Golf Course Clubs

Type 1

Clubs based at a golf course or related facilities with valid Course and Slope Ratings. Most club events take place there, with accessible scoring records showing regular play.

Social & Business Clubs

Type 2
Most members already know each other through a business, fraternal, or social organization. Clubs have no single home course, and members generally live within about 100 miles of the club’s main location.

Open Membership Clubs

Type 3
Clubs recruit members publicly, with no prior connection between members or regular play at one course. Members generally live within about 100 miles of the club’s main location.
