MEMBER ACCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS
All green fees are collected by VIP Golf. Your account will be charged for the preferred rate at the time of play. You will not be required to pay for green fees in the pro shop unless otherwise specified or you have not followed proper booking procedures. Accounts can be settled with Visa, MasterCard or a cash account. Payments by Visa or MasterCard will be charged to your account within 24 hours of play and will show up on your credit card statement as “VIP Golf Banff”. Any charges to your statement which do not show up as “VIP Golf Banff” do not reflect charges to you from VIP Golf but rather purchases that you have made directly with the golf course in question. Payments by “cash accounts” will be deducted from your “cash account” within one(1) day of scheduled play. You may check your balance at any time by logging into your MEMBER DASHBOARD under MY PROFILE. Cash accounts must have at least an equal or greater value than the preferred green fee that will be charged to your account at the time of booking.

OVERDUE ACCOUNTS
Any overdue accounts will be deactivated until the balance is cleared. If for some reason the credit card on file is declined for a transaction, you will receive instant notification via email. Please call us to update or clear your balance so we may reactivate your account. VIP Golf will not know the reason for any declined transaction; this is only relayed information from your carrier. Accounts going into negative balances 3 times or more during the season will require payment in advance for any bookings made. Accounts with outstanding balances for over 30 days or beyond October 15th will be subject to a non-refunadable late payment fee equal to 25% of the total amount owed. Accounts that remain in arrears for more than 60 days or pass the November 1st deadline, will be forwarded to a third party collections agency. To meet the agency’s minimum requirements of $50.00 or more, balances falling below this threshold will be subject to an additional penalty.

BOOKING VIP GOLF GREEN FEES
It is mandatory that you go online or call VIP Golf to book your Green Fee before checking in for a tee time at the golf course. If you fail to perform this step the golf course will not have authorization from us and you will be asked to pay for a regular rate green fee when checking in. Green Fee reservations with VIP Golf are not accepted via voicemail, email or text message, they must be called in or booked online. It is also advisable to book your Green Fee with VIP Golf before you book your tee time with the golf course as stated in our booking procedures.

BOOKING A GREEN FEE WITH VIP GOLF DOES NOT GUARANTEE TEE TIME
Booking a Green Fee with VIP Golf does not guarantee an actual tee time at the golf course. Booking a Green Fee simply gives you the benefit of the Membership at the course in question on the specific day that it has been booked. Tee times must be made directly with the golf course. VIP Golf Green Fees give you the authority from VIP Golf to your Membership on the day and course in question, provided you are in compliance with any booking guidelines that may be applicable to that specific booking. Once a Green Fee is reserved, you are scheduled to be billed and will be billed if proper cancellation procedures have not been followed. If you receive a complimentary round from the golf course, if your round is being purchased by an outside source, if the course is offering discounted rates due to course factors and/or Early Bird/Twilight Rates, you must contact VIP Golf Administration before you tee off to request a cancellation of your Green Fee reservation. This cancellation request may be denied by VIP Golf Administration if the Green Fee occupied cannot be filled by other Members. Green Fee reservations with VIP Golf are not accepted via voicemail, email or text message, they must be called in or booked online.

ONLINE BOOKINGS / BOOKING FOR FRIENDS
Any Member booking with VIP Golf though our online booking program will be responsible for any bookings for themselves and any other Members they choose to book for. If you make the booking for yourself and/or other VIP Golf Member(s), you will be responsible for this booking in the case of any discrepancy brought forward by any other Member who you have booked for. This includes being responsible for no shows, booking the wrong golf course, booking the wrong date, double bookings, cancellations and Green Fee reservations with VIP Golf. If a discrepancy is brought forward, the Member who has made the booking(s) shall be responsible for the amount of the booking in question and will be charged accordingly. It is the Member’s responsibility to make sure the booking has gone through correctly and is booked for the right course and date, which is displayed at all times on the Members dashboard in the online booking calendar profile.

BOOKING TEE TIMES WITH A GOLF COURSE
You are booking tee times directly with the golf courses as a public player. Normal booking rules will apply to all Members. This includes leaving a credit card with the course at time of booking to secure your tee time if they require one. If you refuse to follow the golf courses policies on publicly booked tee times you may be denied a tee time from the course when booking. VIP Golf Preferred Green Fees may not be used for any tournament play/group bookings or combined with any other coupon or discount product. If the golf course deems this to be the case, it is within their discretion to not accept your green fee and require full payment of a regular green fee at check in.

TEE TIMES DO NOT GUARANTEE GREEN FEE RESERVATION
If you have booked a tee time or are joining a group with a tee time booked already, this does not guarantee you a Green Fee with VIP Golf at that course on the day in question. VIP Golf is separate from the courses and allocates so many players per day at each course, you can view how many “slots” are available at any time online when logged in. Once our limit is reached the course will be closed for the day in question, unless a cancellation is made in which case the course “slots” will open up again. It is advisable to go online or call VIP Golf first before making a time to see what remains at each course on the day in question.

