Guest Information -

Upon Arrival

Golfing Guests ~ On arrival please drop your golf clubs at the bag drop located directly in front of the Pro Shop. Ring the bell and one of our back shop attendants will collect your equipment. Once you have parked your vehicle and gathered your shoes, check in at the Pro Shop. Either your host for your round or a member of our staff will give you information on directions to the locker room. Check in with the locker room steward at the counter just left of the bottom of the stairs. They will escort you to the guest lockers.

If your host has yet to make contact with you, please return to the Pro Shop, and one of our staff will give you information pertaining to the whereabouts of your host, and your clubs, the practice area, putting green, chalet and the first tee.

Upon completion of your round you may leave your clubs at the designated area just past the end of cart path from the 18th green. Our staff will pick up your clubs, clean them, and put them on the bag rack at the rear back shop entrance door. After you have finished in the clubhouse please drive your vehicle back to the bag drop area at the front of the golf shop. Enter the Pro Shop and our staff will take your clubs to your car after you have identified them. If it is after dark and you are still in the clubhouse, our staff will deliver your clubs to the cloakroom, which is just inside the front doors of the clubhouse.

We certainly hope you will enjoy your round at Burlington. It will be our pleasure to serve you.
