CORKAGE POLICY
by Jonathan Wilhelm, Managing Partner

As a friendly reminder, our corkage fee of $20 per 750ml bottle applies only to wine that was purchased outside the Club and brought in for consumption at the Club. The corkage fee is waived on all wine purchased through the Club. This includes wines purchased through our retail program, wine offers, special purchases, or from the wine list. Prior to shipment or placement in your wine locker, a Mayacama sticker is applied to each bottle as a way to identify it as purchased through the Club so you won't be charged the corkage fee.

NO SMOKING PLEASE!
by Greg Brown, General Manager

With rising temperatures, we have again entered high fire danger season so we are enforcing our no smoking on the golf course policy. Our Membership Agreement states "smoking is not permitted anywhere on the Mayacama property except in the designated smoking areas. Designated smoking areas are restricted to the private Women's Locker Room Terrace and the Library Terrace off the Men's Locker Room. Smoking is not permitted anywhere on or near the Golf Course or Practice Facility." During high fire danger season, this is a zero tolerance policy so as to protect the environment, club assets, personal property, and the homes on campus. We have asked our caddies and employees to assist in enforcing this policy. Violations to this important rule will result in Member suspension. Thank you for your cooperation.
