Before you go
Everything to know on arrival
Know before you go
- Book tee times online through the Classic Five booking page
- Play the tees that match your handicap; the card suggests blue for 0-9, white for 10-24 and gold or red above that
- A ball that crosses a paved road is out of bounds
- Leave coolers at home; only a personal thermos is allowed
- Bring a rain check slip home if weather ends your round; it is good for 60 days at Clifton Park
Pace of play
The course posts a keep-pace policy: a marshal can ask a group to speed up, and a group that falls a hole and a half behind after a second warning can be required to skip a hole. Choosing tees to match your handicap is the posted way to avoid slow play. Pick up after reaching double par.
Policies
Rain checks are issued when weather (not darkness) stops a round, as a share of fees based on holes played; they are valid for 60 days and only at the issuing course. Any ball that crosses a paved road is out of bounds. Coolers are not allowed on the course, apart from a personal-use thermos.
