Important Notes For 2023

• All players must purchase their GHIN online due to changes with Kansas Golf Association (Central Links). This is due to the fact that your GHIN Handicap will be valid 1 year from the day you sign up. So everyone could have a different expiration date. This will also allow you to setup a renewal reminder along with an auto renew so you will never be without your handicap. com/handicap-sign-up/ (under Golf Course tab ~ Handicap sign-up)

In order to win the bid on the tee time auction, the bidder must be an active paid Men’s Club member for the current season. NEW- The auction style has changed from a Straight Bid to an Auto Bid style. How Auto Bid works: Enter the maximum bid amount you are willing to spend for this item. If you are outbid at any time, we will place the next minimum bid on your behalf.

Example: The current bid is $10 and minimum bid increment is $5. If you’re willing to pay $50 for the item, place a bid for $50. Only $15 ($10+$5) minimum bid will be used for your first bid. If next bidder out-bids you by placing a bid of $20 ($15 +$5), the software will automatically place the next bid on your behalf for $25 ($20+$5). This will continue until your maximum amount is lower than the next minimum bid. 

The auction ends, March 23^rd at 8:00pm.

Tee Times will be reserved for consecutive Wednesdays from April-August (Peak Season start time) and September-October (Fall Season start time). The Fall tee time will be 40 minutes later then the Peak Season tee time due to the sunrise time, unless you choose a tee time 4 pm or later.

Premium Season Long Tee Time Rules

• The tee time is valid for up to 5 golfers.
• The group who wins the tee time will be responsible for calling and canceling the tee time when the tee time is not being used. If 2 or more no-shows occur during the season without a 24-hour cancellation notice, the group may lose the remaining reserved Men’s Club tee times for the season.
• The group who wins the tee time will be responsible for calling and adjusting the tee time size if the group is smaller than the reserved tee time. If tee time constantly shows up with fewer golfers than reserved, the group may lose the remaining reserved Men’s Club tee times for the season or the golf course may adjust the reserved tee time size for the remainder of the season. 
• The golf course reserves the right to add golfers to your tee time when space is available.
• The money raised from the online auction will be added and split between the Men’s Club Final Food Night and Club Championship.
