 Practice  
Members who become oriented to the clubhouse procedures can purchase a key for a nominal fee. Then you can play and practice on the greens when there are no scheduled events or activities.  LED flood lights can be turned on at the touch of a button in the clubhouse to allow for evening play.

Don't forget to check the calendar to make sure the green is available. There may be rinks free when an event is scheduled but there is no guarantee that you can practice without checking. 

Reminder: The green is undergoing maintenance every morning from 7:00-10:00 a.m.
