rating each hole, we can formulate an appropriate pace of play for the front and back nine (the pace of play for a front nine and back nine often differ). The resulting pace of play for eighteen holes will often exceed four hours. More consistent course playing times can be achieved with a greater pace of play awareness. The Starter and Play Coordinators facilitate this awareness.

Staying position on the course will positively affect the course pace of play. ClubLink has adopted a three flag system (green, yellow and red) called "Let us bring you up to speed." The flag system is used to identify a group’s position on the course relative to the group ahead. In cases where the group in front is not relevant (may be the lead group of the day), the colour of flag will indicate the group's position on the course relative to the start time and expected Pace of Play.

The Play Coordinator will monitor each group's position based on the following criteria. A green flag will be displayed when a group is in good position. If a group is out of position, the Play Coordinator will present the group with a yellow flag. This flag signifies that the group must pick up its pace to re-establish good position. In the event the group falls severely behind, the Play Coordinator will approach the group bearing a red flag. It is the Play Coordinator's responsibility to suggest the best possible resolution and may suggest allowing groups to play through or to pick-up and move ahead to re-establish good position.

Please refer to the Time Pace Chart for an example of how pace of play can be affected by time allowed to complete holes.

For all forms of guest fees or reciprocal fees paid other than for Corporate Events, the following structure applies for granting of Rain Checks regardless of weather conditions at the start of play:

• In the event a person does not complete 9 holes due to inclement weather, an 18 hole Rain Check shall be granted
• In the event a person does complete 9 holes but not more than 14 holes, a 9 hole Rain Check shall be granted
• In the event a person plays 15 holes or more but less than 18 holes, no Rain Checks shall be granted

Cell phones are permitted on ClubLink courses and in clubhouses. Members and Guests are encouraged to exercise discretion of use such that golfing/dining experiences are not diminished for other Members and Guests.

Always check in with the Golf Shop prior to using practice facilities. Always obey signage stay within teeing ground space provided and only hit in the direction of provided target areas.

Members are expected to enter their scores on the day of play for each round in the Golf Shop Handicap computer or via the GAO web site to keep their handicap current. If there are questions regarding scoring or the rules of golf, please see the Professional Staff at the club for assistance.
