Maintaining the proper speed of play is essential for all players to have an enjoyable round at Spring Brook Country Club.  

Guests should play the tees that are appropriate for their handicaps.  

The Golf Committee has established a pace of play policy, play should take less than 2 hours for 9 holes and less than 4 hours for 18 holes. It is expected that all players will play "hit when ready" golf to maintain the pace guidelines. It is a group's responsibility to keep up with the group in front of them.

Check-in Policy:
Upon arrival, you are requested to drop off your golf clubs at the bag drop  located outside the  Pro Shop.  Please identify yourself and advise one of our golf staff members who your member host is for the day.  We will assist you with your golf clubs and direct you to the locker room.

Course Etiquette:
One of Spring Brook’s most important traditions is maintaining the golf course to championship conditions.  Please replace divots, repair ball marks on the greens, rake bunkers, and knock the sand off your shoes when exiting a bunker.  On days when practice at the Driving Range is from the mats only, please do not go forward to hit off the grass.

Please observe the following policies when playing the Spring Brook golf course:
Allow a group to play through when a hole in front is open.
Use carts in a careful manner. Do not drive in the rough; stay on cart paths.
Do not take practice shots or swings at times when the following group is ready to hit their next shot.

The caddie experience is a long-standing tradition at Spring Brook Country Club. Spring Brook has a tradition of utilizing caddies, and we want to continue that tradition and encourage members to walk if they are able. All players are expected to use caddies, when available, for either carrying their clubs or as a forecaddie when utilizing a cart.

Caddies are not employees of the club. As independent contractors, who work directly for the membership; it is their responsibility to meet your golf experience expectations.

Spring Brook Country Club has a no-tipping policy that covers all employees, except the Locker Room Attendants, Golf Course Beverage Servers, Golf Bag Room Attendants, and Valet. Tipping is appropriate for caddies who are not Club employees.
