Touisset Policies & rules

Golf League Policy

1.  A minimum of 32 players is required to utilize the golf league green fee rate and reserve a closed first tee before 5:00pm, 20 players after 5:00pm

2.  All prizes and meals are to be purchased from Touisset Country Club.  It is a violation of Massachusetts law Chapter 138 to bring and food or beverage for personal comsumption or distribution to others, or any merchandise for distribution to others onto these licensed premises.  Any such items will be confiscated and or persons involved will be removed from premises.

3.  Golf leagues should observe their starting time.  Early starters may, at the discretion of management, cause a change in the league's arranged start or finish time, in order to clear for public play.

4.  All golf league players must check in at the pro shop before starting play.  This includes Touisset Country Club Season Pass holders.  These records are used to guage the finishing time of the league's use of the first tee and to provide an attendance record.  Lack of attendance will cause a review of the golf league's status as to the closed tee and green fee rate.

5.  League organizers are responsible to call off play due to bad weather, and to schedule make-up dates.  Touisset Country Club does not issue rain checks to golf league players.  The fees paid on a round canceled for bad weather are rolled over to the make-up week, not the next scheduled week.  If a round is called off and scored and no make-up is scheduled, there is no rain check.

6.  All golf leagues are to observe U.S.G.A. rules as amended by Local Rules as appear on the scorecard, and as may be amended by league organizers following pro shop approval.
