Golf Proposal
In Idaho Vacation Services is requesting the ability to make tee -times in advance for our lodging guests.
This will allow In Idaho to market and promote golf packages to our visitors. Currently, the community
does not have the ability to advertise and attract groups to the McCall Area or golf course because we
cannot guarantee tee times. Golfers are hesitant to choose a golf destination where they cannot have their
primary activity reserved
Proposal
Allow both IN Idaho Vacation Services and the lodging properties to make tee -times, beginning April 1st.
* * in advance providing the following:
1. Golfer has a confirmed reservation at one of the McCall Area Hotels, Motels, Bed and Breakfasts and
Condominium or home rental.
2. Golfer pre pays for their golf.
3. Tee -times requested are after 11:00 am.
Deposits and Cancellations:
In order for golfers to make a lodging tee time they must pre -pay for their golf. Full refunds will be allowed
if cancelled outside of the lodging properties cancellation policy or outside of 48 hours days weekday,
whichever is greatest.
Process:
In Idaho Vacation Services will make the reservation through the golf course and send payment prior to the
guests tee -time.
Commissions:
In Idaho Vacation Services is asking for a 14% commission on all golf activities. This is their standard
commission rate for activity bookings. Payment to the golf course for tee times will be made with the
commission net.
* * Date will be established between In Idaho Vacation Services and the golf pro.
Note: effective for 1999; will be reviewed after 1999 to see if it is continued, modified or dropped
Accepted by Golf Course Advisory Committee 2-17-99,
Max Williamson, Chairman
