2008 Permanent Starting Time – Official Rules

Permanent Starting Times for weekend mornings on the 18 hole course (April 12 - August 31) are assigned by a lottery held March 5, 2008.

KEEP PACE POLICY - Foursomes who do not Keep Pace a minimum of 2/3 of their Permanent Time rounds, will lose their Permanent Time for the remainder of the year.

To Keep Pace:
Play in under 4 hours (3:50 for the first 6 groups) or finish the 18th hole within 9 minutes of the group ahead.

PERMANENT RESERVED WEEKEND STARTING TIMES begin on Saturday, April 12 and continue through Sunday, August 31. The starting times available on these days are 5:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon on the 18-hole course. In addition, ten Back Nine Combo times will be available each day. These times will tee off 5:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., playing the Back 9 of the 18-Hole Course followed by the 9-Hole Course. PRE-EMPTIONS: Permanent Times will be pre-empted on Saturday June 13 ("Have One On Us") and Sunday, August 10 (Glen Ellyn Open).

APPLICATIONS for Permanent Times close at 5:00 p.m. Sunday March 2, 2008. An application will not be accepted unless payment for all necessary Reservation Fees, Multi-Play Rounds, Green Fees and Resident Registration Fees have been made in person at the Village Links Clubhouse, 485 Winchell Way, Glen Ellyn, Illinois.

DRAWING - There will be a draw by lot for Permanent Times at the Glen Ellyn Civic Center, 535 Duane Street, on Wednesday, March 5, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. Starting times for both Saturday and Sunday will be made available simultaneously. Foursomes of all residents will draw first, groups with 3 residents will draw second and so on. One spokesman for each group should be present at the drawing to select a time.

FOURSOME REQUIREMENT - A complete foursome is required to obtain a Permanent Time. The Village Links maintains a list of singles, twosomes and threesomes looking to form a foursome and enter the Permanent Time drawing.

INDIVIDUAL ELIGIBILITY - An individual is limited to a single entry into the Permanent Time drawing. No individual may hold more than one Permanent Starting Time. Holding a Permanent Time on both Saturday and Sunday is prohibited. Any individual or group who does not comply with this rule will be dropped from the Permanent Times.

GUARANTEE - Each foursome guarantees 4 18-hole players each week, unless the entire group reservation is cancelled at least 36 hours in advance. For each player missing from a foursome, the group is required to purchase a $42.00 green fee before teeing off. If this fee is not paid before teeing off, the time will be forfeited.

REFUNDS - If a satisfactory time is not drawn, notify us by March 7, 2008 at 5:00 p.m. and a full refund will be made on Reservation Fees, Multi-Play Rounds and Pre-Payments. No Permanent Time may be retained by a foursome if a member of that foursome receives a refund.

NON-PERMANENT TIMES - Forfeited, cancelled or un-drawn Permanent Times and all other Saturday, Sunday and Holiday reservations, including those on the 9-hole course, will be available on a week to week basis.

PAYMENT OPTIONS - Each individual entering the drawing must pay a Permanent Time Reservation Fee of $25. In addition, each individual must pre-pay 12 green fees or purchase a Multi-Play Ticket package of 20 or more rounds. Payment must be made in person.
