Terms & Conditions

Effective Date: August 23, 2026 | Last Updated: August 23, 2026

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of www.thegolfpractice.com (the “Site”) and any products, services, facilities, programs, memberships, content, or communications offered by The Golf Practice (a business entity organized under the laws of the State of Illinois) (“The Golf Practice,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) (collectively, the “Services”). Please read them carefully.

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services.

1. Eligibility & Acceptance

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and able to form a binding contract to use the Services. Minors may participate in our junior and youth programs only when registered by a parent or legal guardian who accepts these Terms on their behalf. By using the Services, you represent that you meet these requirements and that all information you provide is accurate and complete.

2. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. Revised Terms become effective when posted, and we will update the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Services.

3. Permitted Use & Prohibited Conduct

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your personal or internal business purposes in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

  • Use the Services for any unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful purpose;
  • Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right;
  • Copy, reproduce, scrape, harvest, or republish any part of the Services without authorization;
  • Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems;
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity, security, or performance of the Services;
  • Use automated means (bots, crawlers) except as permitted by our robots.txt;
  • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation;
  • Use the Services to transmit unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or spam.

4. Bookings, Lessons, Memberships & Cancellations

Bay reservations, lessons, clinics, fittings, leagues, events, and memberships may be booked through the Site, by phone, or in person. Bookings are confirmed only when you receive a confirmation from us. Rates, program schedules, session lengths, and availability are subject to change.

  • Cancellations and no-shows. Cancellation windows, rescheduling rules, and any associated fees are those communicated to you at the time of booking and posted at our facilities. Please review them at booking — if the terms in your booking confirmation differ from anything on this page, the booking confirmation controls.
  • Memberships. Membership benefits, term lengths, billing frequency, and cancellation requirements are set out in the membership agreement or plan description you accept at sign-up. Memberships are personal to you and may not be shared, transferred, or resold without our written consent.
  • Gift cards and prepaid packages. Gift cards and prepaid lesson or bay-time packages are redeemable only for our Services, are not redeemable for cash except where required by law, and are subject to any expiration or usage terms disclosed at purchase and permitted under Illinois law.
  • Late arrival. Sessions begin and end at their scheduled times. Late arrival may shorten your session without a reduction in price.

5. Facility Rules, Conduct & Assumption of Risk

Golf involves inherent risks, including risk of injury from swinging clubs, moving golf balls, equipment, and physical exertion. By entering our facilities or participating in any lesson, program, league, event, or practice session, you voluntarily assume those risks and agree to follow all posted rules, bay and equipment instructions, and directions from our staff. We may require you to sign a separate waiver, release, or participation agreement; where you do, that document governs the activity it covers.

You are responsible for supervising any minor in your care while at our facilities except during the portion of a program in which our staff has expressly assumed supervision. We may refuse service to, remove, or suspend the access of any person whose conduct is unsafe, disruptive, or in violation of these Terms or our posted rules, without refund.

6. Video, Photography & Performance Data

Lessons and practice sessions may involve video recording and launch-monitor or simulator data capture for instructional purposes, as described in our Privacy Policy. We may also photograph or record general facility activity, leagues, and events for marketing purposes. If you do not wish to appear in marketing imagery, notify our staff and we will accommodate your request. You retain no ownership interest in our proprietary coaching analysis or systems.

7. Accounts & Registration

Some features may require an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

8. Products, Services, Pricing & Payment

Descriptions, pricing, and availability of products or services are subject to change without notice. We strive for accuracy but do not warrant that descriptions, pricing, or other content are error-free. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order or booking, correct pricing errors, and limit quantities. You authorize us to charge the payment method you provide for the amounts due, including any applicable taxes, cancellation fees, and recurring membership charges until you cancel in accordance with your membership terms.

9. Intellectual Property

The Services and all content, features, and functionality — including text, graphics, logos, images, designs, instructional materials, software, and trademarks — are owned by or licensed to The Golf Practice and are protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited license granted in these Terms, no rights are transferred to you. You may not use our name, logos, or trademarks without our prior written consent.

10. User Content & Submissions

If you submit reviews, comments, photos, or other content (“User Content”), you retain ownership but grant The Golf Practice a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, display, and distribute that User Content in connection with the Services and our business. You represent that you own or control all rights to your User Content and that it does not violate these Terms or any third-party rights. See our DMCA & Copyright Policy for how to report infringing content.

11. Third-Party Links & Services

The Services may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, products, or services — including booking and payment platforms, simulator software, embedded video, and social media feeds — that we do not control. We provide these for convenience only and do not endorse and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices.

12. Disclaimers of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, The Golf Practice DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE ANY PARTICULAR IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR GOLF PERFORMANCE, HANDICAP, SCORE, OR PHYSICAL CONDITION AS A RESULT OF USING THE SERVICES. INSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE DATA ARE PROVIDED FOR TRAINING PURPOSES AND ARE NOT MEDICAL, PHYSICAL-THERAPY, OR FITNESS ADVICE — CONSULT A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL BEFORE BEGINNING ANY NEW PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL The Golf Practice OR ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Golf Practice and its owners, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Services, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 16, you agree that any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Lake County, Illinois, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

16. Arbitration & Class-Action Waiver

Except where prohibited by law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered under the rules of a recognized arbitration provider, rather than in court, except that either party may bring a claim in small-claims court. You and The Golf Practice agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by notifying us in writing at [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

17. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will continue to apply.

18. Miscellaneous

  • Entire Agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services, except that any signed waiver, membership agreement, or participation agreement governs the activity it specifically covers.
  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.
  • No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them freely.
  • Force Majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
  • Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and have no legal effect.
