Welcome Home

GENERAL INFO

Ryan Shaw, General Manager, CCM, CCE

Welcome to Fiddlesticks Country Club! We are proud to share our one-of-a-kind community with you and hope that your stay here is everything you dreamed it would be.

Every season we have a wonderful contingent of renters such as yourselves. And we are pleased to report that a majority of our renters transition into resident members, whether it be after the first year or the third. The members here are truly a welcoming crowd and the community as a whole has a warm and receptive feel as soon as you drive through the gates. This, combined with the low course density, the uniqueness of the homes, the professionalism of the staff, the attention to detail, and the abundance of activities and events, is why so many have made Fiddlesticks their home. While here, should you have any questions regarding the amenities, the community in general, or the membership categories and fee structure, please let me know. You may pick up a copy of the newsletter, The Piper, at the front desk. A link for the newsletter can also be found on your home page of the website. The Club website and app are great tools to stay connected. Your default website username will be your member # (assigned prior to arrival) and your password will be the first initial of your first name and last name. Example: Bob Smith (Member #1234) would have a username of 1234 and a password of bsmith. If his spouse Susan Smith was accessing the website, her username would be #1234A and password ssmith. Upon your first login, you will be asked to re-set your username and password. Once you update your username and password for your website account you will next want to download the ClubEssential app

onto your mobile device. The app will require a one-time login. For the Club ID, use the word fiddle (all lowercase). The username and password will be the same that you use for the website. Once you arrive on property, if you have any questions regarding your unit please contact the rental agent/member directly.

Again, Welcome Home!

A group of any size should not have more than two (2) carts with single riders. No more than two (2) riders and two (2) sets of clubs are allowed per cart. 7. Stay on the cart path until you reach the stake next to the path 75 yards to 150 yards off the tee and then leave the path and proceed to your ball. Keep the cart in the fairway until you reach the stake that is 40 yards to 60 yards before the green, or until both players’ balls are on the green, then return to the cart path. (Players with handicap flags must be at least 10 yards from the green.) This policy will vary the entry point from the cart path thus improving aesthetics and protecting the grass around the green that is required to execute lofted shots.

Lightning Policy Fiddlesticks is equipped with a course sound alert warning system. If the system detects a lightning strike within seven (7) miles, a fifteen (15) second continuous blast horn will sound to signal you to take appropriate precautions for your own personal safety. When there has not been a lightning strike within seven (7) miles for fifteen (15) minutes, the horn will sound with three (3) five (5) second blasts and you may proceed to where you discontinued play. The decision to ignore the course alert may put you and your group in greater danger and continued play is discouraged. Ultimately, it is your decision and play is at your own risk at all times.
