- Tip player service employees for unloading, loading, and cleaning the clubs
- Play ready golf – when it is your turn to hit be ready to play. This means have your club selected, be in a ready position, and hit as soon as the previous player has finished.
- Keep up the pace – maximum round time is 4 hours and 15 minutes. You must keep up with the group in front of you
Care of course:
- Fairways – repair divots with sand and seed mixture located on the cart
- Bunkers – enter from the lowest point and rake all footprints and divots left from your shot
- Greens – repair your own ball mark and any others you see in the area
Under Wyoming law, the golfer is responsible for their actions and is liable for all damage caused to personal property and the physical well-being of individuals. If you hit someone with a club, ball or cart, you are liable. If your ball hits a house, car, or other personal property you are liable for damage.
JHGTC is not a playground. You will be held to a very high standard when at JHGTC and you will be asked to leave if any JHGTC team member feels you are acting inappropriately.
JHGTC Membership – the members of our club are our top priority. Everyone you meet and interact with is a member of the club. While at JHGTC you are a representative of the company.
1 Strike Policy - If an employee is caught breaking any of the above rules, they will forfeit all golfing privileges for the remainder of the season, and may affect your employment with the company.
As part of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategy, our company is on a journey to create and foster an inclusive culture that is welcoming to everyone. We believe this is critical to diversifying perspectives within our company and industry and broadening our engagement in the sport. At the center of this journey is you - and we are incredibly passionate about delivering an Experience of a Lifetime to our full team by fostering a strong sense of belonging, connection, and community. To build communities and support systems for a diverse employee population, we announced another step forward in our DEI journey – the establishment of the Vail Resorts Employee Inclusion Network. The Employee Inclusion Network consists of two types of formalized employee groups: Affinity Groups and Employee Resource Groups. Upstanding and expanding these communities of inclusion help us live into the Vail Resorts’ mission, build the future of the sport, and is foundational to the success of the DEI strategy.
As of 2024 Affinity groups include:
Asian Pacific Islander (API) & Allies: The mission of the API & Allies Affinity Group is to thoughtfully co-create an Experience of a Lifetime for API employees by building a meaningful space to have their voices heard and elevated through engagement. For additional information and/or to join as a member, please complete this form.
Black Employee Network: The Black Employee Network Affinity Group is a space for employees who identify in part or whole as a member of the Black/African diaspora. Our purpose is to foster an environment of support, community, and connection for Black employees. Our Affinity Group mission is to provide an Experience of a Lifetime for Vail Resorts’ Black employees through addressing barriers specific to this population. For additional information, please email the Black Employee Network. If you are interested in becoming a member, please complete this form.
La Comunidad Latine/Hispanic Employee Network: La Comunidad is a safe space for Vail Resorts Latine and Hispanic employees and their allies to connect, celebrate, and educate on the cultures of this vibrant network. For additional information and/or to join as a member, please complete this form.
Veterans, Partners, & Allies: The Veterans, Partners, & Allies Affinity Group is focused on building a community that drives culture and connection. Our mission is to provide the Experience of a Lifetime for Vail Resorts’ veterans and partners through creating a culture of community while addressing challenges and opportunities unique to this group of employees. For additional information, please email the Veterans, Partners, & Allies Affinity Group. If you are interested in becoming a member, please complete this form.
Employee Resource Groups:
Women & Allies: The Women & Allies Employee Resource Group (ERG) of Vail Resorts is focused on providing an Experience of a Lifetime for Vail Resorts' women leaders by addressing barriers specific to this population. This group will influence changes in processes, policies, and programs to cultivate an inclusive environment while building allyship and advocacy that will lead to equitable practices for all employees. For additional information, please email the Women & Allies ERG. If you are interested in becoming a member, please complete this form.
Rainbow Room: The Rainbow Room, Vail Resorts’ first Affinity Group and now the second ERG, was founded by five employees in 2021 and now boasts a membership of over 135 employees. Our purpose is to create an inclusive community space for LGBTQ+ employees to feel welcome, resulting in them feeling comfortable to bring their authentic selves to work. Our goal is to be a champion for LGBTQ+ employees and ensure an Experience of a Lifetime for ALL Vail Resorts employees and guests. We aim to leverage current and future talent as a DEI Strategy by elevating the employee experience in service to the guest experience, ultimately with the goal of diversifying the sport. For additional information, please email the Rainbow Room. If you are interested in becoming a member, please complete this form.
