Can I bring my own food and beverage?
No outside food or beverage is permitted on the course. Per Virginia ABC laws, all alcoholic beverages must be purchased through the golf course. Personal coolers are prohibited — Old Trail provides a club cooler on every golf cart.
What is the rain check policy?
Rain checks are issued for weather-related instances. An 18-hole rain check is issued if you have played fewer than 6 holes. If you have played 6–12 holes, a 9-hole rain check is issued. If you have played 13 or more holes, no rain check will be issued. No cash is issued for greens or cart fees.
What are the cart path rules?
Each golf cart operator must have a valid driver's license. Daily cart path rules (90-degree or cart path only) are determined by the superintendent and posted in the Pro Shop. All carts must remain on the cart path on par 3s. Please observe all cart signs and roped areas.
Do I need to check in before using the range?
Yes. All players, regardless of member or guest status, must check into the Pro Shop before proceeding to the driving range or practice facility.
Do gift cards expire?
Yes. All gift cards and certificates expire one year from the date of issue. We are unable to extend or honor expired gift cards, certificates, or coupons.
What about handicap flags?
Handicap flags require documentation from a doctor. The professional staff has full discretion on approvals. Carts with handicap flags may not be driven within 30 feet of greens or approaches and must stay on the path at tee boxes and all par 3s.