BOOKING TEE TIMES WITHIN ALLOWED PARAMETERS
Some golf courses have a maximum amount of days in which VIP Golf Members may book tee times. This applies to all bookings made by VIP Golf Members or non-Members. If you have a tee time that has been booked with a course or you are joining a tee times that has been booked outside of the allowed advanced booking days, you will be required to pay full rate at check in by the golf course. You will also incur a charge from VIP Golf for the  Green Fee occupied by your Membership. All these policies are clearly stated on this website and inside the online booking program, which will require you to check a disclaimer of this policy at the time of booking. Continued violations of this policy will result in immediate termination of Membership with no refund.

NO-SHOW FOR BOOKINGS
If you make a Tee Time with a golf course along with a VIP Golf Green Fee and fail to show up without prior notification, you may be charged by both the golf course and VIP Golf  for the booking in question. In this case you have two separate bookings with two companies. You would be holding a Green Fee with VIP Golf that could be sold to other Members and you would be occupying a Tee Time at the golf course which may be sold by them to other patrons. If you NO-SHOW for a Tee Time you have made as a VIP Golf Member in the golf course’s system, the course may charge us at VIP Golf for the NO-SHOW. In this case VIP Golf will charge the Member’s account in question for the amount of the NO-SHOW charge. This charge may be applicable to the entire group booking, and the Member who made the booking with the golf course & VIP Golf will be held accountable if any discrepancy is brought forward.

GREEN FEE CANCELLATION POLICY
Unless otherwise specified at time of booking or on your confirmation from VIP Golf, Green Fee cancellations must be made no later than 5:00pm one(1) day prior to the booking. For example: To cancel a Thursday reservation one MUST phone or cancel online with VIP Golf before 5:00pm Wednesday evening. Any cancellation made after 5:00pm the day prior to the booking will be considered a Late Cancellation.  Late Cancellations are subject to a minimum 50% Late Cancellation Fee. The cancellation will be forwarded to VIP Golf Administration for review and may be subject to a charge of the remaining 50% of the VIP Preferred Green Fee. Cancellations with VIP Golf are not accepted via voicemail, email or text message, they must be called in, cancelled online or cancelled as instructed in your email confirmation.

Cancelling a Green Fee with VIP Golf does not cancel your tee time at the golf course. Both the course and VIP Golf must be contacted to cancel the tee time and Green Fee in question as VIP Golf does not handle the booking or cancellations of any actual tee times. To avoid any inadvertent charges, check your email for the cancellation confirmation email that will automatically be sent to the email address you have provided.  Cancelling your tee time with the golf course does not cancel your reservation with VIP Golf.  If you fail to cancel your VIP Golf reservation with us you will be billed regardless if you played or not, in this case, you would be holding one of our spots that could be used by other members.

CUSTOM GREEN FEE CANCELLATION POLICY
A VIP Golf Green Fee reservation at select courses or events may have a custom cancellation policy that differs from the default cancellation policy stated above.  Reservations with custom cancellation policies will be shown as a disclaimer upon booking  with VIP Golf online or through our booking app.  This custom policy will also be provided in your booking confirmation from VIP Golf. It is the members responsibility to know this policy and abide by it accordingly. Cancellation requested inside of these policies may be billed out for the green fee booked.

CANCELLING TEE TIME WITH COURSES
Tee time cancellations with golf courses are separate from Green Fee cancellations with VIP Golf.  Cancellation of your VIP Golf Green Fee does not cancel the tee time made directly with the course unless otherwise specified.  Tee time cancellations with golf courses will fall under the course’s policies which you are responsible to know. Any charges incurred from golf courses for unused booked tee times are not the responsibility of VIP Golf as they are a separate entity and VIP Golf has no authority over golf course tee times.

WEATHER RELATED CANCELLATIONS
VIP Golf accepts cancellations for weather conditions based on the golf course in question. Cancellations will be accepted if the golf course is accepting them. If the golf course is not accepting cancellations due to weather at the time requested, the VIP Green fee will be charged to the Member’s account. All and any weather related cancellations must be requested BEFORE YOU TEE OFF. Once you have teed off your first hole, the entire round is considered to have been played and the Member’s account will be charged for the VIP green fee. If the golf course is closed due to weather or for any reason, your request will get approved. To avoid any accidental charges, please call us if the course is closed as we may not be aware of the closure.  This does not pertain to any Member who has already teed off.  If the course decides to close after your round is already in progress the Member’s account will be charged for the preferred rate for that course. Cancellations with VIP Golf are not accepted via voicemail, email or text message, they must be called in or cancelled online.

RAIN CHECKS
VIP Golf does not issue rain checks. Once you tee off the round is considered played. NO EXCEPTIONS.  This includes any stoppage of play after you have teed off and includes any sort of delays or closures due to weather related or other scenarios such as lightning, snow, wind, hail, sleet, standing water, slow play, bugs etc. In such cases you may check with the golf course, as some may offer a rain check, however, they are not bound by VIP Golf or any other entity to do so.  This is a policy that is strictly enforced and is the Member’s responsibility to know.

