Upon joining Cedar Creek, all members are given the privilege of a clubhouse charge account.  All members have the choice of either paying cash, personal credit card or signing a charge slip for each transaction/purchase at Cedar Creek.  The billing period ends the last day of each month and a bill will be sent shortly after that time via e-mail.  Members that do not have access to e-mail will be sent a bill via U.S. Postal Service.  Members may pay their monthly bill by cash, check or credit card.  Credit card payments are accepted in person only.  The credit card must be swiped in the golf shop.  Cedar Creek does not accept credit card payments via phone correspondence.  Members are required to pay their member charge monthly.  Any member charge that becomes 60 days past due will receive a 2% late charge.
  
Newsletters are sent to each member via e-mail.  The newsletter will help enrich the experience by informing each member of any activities or general information that might be of interest.  Newsletters will be sent when management feels correspondence is of interest.

Guest Information   
Members with golf privileges may have guests. A member is expected to play with his/her guest or make arrangements for another member to play with his/her guests. If the member is unable to play with his/her guests, permission for his/her guest to play must be obtained from the General Manager or Golf Operations Manager of the Golf Club at Cedar Creek.

A guest may play the Golf Club at Cedar Creek (6) times between the months of May and September.

A single member may have up to 7 guests at one time. Any amount of players over 7 is considered an outing. Members may obtain special permission to have a golf outing on days other than Monday or Wednesday from the General Manager or Golf Operations Manager at the Golf Club at Cedar Creek.

A member of the Golf Club at Cedar Creek is responsible for his/her guests' conduct, dress and any indebtedness to the Golf Club of Cedar Creek that the guest may incur.

General Information
Each member must check-in at the golf shop tee-sheet prior to his/her round of golf at The Golf Club at Cedar Creek.  Corporate and Limited Members are required to inform the golf shop if they will be playing 9 or 18 holes.

Every member is required to register his/her guest at the golf shop prior to playing golf at the Golf Club at Cedar Creek.

Fivesomes
Planned groups of five players are allowed Monday thru Friday "ONLY"  All groups of five players will be monitored for pace of play.  Please be courteous of other golfers when playing in a group of five players.  Please avoid groups of five players when possible.  Groups of five players are never encouraged at the Golf Club at Cedar Creek.  Groups of five players may be allowed on weekends on a need only basis that will be identified by golf shop personnel.  If a five-some is allowed on a weekend or holiday the five-some is required to make the turn in 2 hours.  If the five-some plays the front nine in over 2 hours the group will be asked to break into a two-some and three-some.  NO EXCEPTIONS!

Pace of Play
The recommended time allotted for the completion of a golf round at the Golf Club at Cedar Creek is 4 hours and 10 minutes or less for an 18 hole round and 2 hours and 5 minutes for a 9 hole round. The amount of time allotted is more than adequate, provided all golfers remain aware of the rights of others to play without delay. It is the responsibility of each group to keep pace with the group ahead of them. If a group falls more than one complete hole behind, that group is obligated to allow any groups, who may be waiting, to play through. However, the best option is for the slow group to close the gap between themselves and the group in front. Every member has the responsibility of remaining observant of his/her position on the golf course. The staff at The Golf Club at Cedar Creek have the authority to keep play moving at the indicated pace listed above.

Proper Golf Attire
All golfers are required to wear proper golf attire. Items similar to those sold in the Golf Shop are considered appropriate. Appropriate examples include but are not limited to: Jeans, Khakis, shorts of modest length, collard shirts and mock neck shirts. Inappropriate examples include but are not limited to: Jeans with holes, pants or slacks with holes, cut-offs, tank tops or traditional t-shirts. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Head Golf Professional or General Manager for more information.
