Why is there a membership cap of 135 members?
The reason for this membership cap is that golf courses are often unable to host large tournaments, especially with their own golf clubs for which they need to provide Saturday tee times. Large tournament demands greatly limit the number of courses we can play while simultaneously increasing the complexity of creating our annual schedule. We’ve always had a cap at 130 members, but have never had to activate it. However, recently the club has grown to over 150 members, this without any active recruiting. (Of course this web site is probably the biggest form of “advertising”.) In December of 2004 the board agreed to actively cap the membership at 135 members (and ties). Meaning that we’ll be closing the club to new members until membership dips to 134 members. A waiting list will be maintained and new members will be offered, in order, the opportunity to join the club.
