Before beginning the application process, please read the following:

• Annual membership dues for Adults (ages 19+) are $47 and Junior Golfers (ages 18 and under) are encouraged to join Youth on Course for $20.
• Membership is valid for 365 days from the date of application. An auto-renew option is available.

• The opening screen of the Online Join and Renew dashboard allows you to search for a club by name or zip code. Zip code will search within 100 miles of the location you enter and all clubs are open to both male and female golfers.

• IMPORTANT: If you have or had a Handicap ID (GHIN number) in the past make sure you select “Yes” after clicking the “Join” button. This will ensure that you are activated with the same GHIN number at the club of your choice and will retain your Handicap Index and score history.
