Have you ever bought a restaurant coupon book that seemed to offer great value, only to throw it away virtually unused because it never offered the right restaurants at the right time?

It's the same for most golf cards, because most are designed and operated by people in the card business, not in the golf business.

The Birkdale Golf Card is a refreshing exception: a membership card run by people who run golf clubs. We know what golfers want in a golf course - and a golf card.

Read our roster of courses and our list of benefits and you'll see we've created this card with the serious Carolina golfer in mind.

Instead of indiscriminately signing up clubs, we've deliberately created an ensemble of the fine facilities throughout the Carolinas - courses offering a uniqure quality, character, and variety.

In location, facilites and service, these courses are a cut above. But then, so are our cardholders.
