Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION
Do I have to be a member of a private country club in order to join Reciprocal Golf?

ANSWER
Yes.  If you are not already a member of a private club, contact us about a non-resident membership in one of our affiliate private clubs.  They are available at a very attractive price, and they qualify you to then join Reciprocal Golf and use our services.

QUESTION
May I bring guests to a private club when I play?

ANSWER
Yes, you may normally bring at least two, sometimes three guests with you, depending upon the club.

QUESTION
I understand many private clubs do not accept payment from a visitor for green fees, cart, pro shop merchandise, food and beverage when they play from another club.  How do I then pay, for myself and any guests I bring with me?

ANSWER
We make arrangements for you to sign for all charges when you visit another club, just like the local members.

QUESTION
How do I pay for my charges?

ANSWER
Reciprocal Golf pays the club directly.  You authorize us to charge your credit card to cover green fees and other expenses.

QUESTION
How can I check on the guest rate I will be paying at a specific club I am thinking of playing in the future?

ANSWER
We provide both a special toll-free phone number you may call, and an email address you may contact, to request rates in advance.

QUESTION
How do I contact you to request to play a specific private course?

ANSWER
We provide a different toll-free phone number for you to call, 24/7, to set up your play at that course.
  Members can also make play requests via the members sections of our website.

QUESTION
How much advance notice do I need to give you when requesting to play a private club?

ANSWER
Private clubs are different from setting up play at public courses.  We prefer that you give us at least two day's notice --- preferably three, but not more than five.  Private clubs do not take advance reservations like public courses where you might have to call weeks in advance and give them a credit card number.  You make all of your requests through our office.

QUESTION
Once I'm a member of Reciprocal Golf, may I call the private clubs directly to make my playing reservations?

ANSWER
Once you are a member, all reciprocal play reservations should be made through our office as outlined in the membership agreement.
