From the Professional Staff…
Good Afternoon,
We want to first and foremost wish you safe and happy holidays!
As another holiday is upon us, we unfortunately seem to be looking down the barrel of more restrictions and regulations over the coming winter season. Here at the club we have kept busy filling holiday orders and getting our Trackman Sim Room ready for reveal in early 2022. Today, we want to send a quick newsletter to set the stage for the Trackman Room, knowing that we may be required to make adjustments to our plan as we go. Rest assured, that we will communicate any of those changes to you as soon as we know them.

Here is a screenshot of the graphics that you can expect on the sim:
HOW DO I BOOK SIM TIME?
Over the next two weeks, we will begin to share all the info you need about our sim room. including the hours of operation and the offerings that our Food & Beverage team has put together.
Initially, the opportunity to book hours on each of the sims will be:
Tuesday - Friday (10:00 am - 8:00 pm)
Saturdays (9:00 am - 5:00 pm)
To book, we will be using an online scheduler. You can access the bookings by logging into member central and clicking on the “Trackman Sim Room Bookings” button (see image below)
This will take you to our Lookout Point Sim Room - Powered by Trackman website where you can book sim time in 4, 2 and 1 hour increments. You will also be able to book lessons with our Professional Staff through this portal. 4 Hour & 2 Hour bookings will open 7 days in advance. 1 Hour Bookings will open 5 days in advance and Lesson Bookings will open 4 days in advance.
You will first select the appointment type you want (1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour, or various lessons). It will then show you a calendar of available slots which you can choose from. If a date or time is not showing, it is either not open for booking yet - or has already been booked. Once you select your day (example image below) you will see a list of times and “slots” available. These “slots” represent the two simulators. If you see only “1 slot” it means the other simulator is booked at that time. If you see 2 “slots” then both simulators are available. “slots” are NOT the number of players coming. You can bring up to 4 other members to play with you. Note: A rough guide is 1 hour per player to complete 18 holes. A single can complete 18 holes in roughly 1 hour, a twosome in 2 hours, and a foursome in 3-4 hours.
The final step to booking your sim time will be to complete your reservation, including COVID-19 pre-screening form. Please note, that you will also be required to show proof of vaccination (or have previously submitted it to us) as well as sign a covid-19 screening tool once you have arrived on property.
The first day for the Sim Room - Powered by Trackman, will be on Wednesday, January 5th. Bookings for January 5th will open on Wednesday, December 29th (for 2 and 4 hour appointments) and Friday, December 31st (for 1 hour appointments). This process will continue for January 6th & beyond.
Additionally, lesson availability may be available based on our professional staff’s availability. Please feel free to contact Adam, Al or Dan directly for more information.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Head Teaching Professional, Adam Steinschifter at adam@lopcc.com
