Oswego Lake Country Club’s mission is to provide a premium golf and social experience for today’s community of active and engaging Members, families and friends.
As a community of unique individuals from varied backgrounds, a unified code of conduct provides a common set of guiding principles, designed to promote an atmosphere of civility and cordiality at all times, thus offering a true sanctuary for everyone within our collective community. For the benefit of all, it is our shared responsibility to abide by this code of conduct, intended to respect the rights of every Member, guest and Staff Member and to guarantee the future success of our Club:
-
A WARM AND WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT — Our Club has built a wonderful reputation as a friendly and inclusive place, made possible by a Membership that regularly welcomes an ever-expanding circle of Members and guests.
- EXHIBITING CONDUCT BECOMING OF AN OLCC MEMBER — To maintain a desirable environment, Members, their families and guests are expected to conduct themselves appropriately at all times. Every visit to the Club should be enjoyable and free from embarrassment, confrontation and strife. Our Members treat others as they wish to be treated.
- VALUING DIVERSE OPINIONS — With a wealth of personal and professional knowledge and experience in our ranks, it is understood that there are many ways to arrive at a ‘best solution’ to a given problem, but that compromise and respect for differing points of view is the only mandatory ingredient for success.
- RESPECTING OUR STAFF — We are fortunate to have a dedicated staff, who work hard to deliver a pleasurable, premium club experience. They are worthy of, and deserve our appreciation and respect at all times.
- HONORING THE GAME OF GOLF — With golf as the central offering of our Club, Members are expected to observe the rules of golf and to practice proper golf course etiquette at all times.
- STAYING RELEVANT IN AN EVER-CHANGING ENVIRONMENT — As our Membership demographic changes over time, Member needs and wants change as well. Services, activities, facilities, and events provided by the Club will adapt and change as necessary to ensure the strongest possible Member satisfaction and engagement.
- COMMITTING TO THE STEWARDSHIP OF OUR CLUB — Our future relies on how we care for our Club today. By volunteering our time, and dedicating a portion of our funding to maintaining and improving our Club, we can build a stronger community, and ensure that future Members will enjoy the same opportunity to enjoy our facilities and valued traditions that we enjoy today.
- PARTICIPATING IN THE MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT PROCESS — As far back as 1937, ‘Every Member Get A Member’ was the rallying cry, reminding current Members that the life blood and the fundamental success of our Club has always come from the quality of its Membership. All Members can and should play a role, and participate in the recruitment of future Club Members.
- APPRECIATING OUR RICH HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE — OLCC began as something of a gift to future generations. The founding Members built a special place, creating a legacy of success for the benefit of its Members and the surrounding community. Our enjoyment of OLCC today is a direct result of this legacy and of every Member’s engagement since the Club’s founding in 1924. Historic evidence and information is available to every Member, and is on display in our Clubhouse, on our website, and on our golf course. Knowledge of our history and respect for our traditions is paramount to the future success of our Club. Members have the ongoing responsibility to honor this history and respect these traditions.
- RESPECTING OLCC’S RULES AND BYLAWS — Designed by Members for Members to maximize the enjoyment of our facilities, Members are responsible for knowing and abiding by this Code of Conduct, and by the rules and bylaws of OLCC.
- OUR GUESTS-ABIDING BY OUR CODES OF CONDUCT AND DRESS — OLCC is a welcoming place for
its guests. For the benefit of all Members and their guests, it is the duty and the responsibility of the inviting Member(s) to inform their guest(s) as to the expectations of our Club through the honoring of the intent of this Code of Conduct, to exhibit proper behavior at all times, and to honor our current dress code while they are in attendance at our Club. Members are responsible for the actions of their guests.
