Q: What tees do Association Members play?
Men play from the Blue Tees each week unless a specific game states otherwise. Senior Men play from the White Tees. Super Seniors over age 75 may choose any tee, including the Red Tees.

Q: Am I required to play every week?
No. You can play as few or as many events as you like. The more you play, the more participation points you earn for year-end Cup standings and raffle entries.

Q: Are there weekly fees due?
Yes, but only if you participate in the weekly game. You’ll pay the game fee and optionally the side bet fee. Green fees are also required to play. Many members buy discounted punch passes if they plan to play 20 or more events.

Q: Do I have to play with another member when I compete?
Yes. You must play with another current member who can sign and attest your scorecard.

Q: How does the referral fee program work?
If a current or new member refers a first-time player to the association, they’ll receive a referral gift card. The referred member must be completely new, with no prior participation in past seasons.

Q: Do I need a UGA (Utah Golf Association) membership or a USGA Handicap Index to play?
No. We track in-house handicaps. If you have an existing index, we can use it as a starting point. Otherwise, you’ll need to submit a couple rounds first to establish your in-house handicap.

Q: How do points work?
You accumulate points throughout the season by playing in Association-sponsored events. Everyone earns participation points weekly, with additional points based on placement and event participation. Some bonus events require a minimum point total to enter. Points can also be used for raffle tickets and year-end prizes.

Q: Do I have to play in the 18-hole Saturday Events?
No. Like the weekly events, they’re optional. However, they do offer additional opportunities to earn participation points.

Q: What days and times do Association Members play?
Men may play anytime on Wednesdays or Thursdays. Senior Men may play Mondays or Tuesdays. Occasionally, holidays or weather delays may shift play days. Monthly 18-hole tournaments are played on Saturdays.

Q: If I miss a social event or member appreciation giveaway, can I get reimbursed?
Unfortunately, no. These events are considered “use it or lose it” bonuses. We understand not everyone can attend every event, so we schedule multiple opportunities throughout the season.

Q: Do I need to have a team member?
No. Most events are individually scored. Occasionally, we host scrambles where members pair up. If you don’t have a partner, we can help match you with someone. You must always play with at least one other registered member, and your scorecard must be attested by another association member.

Q: Is there a junior league at Crane Field?
Not currently. We don’t have a weekly junior competitive league like the men’s. However, we do run a Junior Summer Academy with weekly classes and a final tournament. The Association is for adults 18 and older.

Q: Can you give me more details about establishing an in-house handicap?
If you have a UGA handicap, we can use it to immediately create a house handicap. If not, you’ll need to submit two 18-hole rounds (or two 9-hole scores from each side). It’s easy—we take care of entering your scores weekly to keep your index updated. Your handicap will then be used for Low Net scoring and flight placement.

Q: Is there a schedule of events available?
Yes. The president prepares a seasonal schedule that’s posted in the clubhouse, online, and available in printed form. Be sure to review the calendar carefully. If you didn’t receive the email version, a printed copy is available at the clubhouse.  Link to Event Calendar
