Automatic policy enforcement (e.g., booking limits/rules)

Purpose

1.1. Enables automated policy enforcement for country club facility and reservation management by automatically applying booking limits, membership usage policies, time-based rules, and custom restrictions across resources.
1.2. Automates compliance by instantly validating every booking request against club rules (guest limits, peak-time restrictions, repeat reservations, blackout dates).
1.3. Automates notifications, logging, and escalation flows if violations are detected, ensuring club staff and members receive policy-related alerts in real-time.
1.4. Centralizes policy logic; automates coordination between reservation systems, CRM, access control, and payment gateways, ensuring all platforms enforce up-to-date policies.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. New reservation, modification, or cancellation request initiated by member, guest, or staff.
2.2. Automated detection of attempted override (manual booking beyond limits, duplicate entries, after-hour requests).
2.3. Scheduled policy review or rule update for mass automated enforcement retroactively.
2.4. Automated integration with club calendar and event systems to enforce ad hoc or recurring blackout/priority rules.
