Errant Golf Ball Policy
Kindly understand that Square Links Golf Course and the
Frankfort Square Park District are not responsible or lia-
ble for property damage or personal injuries arising from
errant golf balls. The park district is committed to safety,
good sportsmanship, and cooperation with our golfers
and residents, and has developed the following guidelines
to minimize errant shots and to assist injured parties in
identifying the golfer responsible for hitting the errant
shot.
Golfers are expected to exercise the highest degree of
sportsmanship, etiquette, caution, and consideration of
others, refraining from horseplay, carelessness, and reck-
less or offensive behavior. Golfers are responsible for
their own conduct and play, including errant shots that
may result in property damage or personal injuries.
In the event of property damage or personal injury,
Square Links employees will assist the damaged proper-
ty owner or injured party in trying to identify the golfer
who struck the shot. However, the property owner or
injured party cannot be disruptive or discourteous to
facility patrons or staff.
