MEMBER BILLING & PAYMENT FAQ
As we come into our busy season we would like to share with members some of the questions and concerns that we hear frequently.
When are statements issued?
Member statements are generated and mailed or emailed to Members no later than the 5 of the subsequent month. Statements for June 1June 30 are issued no later than July 5. Dues are not posted to Member accounts until the 1 or 2 business day of the following month, so although the date on the statement is the last day of the month, if you view your account online please wait until you see those dues posted before initiating a payment. Those Members who receive ForeTees notifications will get a message when statements have been issued. Members have the option to receive statements via mail, email or both. If you wish to go green, please reach out to Mary with Member Services to have your statement preference changed. th st nd
When is my bill due?
Payment must be received by the last day of the month. For example, your statement dated June 30 is due by July 31. We do not use the postmark date so please allow mailing time if you aren’t paying via ACH or Credit Card.
How can I pay my bill?
The easiest way to pay your bill is to setup ACH or credit card recurring payments on the Club’s website. You can choose the date you’d like the payment to be paid and then you will be charged for your statement balance on that date. We recommend choosing a date between the 5 and 20 . This ensures that your statement balance is paid after we generate statements and is posted in time to avoid finance charges and late fees. th th Additionally, we accept checks by mail or in person at the Club. There is a drop box by the Concierge desk and by Member Services in the Administrative Offices at the Club.
If paying by check, we recommend mailing before the 15 of the month or dropping it off in person at the Club. th If paying by ACH on the website, please submit by the 20 of the month. ACH payments can take up to 5 days to clear our system. th
If you are paying later than the 20th, we recommend paying by credit card or dropping your payment off in person at the Club. Credit card transactions clear overnight and we can post credit card payments to your account the next business day. Note: There is a 3% finance charge for credit card payments.
I pay my bill through my bank’s ACH system or BillPay feature. Why is my payment not posted on the date it clears my account? We have noticed many Members use a system from their bank to send checks to us. If you are using one of these systems, it can take up to 10 business days to arrive in the mail.
When we receive these checks, we can get up to 30 checks in one envelope. The checks almost always vary in date with up to 10 days difference in check dates. While we are unsure how your bank decides to mail checks, the deduction from your bank account happens on the date you chose and can be misleading as to when we physically receive the check here at the Club. Please keep this in mind if you are selecting a date after the 15 with your bank. If we do not receive the funds before the end of the month, you will be assessed late fees and finance charges. th
I prefer to use my bank to send a check. What do you recommend?
We understand that keeping all your bill payments in one place offers security and peace of mind. If you would still like to use the service your bank provides instead of the website, we recommend dating your payment between the 5 and 15 to ensure ample time for delivery. th th

KEEP COOL & STAY HYDRATED
Here's a reminder on how to keep your homes cooler during the summer days from RBCC’s facilities department. Direct sunlight can make your home feel hotter, so focus on blocking it. Here are some tips:
Keep blinds closed to prevent sunlight from entering.
Use ceiling fans counter-clockwise to push air downwards (flip the switch on the side of the fan).
Turn off lights in unattended areas.
Change your HVAC filters regularly. A clogged air filter strains your AC, uses more energy, and shortens its lifespan.
Avoid using the stove. Cooking indoors can heat up your home. Instead, step outside and light up your grill.
Stay cool swim in our pool and enjoy the summer!
Staying hydrated is especially important during the summer, particularly when engaging in outdoor activities like golf and tennis. Warmer temperatures increase the body's fluid loss through sweat, which can lead to dehydration more quickly than in cooler weather. Proper hydration helps regulate body temperature, maintain energy levels, and support muscle function, all of
which are essential for performance and safety during physical activity. Drinking water regularly before, during, and after outdoor play is key to avoiding heat-related illnesses and staying at your best.
So, if you haven’t done so already, pick up your complimentary water bottles in the Golf Shop before July 31!
