Smoking Policy
In accordance with New York State law, smoking is prohibited in the Clubhouse and the Pool House at all times. This policy includes the use of electronic cigarettes.
Cell Phone and PDA Policy
For the avoidance of doubt, the Club’s cell phone and PDA policy applies to all members and their guests.
All electronic devices (e.g., cell phones and PDA’s) must be set in silent/vibrate mode at all times while on the grounds of the Club. The only areas permitted for cell phone and PDA calls are locker rooms and parking lots.
If a Member or guest needs to accept or return a call, it should be done only in the locker rooms or parking lots, not on the golf course or pool area. |
