DIRECT DEBIT REQUEST & TERMS AND CONDITIONS
MEMBER COMMITMENT:
As part of the consideration for membership, the Member hereby agrees to remain a Member
and pay the monthly dues of a Member for a period of not less than one (1) year from the date of
this Agreement. In the event a Member cancels a membership during any period, such Member
shall remain obligated to pay monthly dues until the end of the then current 12-month period.
I understand that the applicable monthly dues payment plus any additional charges will be
transferred on the fifteenth (15) day of each month. If the schedule date is not a banking day, the
debit will take place on the next banking day.
As part of the consideration for membership and having paid for membership in full, the Member
hereby agrees to remain a Member for a period of not less than one (1) year from the date of this
Agreement.
CANCELLATION/TERMINATION WITHIN MINIMUM TERM - You can cancel your membership prior to
the expiry of the Minimum Term if you become subject to medical incapacity, if you relocate to

documentation may be provided by an agent or employer certifying your relocation. In either of
these cases, if you are not on a Family membership type you may choose to transfer your
Membership Contract to someone you introduce to the club and who has not been a member of
either of the Golf Courses for a minimum period of three months. In this case, the departure fee
will be waived. If you do not choose this option, a departure fee will be charged depending on
the number of months left on the contract. Please refer below.

be payable.
If you wish to cancel for any other reason, you may do so by paying the remainder of your

contract times the number of months left on your minimum term. This total is to be paid on request
of the cancellation.
