The Bay Club Company and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities (collectively, “TBCC,” the “Bay Club” or the “Company”) have adopted guidelines, procedures, rules and regulations (“guidelines”) designed to provide for the safe, enjoyable and healthy use of our clubs and premises and events by you, our members and guests.

These guidelines apply to your conduct on the Bay Club’s premises, which includes your access to our clubs, sports amenities (including golf, tennis, squash, racquetball and basketball), all outdoor areas, including parking lots, sidewalks, and outdoor pools, and indoor and outdoor children’s play areas (collectively, “premises”) or any use of the Bay Club’s online, mobile, or interactive offerings or websites. They also apply to your conduct during its programs, training, events or other Bay Club-sponsored activities off the premises (“events”).

These guidelines supplement those posted or otherwise provided in our clubs, on our web or mobile sites, or at our events. We may adopt guidelines applicable to a single club. In some instances, governmental laws may establish different requirements applicable to certain clubs that may not be outlined here. To the extent of a conflict with other guidelines, the more restrictive guideline applies.

If you violate any of these guidelines, your membership or club access may be suspended or terminated. Members are responsible for their actions and the actions of their family and guests when at the Club. Should damage arise—whether property or personal injury—you are liable for all resultant costs. Our decision on all questions regarding construction or interpretation of these guidelines is final. Please note that not all rules may apply at all clubs if a specific department is not onsite.

We may change these guidelines at any time without notice at our sole discretion. You may find the most current version of these guidelines at www.bayclubs.com/membershipguidelines. As a member or guest of the Bay Club, you are responsible to review and comply with these guidelines at all times. For questions, please contact a Membership Director or a General Manager.

Bay Club Membership Benefits and Lifestyle Points are awarded at the discretion of The Bay Club Company (TBCC). Certain memberships have special membership arrangements, which entitle participating members to use and enjoy the facilities of reciprocal clubs in accordance with those clubs’ Rules and Regulations. The member agrees to abide by such Rules and Regulations, as they exist or may change from time to time. Further, the Club may change the reciprocal clubs from time to time. The Member expressly agrees that all use of the club facilities, exercise equipment, exercise machines, courts and any transportation provided by the Club is undertaken by the member or member’s guest at his/her sole risk.

Fitness

Indoor & Outdoor Fitness

The Club reserves the right to deny the use of the Fitness Center to anyone not willing or able to properly and safely use fitness equipment. Shirts and closed-toe shoes are required at all times. As a courtesy to others, please return mats and weights to their designated areas, place trash and towels in the appropriate receptacles, and limit your cardio workout to 30 minutes when others are waiting for a machine. Additionally, we ask that you allow others to work in when using strength training equipment.

Children’s Use of Fitness

Children under the age of 12 are not allowed to use the Fitness equipment unless they are working with one of the Club’s trainers. Members ages 12–13 are allowed to use the Fitness equipment if they are under direct adult supervision and have taken our Teen Training Safety Course. Direct supervision means the parent is watching the teen at all times; the teen and adult may take turns doing sets but may not do sets concurrently. The adult must know weightlifting techniques and the operation of fitness equipment well enough to prevent injury to the teen. Members ages 14–17 are allowed to use the Fitness equipment without supervision if they have completed a Teen Training Safety Course.

Fitness Attire

Proper attire is required for anyone using the Club. Appropriate footwear and shirts are required in all public indoor and outdoor recreational areas, including closed-toe shoes in fitness areas and non-marking shoes on all hardwood exercise floors and courts. For tennis, squash, golf course, and clubhouse-specific guidelines, please see respective department.

Group Exercise and Cycling Studio Etiquette

Children under the age of 12 are not allowed to use the Fitness equipment without supervision unless certified. New students should arrive to class ten minutes early to discuss any injuries or special concerns with the instructor prior to the start of class. We ask that you follow the instructor’s routine, as classes are a group activity. Specific guidelines are posted at the entrance of each studio. Please follow these guidelines carefully for the safety and enjoyment of all members. Additionally, we ask that you keep conversation to a minimum, wipe down the equipment after class, and return it to its designated storage space. We ask that members and guests arrive on time to all classes. Entering a class late is disruptive and strongly discouraged.

Mind-Body Studio Etiquette

These areas are designed to be tranquil environments. And as such, we ask that you keep your voice low and refrain from performing other high-impact fitness activities in and around these areas. The yoga rooms are available for private practice when classes are not in session. However, if an instructor needs the room for a private lesson, you will be required to change rooms. The Pilates allegro reformers are available to members who have undergone sufficient Pilates instruction, when classes are not in session. However, we ask that you do not move the equipment from its designated spot and that you respect the equipment and the space. The Pilates and Gyrotonic® equipment in Private Studios are not available for use, unless with an instructor. We ask that everyone be on time to all classes, as entering late is disruptive and strongly discouraged. – update this to match the in-club signage.

