CANCELLATION POLICY
Burl Oaks Golf Club hosts one wedding or event at a time to ensure success of the event. Because of this, cancellations cause great revenue loss. If you need to cancel your wedding, please notify your Wedding Specialist as soon as possible. Your $250 deposit will be forfeit unless Burl Oaks can rebook another event of equal or more value on the same date. Cancellations 6 months or less from the event date subject to management approval.
COAT CHECK
Burl Oaks has two self-service coat checks in the entry of our Clubhouse.
DAMAGES, LOST ITEMS, AND PROPERTY
Burl Oaks will not assume liability for damage to or loss of any merchandise or articles left at the facility. Any personal items used at your reception should be taken at the end of the night, unless previous arrangements have been made (see “Reception Set-up and Tear-down”). The organization or individual contracting with Burl Oaks shall be responsible for any damage incurred to the premises during the time of the event. Burl Oaks will not be held responsible for acts of God. Additionally, there is no confetti, glitter, rice, birdseed, or bug spray allowed in our facilities or on our grounds.
