Club Smoking Policy: 
- Smoking, e-cigarettes, or vaping is not permitted inside the clubhouse. 
Deck Rules:
- Smoking is not permitted on the deck during dining service. Dining service is defined by the hours of food service operations (currently Wednesday through Saturday evenings from 5:00 to 8:30pm). A table is provided for smokers at the bottom of the steps to the deck in addition to the bench at the front door.
Winter Months:
-While smoking on the deck, members and guests are asked to be respectful of diners and other patrons in the ballroom. As a result, the deck and lower level are closed for smoking during cold-weather months. This is in an effort to keep cold air from entering the ballroom.
- Cold-weather months will be defined as December through the end of March. Signs will be posted and doors will be locked as a reminder.
