Courses do not close due to lightning, nor
will our staff ask you to leave the course.
Although we do recommend you leave
the course if you witness lightning, if you
choose to continue, please PROCEED AT
YOUR OWN RISK. Rain checks will be
distributed if applicable.

Smart golf course operators will not ask you to leave the golf course during a storm. They may sound a "clear the course" siren, and they would instruct you beforehand what the siren means. Anything more than that they are acknowledging responsibility for your safety.
