I believe they are closed if there is frost, especially on the greens. If you have a morning tee time and there is frost, you lose that tee time, they just continue with the schedule as is starting with the first time after the frost has melted. They don't push everyone back because the late tee times would run into darkness

Frost on the greens delayed play earlier this week.

Delayed? Or cancelled those tee times? If not crowded I'll bet they try to work those times back in

Weather Delays on the Executive Golf Trail

Unfortunately we are not able to recover tee times lost due to weather delays such as fog, rain, or frost. However, we do make every effort to get golfers on the course (where possible) when conditions permit. In the case of a frost delay, we will begin tee times at the time when the frost delay is lifted.

Frost Delays
In the event of frost, the golf course will be closed
until such time that play will not injure the grass
as determined by the golf course superintendent.
All tee times prior to the opening time
will be forfeited.
The golf course staff will make every effort to
accommodate all players in an effort that will not
cause later tee times to be affected.
This may not be possible in all instances.
If your tee time is cancelled and you are unable to
be accommodated or forward started, you will not
be assessed a reservation point.

striveforhealth: The information you are receiving as to frost delays is correct as to a response frost, possibly fog will delay play until either has passed.

However as to your question are they closed because of cold requires a different response. If it is deemed by golf admin to be too cold to play, a marquee message appears on the tee time computer reservation system, on VNN or 640 AM radio station announcing it is a one point day meaning a gofer can cancel play and receive only one point the announcement usually appears on or about 7:00 AM of the morning of play.

As an example, today the The Tee Time System had a marquee message stating that reservations could be cancelled due to inclement weather. On Executive courses, no cancellation points were charged to each golfer, and only one reservation point.

I think the Championships will move everyone delayed in the 1st wave up to the hole they are supposed to be on at the time the frost delay ends and those delayed and moved are given 9 hole rainchecks.

Where is this raincheck policy written?

I don't know if the CCs do this or not. I do think it sounds like a nightmare in the making. I would be interested in hearing from Country Club staff about this.

I don't know the rain check policy but have never been refused one for any reason -- not that I abuse the privilege. During a cold snap last January, my foursome had had enough after four holes. No problem. Got a rain check for all 18. Another time, my back went out after a few holes. I asked for a "pain check" and again got a credit for 18 holes. I've always found the clubs to be quite accommodating.

Cold weather can put kcrazy people in a bad mood.