Aquatics

General Information

Showers must be taken before entering any of our pools. Outdoor showers are available at all outdoor pool locations. Lifeguards are on duty on a seasonal basis. When all lanes are occupied, please be respectful of others by sharing lanes and limiting your swim to 30 minutes.

Pool Area
All children under the age of 14 must be directly supervised by an adult at all times (please see Children’s Guideline section). For the safety and enjoyment of all members, please follow all other rules and regulations posted and ensure that your choice of swimwear is appropriate for all members.

Swim Test Protocol
All children ages 13 and younger are required to take a test where they must swim unassisted for 1 lap in a 25-yard pool without wearing googles and tread water for 60 seconds. Once they pass, they’ll receive a wristband that they must wear in and around the pool, indicating that they are water safe. (Though we still ask that children are supervised at all times). If a child is not water safe, the parent/ guardian must be in the pool with the child, within “arm’s reach” at all times. This protocol is active Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Triple-Up Guideline
As a matter of law, a pool must be shut down up to 24 hours (depending on pool size) if a child has had an accident in the water. Therefore, while using any club pool or water feature, all non potty-trained swimmers must wear three layers: A swim diaper, reusable plastic pants (tight fitting around the legs), plus a swimsuit. Please make sure children use the restroom before they swim, and encourage them to take a restroom break at least every hour.

Children’s Pool Breaks (Adults-Only Swim)
During busy times, lifeguards may, at their discretion, call a 10-minute Children’s Pool Break to give kids a chance to rest and take some time away from the water and sun. This is also a time to re-apply sunscreen, hydrate, and use the restroom. During a Children’s Pool Break, no one under the age of 16 is permitted in any of our pools.

Lifeguards

Although parents are always responsible for supervising their children, lifeguards are staffed during our peak Summer season for the safety and service of our members. Lifeguards may enforce rules that are posted/listed or not, as situations warrant. We ask all parents and members to follow all rules, whether posted or not, to ensure a positive experience for all. Toys and swim equipment will be restricted at the discretion of the lifeguard based on safety concerns. Squirt guns are limited to what is available in The Shop; hard balls (e.g., tennis balls) and Frisbees are not allowed in and around the pools. Please contact your club for specific lifeguard hours.

Swim Team

Swim Teams are offered at several locations year-round and are open for children ages 5–18. Please note all children who participate on one of our Bay Club swim teams must be listed on a family membership . Complimentary water aerobics programs are listed on our group exercise schedule and offer a fun, cardiovascular and strength-training workout in the comfort of the water.

Racquet Sports

Court Etiquette
All members and their guest(s) are asked to follow our Court Etiquette guidelines to assure a pleasant experience for all:

– Please wait for the completion of the point before entering and allow players to finish a game; if entering players are late for their court, the game in progress should stop. In tennis, while the next group of players is waiting during final game, no-ad scoring should be used. Squash players should always knock prior to entering.

– Verbal and racquet abuse are not tolerated.

– In consideration of those on the adjacent court(s), keep noise to a reasonable level.

– If your ball rolls onto the adjacent court, do not run onto that court to retrieve your ball. Ask politely for the ball to be returned (e.g., “Court 4, the ball behind you. Thanks!”). If a ball rolls onto your court, wait for the completion of the point on the adjacent court before sending the ball back.

– Please refrain from bringing any liquids onto the squash courts.

– Always leave the tennis court presentable for the next member by removing all towels and trash.

Tennis and Squash Attire

Appropriate sports attire must be worn at all times. Swimsuits and bare feet are not allowed on the courts. Non-marking regulation tennis or squash shoes are required on all courts. Protective eyewear for squash is required for all players 18 years of age or younger and is highly recommended for all others.

Court Reservations

Each member is responsible to book his or her own court reservations and may make only one reservation at a time. Reservations must include a minimum of two names for both singles and doubles bookings (tennis only). Back-to-back reservations are not permitted and playing partners cannot reserve courts consecutively. Further, a court reservation cannot be transferred to another member.

A member may make one court reservation per day. Couple or Family memberships may make up to two reservations per day. Once the reservation time has passed, the member can make additional same-day bookings, based on court availability.

