A tee-time is required, and there are no walk-ons permitted.
With this, the Forest Preserve has issued rules to remain operational:

- These Tee-times can be made via phone depending on your status: Full Members – 8 days in advance; General Public and Upgraded Anniversary Passes – 7 days in advance; Anniversary Pass Holders – 3 days in advance
- Two players are allowed per tee-time.
- No pull carts will be provided. You may bring a personal pull-cart.
- The driving range, practice range, and Par 3 will all remain closed.
- The Club House, snack bar, and bathrooms are closed.
- Limited food will be available for carryout or pick-up.
- Check-in is a necessity. You may wave to a staff member or call (217) 586-2183.
- Do not remove the flagstick from the cup. Putt to it (flag stick) and move on.