FROST DELAYS
In the event of a frost delay, the course will notify players of their modified tee time. Cancellations due to a frost delay will not be accepted if the delay does not exceed 90 minutes. A weather related cancellation request may be submitted only if a frost delay exceeds 90 minutes. It is suggested to factor in the possibility of frost delays when planning your golf round due to our Canadian weather patterns.

NO SHOWS
If you make a tee time with a golf course along with a VIP Golf Green Fee and fail to show up without prior notification, you may be charged by both the golf course and VIP Golf  for the booking in question. In this case you have two separate bookings with two companies. You would be holding a VIP Golf Green Fee that could be sold other Members and you would be occupying a tee time at the golf course which may be sold by them to other patrons.  If you NO SHOW for a tee time you have made as a VIP Golf Member in the golf course’s system, the course may charge us at VIP Golf for the NO SHOW. In this case VIP Golf will charge the Member’s account in question for the amount of the NO SHOW charge.

Your VIP Golf Green Fee is reserved just for you. A Late Cancellation or No Show leaves an opening in our daily inventory that could have been purchased by another VIP Golf Member. As such, we require the minimum notice of 5pm the day prior for any cancellation or change to your booking. Members who provide less than sufficient notice or simply forget about their booking will be charged in full as scheduled.

SAVINGS GUARANTEE
VIP Golf offers a Savings Guarantee in which we offer you a credit in the event that you do not at least break even in savings compared to what you paid for the previous season’s Membership Dues. The Membership savings are accumulated on green fees and Membership Dues for the specific year in question. Savings on green fees are calculated by our rate charged compared to the regular rack rate charged by the golf course in question. This applies to all rounds played and will not be adjusted for special price events held by any course such as a twilight round or reduced pricing due to course factors. Savings on Memberships are based on the regular full rate of the Membership for the year in question compared to the price that was paid. In the event that your savings do not at least cover the cost paid for the Membership, you must contact VIP Golf Administration (playgolf@vipgolf.ca) to apply for the Savings Guarantee credit. All Savings Guarantee applications must be submitted by May 31st and before you book any green fees through VIP Golf during your most current Membership period. If you are eligible and qualify, VIP Golf will place a golf credit on your account up to a maximum of $100.00 in which will be applied to the most current Membership period’s golf green fees. This credit will be applied to the first round(s) played until used. This Savings Guarantee is only eligible for Members who participate in the “November 15th Auto-Renewal”, if you choose not to participate in this renewal, your account will reset and this offer will not be available if you choose to renew at a later date. +Plus Memberships or Corporate accounts do not qualify for this guarantee as these are interchangeable accounts that allow different individuals to accompany the primary card holder.  Any credit accumulated from this guarantee will expire at the end of each season, is only valid for green fees of the consecutive year and may not be used for Membership Dues.

FREE TRIAL MEMBERSHIP
From time to time VIP Golf may offer a numbered day “Free Trial” or “DEMO” of the Membership. “Free Trial” or “DEMO” refers to Membership Dues only. Any individual who partakes in a trial will be required to pay the Preferred Green Fee rates for any golf played using the VIP Golf Membership during this trial period. A credit card must be supplied by the said individual for VIP Golf Member Green Fees to be charged as per regular charging policies.

The preferred green fee that you receive from VIP Golf as a Member are set by VIP Golf Inc. All rates are based on 18 holes of play unless stated otherwise. VIP Golf reserves the right to change these fees or benefits included with them at any time without notice to you by posting any changes on this web site. Preferred Green Fee rates will not be adjusted for various factors such as course conditions or time of play.  All Green Fees and Savings are calculated by our rate charged, compared to the regular prime time rack rate posted by the golf course in question. This applies to all rounds played and will not be adjusted for special price events held by any course such as a twilight round or reduced pricing due to course factors. Members preferred rates for reservations made may be billed to Members accounts at any time after the 5pm cancellation deadline one day prior to any booking or reservation held by said Member.  Final authority on any discrepancies regarding VIP Golf preferred green fee rates will lie with VIP Golf Administration.

PREFERRED GREEN FEE SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL OFFERS

The credit value will be placed on the Member’s account and will be applied to their next VIP Golf purchases until used up. Green Fee Credits are non-transferable. If a credit card refund is requested, there will be a credit card processing fee applied, which ranges from a minimum of $10.00 to a maximum of 10% of the total refund amount.

PREPAID GREEN FEE CREDIT
Any Green Fee Credit that has been applied to Member accounts may only be used toward purchases of VIP Golf Preferred Green Fees or Membership Dues.

Prepaid Cash Credits are non-transferable and non-refundable. Once credit is applied to an account it does not expire and may be used while there is a standing balance.  Former Members with a credit balance that do not renew their Membership may continue to use their credit toward green fees at VIP Golf’s partnered courses when booked by VIP Golf Administration. These former Members will be charged the regular rack rate green fee of the course in question at the time of play.
