What's the deal with phones on the course?

Many top private clubs don't allow cell phone use on the property. I played Shoreacres in Chicago (top 50 in the US) a year and a half ago. When we arrived, the first thing we were told was that if we needed to use our cell phone, we needed return to the car. About 10 minutes later, someone in our group pulled out his phone to take a picture of the course behind the clubhouse, and someone ran out of the pro shop to ask him to please put his phone away. It's just a rule at a lot of the exclusive private clubs.
