Golf Course Reminders
The golf course will be closed for Greens Aeration from Tuesday, March 19 - Wednesday, March 20. We anticipate reopening for play at 10am on Thursday, March 21.
Please do your part to protect our turf! Adhere to cart paths and roughs until further notice due to all of the water the course took on over the winter.
The Driving Range is open Tuesday-Sunday until May 13th, we will be using mats only until further notice.
The golf course will be closed on Mondays until May 13th. Please also be mindful of the outing schedule on select Mondays throughout the season.
Policies & Procedures
A friendly reminder to all Members: our policy going forward states that you must check into the golf shop before your round, please let our staff know if you are walking or riding and how many holes you will be playing.
Guests must also check-in prior to their round and sign in on the guest log. Each guest may play up to twice per month, and a maximum of six times per year.

Golf Shop / Merchandise
Members have the option to join a Mill River Plan this season! A Mill River Plan is a buying plan designed to provide players with discounted pricing on goods purchased through the Silo Point Golf Shop. The concept is simple: there is an upfront fee to join the program and then all your golf shop purchases are discounted to 10% above wholesale costs. This includes Equipment, Balls, Gloves, Shoes, Shirts, Hats, and SPECIAL ORDERS! This great program saves you hundreds of dollars on all your golfing needs throughout the season.
Along with offering the Mill River Plan, we will also be carrying some new lines across both golf shops for 2024 including Ralph Lauren/RLX, Swannies, Turtleson, Footjoy, and more!
The 2024 Mill River charge will be $199 for Single Memberships and $249 for Families. You can opt-in to the Mill River Plan by filling out this form:
Tournament Schedule
The Tournament Schedule is available in the Member Area. Please note that eligibility will depend, in part, on your Membership Classification (for ex. only Full Members are eligible for Weekend events, unless noted otherwise). All tournament sign-ups will be taken in the golf shop and open at least one month in advance. Tournament information such as time, format, eligibility, cost, etc. will be promoted via email as soon as details become available. Please see the golf shop staff to sign up for any member events.
Sign Ups for the Masters Par 3 Tournament are open. Call or visit the golf shop to sign up. This is a brand new event to kick-off the season in a new, fun way. Please join us!
Leagues
Leagues at Silo Point are Member driven. Below you will find details for the established Men's Golf Association (Wednesday mornings), Women's 18-Hole Golf Association (Thursday mornings) and Women's Interclub. If you are interested in arranging additional league play, please speak to Jerry or Chris.
Member Services / Lockers & Storage Requests
Lockers are available on a first-come, first-served basis. When submitting your optional services form, we will reserve a locker (if available) and charge your member account. Please visit the golf shop for a key if you see you have been charged for a locker.
MEN with a locker in 2023 will be automatically billed for the same locker this season (unless handled otherwise).
WOMEN with a locker in 2023 will be automatically billed for the same locker this season (unless handled otherwise).
If you had a locker in 2023 but NO LONGER WISH TO USE YOUR LOCKER, please submit the form and check the box to resign your locker and promptly return your key to the golf shop, or you will be billed.
The GHIN Handicap fee is $50 for the year. If you are a new member transferring your GHIN from another club, please make sure to include your GHIN number in the optional services form. You must have an active GHIN handicap at Silo Point Country Club to play in any club events, with no exceptions.
We hope you are as excited as we are for the 2024 golf season at Silo Point Country Club! We will continue to share Member Updates throughout the season to keep all information current and readily available. Please email membership@silopointcc.com if you have any questions regarding billing or Membership privileges.
