PACE OF PLAY POLICY
Glen Oak prides itself on a four hour round of golf. If players fail to keep their place on the course and lose in distance one clear hole on those in front, it is recommended that they permit following players to play through. Four hours or less is our goal and allows the maximum time for full enjoyment by all.
TIPPING
Gratuity for coat check and dining wait staff is not necessary, as gratuity is already included in the respective personnel’s compensation. Valet service is complimentary; attendants appreciate a tip at your discretion.
