How NewClub Membership Works
Learn more about membership with NewClub, our dues, and what you get as a member.
NewClub is a virtual private golf club through city-based “Chapters”.
Powered by our private mobile app, members unlock thousands of reserved tee times, competitions, events, and bucket‑list trips at exceptional courses in their local area and beyond.
What is NewClub?
Why should you join?
You’re tired of endless texts and calls trying to arrange a decent round of golf. You’re frustrated by limited access to premier courses and want to find value without sacrificing quality. You’re looking for more than just another round; you want to enjoy the experience with a group of genuinely great people—dedicated golfers who respect the game, the course, and each other.
Why shouldn’t you join?
You’re only here looking for golf discounts; you only care about playing the top 100 golf courses and checking them off your list; you don’t repair your ball marks; you care more about the score you shoot than the people you play with, or you generally don’t play well with others.