Golf

Golf is a sport in which etiquette and consideration of others are of paramount importance. In that respect, the following Golf guidelines have been thoughtfully compiled and set in place to ensure an exceptional experience for all Bay Club golf courses.

General Etiquette
Proper etiquette for all golfers begins upon arrival at the Club and continues through the round and until the golfer leaves the property. The following are our general etiquette guidelines:

– All members and guests must check in with the golf shop team prior to setting out on the course.

– Each of our clubs provides locker rooms for changing in and out of golf attire and shoes. With this in mind, the changing of shoes or clothes is prohibited anywhere other than in the locker rooms.

– Golf is a game of concentration. Consequently, all those on or near the course and practice areas should have their cell phone ringers turned off. We also ask that in consideration for those relaxing in the Clubhouse, that you take and make all calls outside, in areas that do not interfere with play. Those expecting calls should set their phones to either an inaudible alarm or vibration mode.

– To ensure the proper pace of play, every golfer must have his or her own set of clubs; sharing a set is not permitted. If you are in need of a set of clubs, please speak to a golf shop associate regarding rentals.

– Music in golf carts is permitted providing it is kept at a volume to not disturb others in the group.

Golf & Country Club Attire
All members and guests must wear appropriate attire while at the Club to ensure a pleasant environment for all. Please familiarize yourself with the following guidelines and adhere to them at all times:

– Clubhouse, 77 Social Club, and Dining Room: Golf, tennis, and business casual attire with slacks and an appropriate shirt are allowed. Tasteful denim is permitted, including jeans and skirts, but must not have any rips, tears or holes. No cutoffs are permitted on property.

Shorts are permitted all day in our Clubhouses and 77 Social Clubs, and until 5:00 pm in our Dining Rooms. Please note that from time to time, the Club may host specific events that may require more formal attire.

– Golf Course and Practice Facilities: We take pride in maintaining our courses to the highest standards. This pride should reflect itself in our attire when we play on our courses. All members, including juniors, must follow the dress code while on the golf course and all practice facilities. Members must inform their guests of the dress code in advance.

– All Golfers: Denim jeans, athletic shorts, non-golf fitness attire and sweat clothes are not allowed on the golf course. Only golf shoes with soft spikes or sneakers are permitted.

If a reminder of the dress code is needed, we expect members to please be courteous to club associates. We understand that golf fashion is ever-evolving and—while remaining in keeping with TBCC’s understanding of a proper club environment—we may change standards accordingly. Note that some additional rules may apply at specific clubs. Please check with the Club’s Hospitality Desk for additional details.

Course Care

Proper etiquette for all golfers begins upon arrival at the Club and continues through the round and until the golfer leaves the property. The following are our general etiquette guidelines:

– All members and guests must check in at the pro shop prior to setting out on the course.

– Each of our clubs provides locker rooms for changing in and out of golf attire and shoes. With this in mind, the changing of shoes or clothes is prohibited anywhere other than in the locker rooms.

– Golf is a game of concentration. Consequently, all those on or near the course and practice areas should have their cell phone ringers turned off. We also ask that in consideration for those relaxing in the Clubhouse, that you take and make all calls outside, in areas that do not interfere with play. Those expecting calls should set their phones to either an inaudible alarm or vibration mode.

– Upon completion of a shot, divots shall be replaced or fix with provided sand and ball marks on greens repaired.

Riding Carts
When utilizing golf carts, all members and guests agree to exercise good judgment and reasonable care in the operation of the vehicle, and to abide by the following:

– Carts are for use by players on the golf course only. Any other use must be approved by the management team.

– Carts may only be driven onto the grass when and where allowed.

– Carts are never to be driven onto the course past restraining ropes. Carts should not be driven closer than 50 yards of the green.

– Carts are to be kept on cart paths as much as possible consistent with efficient play.

– Carts must stay on cart paths around tees and greens. Whenever carts are allowed off paths, we ask that you scatter the carts about the hole (fairway or rough) and return to path when prompted to do so.

– Carts must follow arrows and cart signs, particularly in front of or around the greens and on fairways.

– There are times when valid handicap flags allow modification of the above rules.

– Anyone driving a cart must have a valid driver’s license.

– A maximum of two carts will be assigned per foursome.

Members are responsible for any and all damage caused by the use of a cart by the member or member’s guests, and members must return the cart to the golf shop in the same condition as when received. It is expressly understood that the Bay Club will not be liable for damages of any kind, whether to the person and/or property, or other loss, arising from the use of, operation of, from whatever cause, related to the use and operation of the cart by members and their guests. Members agree to pay for or reimburse the Bay Club for, on return of the cart, all charges incidental to all breakages or damage, other than ordinary wear, from such member’s and their guest’s use of carts. Please report all cart damage to the golf shop associate.

