Electronic communications devices may not be used on the golf course. In an effort to accommodate those who need to have some contact with family or business during a round, texting and emailing only (by Blackberry or phone) will be permitted in the vicinity of the snack house that follows the 11^th hole.  The use of electronic devices for these limited purposes shall not interfere with the pace of play and should be done in as discreet a manner as possible. 

The pool policy is as follows:  Electronic communications devices may not be used in the pool area but may be used in the locker rooms, parking lot and the posted “emergency communications” area.  The “emergency communications” area may be used for email/texting communication only; telephone conversations are not permitted.

Otherwise, the use of electronic communications devices on the grounds and in the clubhouse is strictly prohibited.  There are phone booths in the clubhouse provided for the use of electronic communications devices and they are also permitted in the locker rooms and two main parking lots.  Such devices may not be used elsewhere (including the driving range and practice areas, pro shop parking spaces, the area behind the first tee, the tennis courts and the public spaces in and around the clubhouse).

The Board has set the following schedule of penalties, which are assessed against a member for his or her own violations as well as any violation by a family member or guest:

1.                 1^st violation - $25 fine (which shall be contributed to the Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund);
2.                 2^nd violation – loss of applicable club privileges (golf, pool, tennis, clubhouse) for the 
                following  weekend; and
3.                 3^rd violation – loss of applicable club privileges (golf, pool, tennis, clubhouse) for one month.
4.                 Violations beyond the third will be referred to the Board for determination of an appropriate
                sanction.
