Winter Activities on the Golf Courses

(As adopted by the IVGID Board of Trustees on October 11, 2006)

The Winter Access policy for the golf courses:

a. Allows snow activities (sledding, snowshoeing, cross country skiing) anywhere on the Mountain Golf Course with the exception of the roped off areas (greens).
b. Allows snow activities (sledding, snowshoeing, cross country skiing) on the driving range at the Championship Golf Course.
c. Allows cross country skiing and snowshoeing on the cart paths of Championship Golf Course holes 1 and 2. Paths on these holes will be roped off and users must stay on the path and only on these holes. (No dogs; bikes or other modes of transportation)

In-Season Access

As a reminder, the current policy limits access to golfers with a tee time. During the golf season, safety is a major concern. There are golfers, maintenance vehicles and plant protectant materials on the golf course at any given time.

Pre and Post season access

Maintenance vehicles will still be on the course and users must stay aware of their surroundings. The policy:
a. Allows walking on the cart paths of the golf courses before the courses open in the spring and after they close for the season in the fall.
b. Restricts dogs, bikes or other modes of transportation from the courses at all times.

Golf staff has the right to stop any activity at any time if it is deemed to be detrimental to the courses (low snow levels, dangerous activities, etc.). Violators will be given a verbal warning and a card explaining the policy. Repeat offenders will have their recreation privileges revoked, or the privileges of the people they are renting from.

This new policy will replace the existing policy previously adopted on December 14, 2005. Letters will be sent to homeowners and property managers on the golf courses and ads will be placed in the North Lake Tahoe Bonanza a few times throughout the season to explain the new policy. Signs will be placed at the driving range stating all activity is at your own risk.