Push Cart
Pushcarts are permitted; however, all cart directional signs must be followed and carts must be kept 10 feet from all greens. Personal pushcarts are permitted; overnight storage policies vary by Club.

Pace of Play
Golf is more fun when played without delay. It is the responsibility of each member and guest to play his or her round in a fast and orderly manner. Please keep the following guidelines in mind to ensure a timely round:

– The target time for completion of 18 holes is four hours. Restrictions will be placed on persistently slow players. Golf shop staff will administer the pace of play at four hours or less and/or keeping up with the group ahead of you. If there is an open hole in front of your group and a faster group is behind you, you must either close the gap or let the group play through. If a group remains out of position, the golf shop staff has the authority to pull the group aside and let faster players go through; move the group to the correct position on the golf course; or pull the group off the golf course and assign the group a later tee time.

– During primetime hours, we strongly suggest that all groups on par 3s invite the next group waiting on the previous tee to hit their tee shots onto the green. Once they have hit their tee shots, the group on the green should proceed with putting out.

Multiple violations of these rules will subject a Member to loss of the opportunity to make any tee times for a period of time established by the Club.

Length of Play
Reservations can be made for 9 and 18 holes; however, full green fees apply to both.

Inclement Weather Cancellation Guideline
During inclement weather conditions, the Course Superintendent or Director of Golf will determine if and when the course will be closed and cancellation fees will be waived (note Golf Cancellation and No-Show Guideline below). Inclement weather may not dictate the closing of the course and in that case refunds will not be issued.

Rain Check Guideline
Should your group wish to stop play due to inclement weather, paid players receive a rain check provided they have not played more than nine holes. No rainchecks will be issued once your group has teed off on the back nine of the course played. Rain checks may be redeemed within six months of your original tee time. Non-members may only use their rain check voucher while playing with a member.

Golf Replay Guideline
Members may replay the course based on availability. Please check with the golf shop after you have completed your round to book a replay. The replay green fee is $50; discounts apply, depending on membership category.

Driving Range

– All members with a tee time will receive an appropriate warm-up period on the driving range. We do ask that you limit this time to 30 minutes when others are waiting. Guests are welcome to use the driving range only when they are with a member who has a tee time scheduled for that day. Members within our Club West Collection will receive permanent color-coded bag tags designating membership level. Guests will receive dated single-use bag tags with the same color designation as their host, so that they will receive corresponding benefits. All members and guests must attach their bag tags to their bags and ensure that they are clearly displayed at all times.

– There will be designated zones for each membership level within the Club West Collection. The teaching area, however, will be open to all levels.

– Range balls are club property. They are not to be taken from the range or practice areas, or used on the golf course. Penalty fees will apply. Access to the practice facilities may be restricted for those found to violate this rule.

– In an effort to repair and restore the range tee, please fill your divots and practice area with sand/seed mix where applicable.

– No practice is allowed on non-maintained areas.

– No pets are allowed on the practice area.

– Please practice safety while on the range: Be aware of those around you and any maintenance associate on the range. Maintain a safe distance from others swinging golf clubs, do not walk in front of the hitting line, do not pick up balls past the hitting line, avoid hitting over the end of the range, and hit away from any range associate picking up golf balls. Boundaries at each range differ and must be followed; otherwise, a suspension of privileges may result.

– If a child has been sick, he/she should remain home until he/she can fully participate in childcare activities. A 48-hour period is required for your child to stay at home after a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea has subsided without the aid of medication.

– If your child or any member of your household tests positive for COVID-19, or was exposed to anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 we ask that you stay home and contact your home club to notify them immediately.

– If a child has any type of discharge from their eyes or nose for any reason, he/she is required to stay home until these have subsided.

– Please notify the Children’s Center of any contagious conditions contracted by your child (e.g., lice, chicken pox).

The Children’s Center will not administer any medications or apply topical ointments to diaper rashes, although parents are welcome to come during the reservation time and do so.

Parents will be notified if their child becomes ill or if they show any of the above symptoms. The staff will use their best judgment when requesting that your child be removed from Children’s Center. If the staff notifies you, we ask that you please pick up your child immediately.

Bay Club Camps Registration and Cancellation Guidelines

If you need to reschedule your Camp booking to a different session, your request will be considered and approved based on the current capacity of the requested sessions. Reschedule requests are guaranteed only when confirmed by the camp director.
