Reminders before heading to the course

Before you tee off, remember to bring your reusable water bottle, and take advantage of the water refilling stations on-site. The City’s golf courses are no longer selling plastic water bottles. Another good reminder for those planning to visit BraeBen or Lakeview, is that both courses are cashless, so please remember to bring debit or credit cards for transactions.
