Port Jefferson CC Tee Times and Reservations Policies

Credit Cards Required on File

To make a tee time through the member portal or in the pro shop, each individual member or family membership is required to have a credit card on file. Without a credit card on file, members will not be able to book a tee time through the member portal or in the pro shop.

Requirements to Tee Off

Tee times are every nine (9) minutes. The official time is the clock installed at the 1st tee. All members of the group must be present, signed in with the pro shop and ready to tee off twenty minutes before their exact tee time.

Only one tee time may be reserved for any person per day. Any players wishing to play more than one round in a day may do so at the discretion of the pro shop.

The pro shop is obliged to fill twosomes and threesomes when players are available. The pro shop may, if necessary, reschedule the starting time of a twosome in order to facilitate the flow of play on the 1st tee.
