Lessons, Summer Camps, Golf Clinics.

1) Private Golf Lessons are paid directly to the Golf Pro, with no money going to NVCC

2) Summer Camps and Clinics:

The use of Golf Course facilities, putting green, driving range, 18-hole golf course, golf cart, range balls, and clubs have to add a value in the final price for the Summer Camps and Clinic. Instructors for the camps and clinics will be paid by the revenue of such camps and clinics. Full-time or part-time employees that take part in the teaching of camps or clinics should not be on the NVCC time clock. NVCC will retain 30% of the total revenue from camps and clinics.

3) It is up to the NVCC management to assign the instructors and the extra support personnel to run the clinic and camps. If any NVCC hourly based employee takes part in helping run the Camp or Clinic, the hourly NVCC employee must be off the clock and compensated by the Camp or Clinic revenue from the instructor’s portion of revenue.

The final split between club and instructors, will be determinate by the General Manger. For the 2027 season the final compensation will be 30% to NVCC 70% to the instructor and the supporting personnel for the camps and clinics.

4) NVCC understands the importance of Summer Camps, Clinics, and Lessons. It is understood that while NVCC makes every possible attempt to accommodate the Camps, Clinics and Private Lessons, Golf instructors must understand that the club is open for business every day and must respect public tee times and not interfere with possible business revenue from the Club. NVCC and Golf Pro must form a collaboration based on trust and respect for the benefit of all.
