Guest Experience

When you arrive, you'll be greeted by our Outside Service staff at the bag drop. Let the attendant know you're a guest, and they'll direct you from there.

Parking is open to all guests on the right side of the main gate entrance.

We recommend arriving about an hour before your tee time — a little earlier if your group is joining us for lunch beforehand. This gives you time to get settled, change, and warm up without feeling rushed.

Pull up to our bag drop at the top of the cart staging area in front of the clubhouse, and our outside service team will take it from there — your bag will be waiting when you're ready to play. There's no need to carry clubs through the clubhouse.

Stop into the golf shop to check in for your round. Our staff will have your tee time on file under your member-host's name. It's also a great place to grab anything you may have forgotten — gloves, balls, tees, and more.

The practice range and short game area are available to guests prior to your round. Range balls are complimentary.

We take pride in maintaining a welcoming and polished environment throughout the club. Here's what to plan on:

• On the course: Collared shirts (tucked in), golf slacks or tailored golf shorts. No denim, cargo shorts, or athletic wear.

• In the clubhouse: The same standard applies. Hats and visors are permitted in all indoor areas.

•  Dining room: Casual Resort Attire.

• Footwear: Soft spikes or spikeless golf shoes are required on the course. Metal spikes are not permitted.

Please change into golf shoes in the locker room rather than the parking lot — we have comfortable facilities waiting for you.

Guests are welcome to use all our locker room facilities. A day locker will be available so you can store your belongings and change at your leisure.

Our clubhouse includes: dining room, bar, patio, all of which are open to guests accompanied by their member-host. We also have a fitness center available for our members (you must be 12 and up to be able to use the fitness center).

Your member-host handles guest fees for the round, which typically include greens fees, cart or caddie fees, and food and beverage during the round. We want you to relax and enjoy the experience — not worry about the tab.

If you'd like to make a purchase in the golf shop, we accept cash and credit cards. Food and beverage in the clubhouse is payable by guests with cash or card.

Gratuity is always welcome and appreciated by our team. If you'd like to show your appreciation to outside service staff, locker room attendants, caddies, or our dining team, cash is the easiest way to do so.

We ask that all guests keep phones on silent upon arriving at Gentle Creek Country Club.

'Phone calls are permitted outdoors and in designated areas. We ask that phones not be used inside the clubhouse, dining room, or on the driving range.

Photography on the course and around the property is welcome for personal use. We simply ask that photos or videos intended for publication be approved in advance. Posting on social media? Tag us at @gentlecreekcc 

Permitted in outdoor areas only, away from dining patios and event spaces.

Our members are passionate about this club, and we think you'll see why. A few things that help everyone have a great experience:

• Pace of play: We take pace seriously. If a hole gets away from you, please pick up and move along — it keeps things enjoyable for everyone on the course.

•  Children: Children are welcome in all areas of the club. Children under twelve (12) years of age are not allowed on or about the Club Facilities unless directly accompanied and supervised by an adult. No junior golfers under the age of 16 is permitted to play the golf course unless accompanied by an adult member.

• Pets: Dogs or other pets (with the exception of those designated as service animals) are not permitted on or about the Club Facilities, except with the written permission of the Club. Where dogs are permitted on the grounds, they MUST be on a leash at all times.

• Guest frequency: Members may host the same guest up to 6 times per calendar year.

Most importantly — welcome. We hope this is the first of many visits, and we look forward to taking great care of you.
