Membership Fee & Greens Fees

• $190 annual fee covers GHIN subscription ($40) and Men’s Club prize pool ($150).
• Entry fees are due to the Pro Shop no later than Opening Day.
• 100% of the prize pool budget is paid back to members as Pro Shop credit.
• Every week pays low gross and low net scoring prizes.
• Each player pays greens fee (includes cart) to the Pro Shop before the round.
• An annual golf pass from The Falls Golf Club does not include Men’s Club membership.
• Falls Golf Club annual pass holders only pay the cart fee for Men’s Club play each week.

Tee Times & Pairing

• Communications Committee emails members on Mondays asking who is playing the following Saturday.
• Members reply with availability, pairing requests, and special time requests (best effort, not guaranteed).
• The committee sends pairings and tee times to members and the Pro Shop on Thursdays.
• Regular season tee times usually start around 7:00 a.m. with split tees (1 and 10).
• Pre-season tee times generally start later and may begin only on hole #1.

Men’s Club Handicap Index & Allowances

All weekly play and tournament events (plus optional skins) use net scoring for prizes.

• Scoring Committee calculates a Men’s Club Handicap Index using only Men’s Club rounds.
• The club does not use your current GHIN handicap for Men’s Club play.
• Allowance examples:
  • Optional skins cash prizes: 80% allowance (team events vary)
  • Low net shop credit prizes: 100% allowance (team events vary)
  • Birdie Board cash pot: 50% allowance
• Allowance recommendations come from the official World Golf Handicap system.

New Members

• New members must establish a Men’s Club Handicap Index before low net Pro Shop credit eligibility.
• Pre-season gives new members time to post at least 3 rounds and establish an index.
• New members without an established Men’s Club index can play optional net skins as a 0 handicap until established.
• More rounds improve index and course handicap accuracy.

Optional Birdie Board & Hole-In-One Club

• Hole-In-One Club: $10 cash to join. If a member in the HIO club makes an ace in Men’s Club play, they win the pot.
• Birdie Board: $5 cash. First player to record a net birdie on all 18 holes during regular season wins the pot.
• Only Men’s Club net birdies count toward the Birdie Board (50% allowance).

Optional Net Skins Game

• Optional net skins is offered for every Saturday open play and tournament event.
• Separate skins pots for Blue/Gold and Red/White during open play; some tournament skins are team skins.
• Skins cash is paid after scoring is completed.
• Half pops are used for skins so a natural birdie is less likely to be cut by a net par.
