As Our Guest

While Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club offers a relaxed and inviting environment, please note that we're a private club with guidelines in place to ensure everyone’s enjoyment. Members and their guests are kindly asked to adhere to the following policies.


 

General

Cellular phones, tablets, and laptops are not to be used anywhere on Club property except in the case of a medical emergency or in the following areas:

  • Parking Lot

However, personal handheld devices may be used for non-verbal, discrete, and silent information purposes.

Business papers, briefcases, and business meeting materials are not permitted in the Sequoia Room, A.V. Macan Lounge, Garden Lounge, 19th Hole or Tennis Centre unless permitted by the General Manager. Members may make advance arrangements with the Club Event Coordinator for the use of a private room for business purposes. Private rooms are subject to availability and applicable fees.

Arrival

All Guests are required to be registered by a Member. A Member may register their guest at the following areas: the Golf Shop, the Tennis Centre Front Desk or the Host Stand in the upper Clubhouse entrance hall.

Members are responsible for their guests and are expected to advise them of the Club Rules before they arrive on the Club property.


Dress Code

All Members and Guests are required to respect the Club's dress code and maintain a level of dress appropriate for a private club.

The Board of Directors has instructed management to bring any Rules violations to the attention of the Member immediately, including violations made by invited guests. Anyone who does not take corrective action to address the violation in question will be denied services. All such violations will be reported to the General Manager.
