Course Policies
Weather Delay and Rain Check Policy
Rain checks are issued for extreme inclement weather that includes, but is not limited to, storms and lightning. Rain checks are issued based on your position of play at the point of interruption. Prior to receiving a rain check, guests must present their starter's receipt to the Pro Shop.
If 4 or less holes are completed: 18-hole rain check will be issued.
If 5 - 12 holes are completed: 9-hole rain check will be issued.
If 13+ holes are completed: No rain check will be issued.
The NMU Golf Course is built on a sand depository and as a rule we can handle 1" of precipitation without affecting play. In the event that the course is deemed unplayable by our professional staff, rain checks will be issued.Rain checks issued prior to September 1 must be used within the calendar year. Rain checks issued after September 1 must be used before June 30 of the following year.
Lightning Policy
NMU Golf Course sounds an air horn when lightning is detected. When the alarm sounds, all golfers are to immediately exit off the course until the lightning is at a safe distance away. The golf shop staff will issue an "all clear" notice when it is safe to resume play. Rain checks will only be issued for extended delays or for extreme weather. Golf course staff will assure the course is safe to allow players to resume play.
