For Private Clubs

Your Club, Now Everywhere Your Members Go

A Club without walls, exclusively for the Members of affiliated private Clubs.

Affiliating with Palmer Advantage and give your Members a world of golf, travel, and unique experiences that make belonging to your Club more valuable, everywhere they go.

Why Clubs Affiliate

More Reasons to Join. More Reasons to Stay.

Private Clubs everywhere face the same pressures: rising costs, real competition, and keeping Members engaged year after year. Palmer Advantage was built by veteran Club operators to help you meet all three.

Drive Loyalty and Retention

Add value your Members feel, without major capital spending.

Creating Unique Experiences

Members enjoy shared experiences with one another on special golf and leisure trips.

Low-Impact by Design

Built to fit your operation and stay easy on your team.

A Club Without Walls

Everywhere Your Members Go

Affiliation makes your Members eligible to access the full Palmer Advantage program, a network that reaches far beyond your gates. Golf and travel come together in one place, so a Member can play a private Club across the country, book the hotel, plan the trip, and hand the details to a Concierge. It is a complete travel solution for your Membership, at home and away.

Visiting Member Access

You Stay in Control of Your Club

To offer the program, your Club accommodates the occasional visiting Member. It is built to be light, managed for you, and to keep your Members first.

  • Your team control access. At home, your Members always come first.
  • Space-available only. No required reservations, no allocations.
  • No weekend mornings unless you choose to allow them.
  • No local access. Members of Clubs within 75 miles are restricted, both ways.

Every request is verified and routed through our Concierge, with your team's final approval.

Built to Fit Your Club

The big question: what does this cost?

There is more than one way to bring Palmer Advantage to your Members.

Bundle into Your Membership

  • Invest in your Membership
  • Build into dues increases
  • Cover renovations or facility interruptions

A La Carte Offering

  • Make it available to the Members who want it
  • A simple monthly fee

The right model and pricing are built around the number of Members to be included, and what design is needed to meet your Club's goals. One short call is all it takes for us to come back with model options and specific pricing for your Club.

The Next Step

Let's Build the Right Program for Your Club

The best next step is a short call. We will walk through how the program works, the options available to your Club, and the benefits your Members would enjoy, then tailor a program proposal that fits. You are also welcome to reach us directly.

We have sat in your chair. Our organization has decades in the golf and Club business as owners and operators of private Clubs and golf courses, and Palmer Advantage was built out of that experience.

We know what a tee sheet, a Membership committee, and a retention conversation actually look like, so the program is designed around how a Club really runs.
