What does it cost to join?

Your members pay nothing. It is a benefit by your club to your members for a small initiation fee and even smaller monthly fee. That’s it! Please contact us for current club pricing.

Does my club have to accept a minimum amount of PCN tee times?

No. You have complete control over how many tee time requests you accept. Contact us for a complete list of our reciprocal play rules that protect the integrity of your club.

Who will be requesting to play my club?

Individuals cannot get access to the PCN without having a private club membership, similar to your own members.

Will this be a burden to my staff?

No. All tee time requests are handled by the PCN tee time concierge staff. You will never be contacted by individual members. This frees your Pro from having to make any personal calls on behalf of your members.

Are there limitations to where and how often my members may play another club?

Yes. Individuals may not play the golf course of another Member Club, which is within a one hundred (100) mile radius of the individual's home club. An individual will only be permitted to play a maximum of three (3) times per year at any given Member Club. Host Clubs, at its sole discretion, may waive the mileage and usage restrictions. Individuals must observe all guest policies when they visit other Member Clubs.

Can I arrange my own tee times at a private club?

No. All reservation requests must be administered through Private Club Network's member services. This is a big benefit to your Club Pro who normally would be responsible for making those kinds of calls.

How do my members request a tee time at another private club?

All tee time requests by members of Private Club Network must be made through the Network's member services. Members may access the Network's member services by calling toll free at 800.547.0838. Or, via the Network's website at www.privateclubnetwork.com.

Can members buy an individual Private Club Network membership?

No. Enrollment in the Private Club Network is on an invitation-only basis and is determined by a club's governing body (i.e., Board of Directors, General Manager, Club President, etc). Individual golf members of an enrolled Private Club Network club, in good standing, are automatically enrolled in the Network.

Do my members have charging privileges at the other Network clubs?

At this time, some Private Club Network member clubs do charge back to your home club. This is determined by each Private Club Network member club if they are able to reciprocate or not.

How do my members activate their membership in Private Club Network?

Activation is required in order to access the benefits and use the network. This may be done at www.privateclubnetwork.com. Our marketing packet will help you get the word out to your members.

How does it work?

Once a club member has registered on the PCN’s website, they may request a tee time at any of the clubs in the Network by calling Private Club Network or using the website. PCN’s Tee Time Concierge will contact the desired club. If the club has availability and elects to accommodate the request, the concierge will make the necessary arrangements.

The requests for reservation at any of the participating PCN clubs are just that, requests. There is no guarantee that the tee time request can be accommodated. Once a tee time has been secured, the member is notified by concierge where any special instructions are given.

May members bring guests?

Guest play requests are left solely to the discretion of the host club. All guests must be accompanied by a Private Club Network member at all times and must abide by club rules at all times. Guests are subject to prevailing club "guest" fees as determined by the host club.

Do members have to show proof of their home club membership?

All Individual Private Club Network members are required to present a photo ID upon checking in with the golf shop of the Host Club. The Host Club, with the support of the Private Club Network, may reserve the right to deny play to any Private Club Network member and their guests if they fail to present a photo ID matching the names provided by the Private Club Network. Also, any changes to the players in a group must be made through the Private Club Network.

How much outside play will my Club experience?

Your Club is in complete control of the amount of play you allow as a result of requests made by other Private Club Network members. The benefit is non-intrusive and the availability of the Club to each member will never be compromised. Because all reservation requests are administered only through Private Club Network's member services, your Club's golf professional and staff are always in complete control of outside requests for tee times by members of other clubs.

Where can I get a list of your clubs?

You can request a current list from PCN Headquarters. 800-547-0838
