Global Links Club

Some clubs you cannot play your way onto.

Belonging to a great club gets you nothing at another one. A member of Portrush is still a guest at Portmarnock, with no standing and no one to call. Global Links Club is the connection: members host each other in turn, so a round at a course you have no history with becomes a matter of asking, rather than knowing someone. The club keeps count.

The trade

Host at your own club. Be a guest at his.

Two games hosted at home, two visits in return. The account keeps a record of both, one round at a time.

How it works

A round at his club, and one at yours.

  1. Ask. Say which clubs you'd like to play, and when.

  2. Offer. A member there offers to host you.

  3. Arrange. You accept, and agree the tee time between you.

  4. Play. Afterwards you both confirm it, and the account records it.

Membership

For members in good standing of clubs where membership is itself the qualification. Apply and we will consider your club and your application.

Membership is annual, and it is paid.
