Open days and season:

Personal and group outings are scheduled by reservation.  Reservations are preferred at least two weeks in advance.  Reservations will be confirmed upon receipt of a 50% deposit.  The balance is due at the time of the course, payable by check or money order.  Deposits are refundable if cancellation occurs seven days or more prior to the course.  Inclement weather can cause course postponement.
