Private golf club at golden hour

At a club member's invitation

Access the
Inaccessible

The private clubs you've only heard about. The experience you've earned. The client you've wanted to host. The junior golfer who's never stepped onto a private course. Every guest hosted, accompanied, and vouched for by a club member.

Accompanied ThroughoutVerified Before ArrivalRegistered by Your Host

Every Guest Verified

8-step process: government ID, background check, professional profile, personality assessment, and code of conduct.

Insider Access

Behind every experience is a member who knows the club, the staff, and the unwritten rules — so you belong from the moment you arrive.

Never Unaccompanied

A member hosts you in person, start to finish — the way club rules require, and the way a first visit should feel.

Arrive prepared with your club guide. Your member host handles introductions, navigation, and every detail of the day — so you can focus on the experience.

For Club Members

Share What You Love. Earn While You Do.

Most members use only a fraction of their guest privileges each year. Gated Greens turns those unused invitations into meaningful experiences — and meaningful income.

Set Your Own Price

You set the price; the guest pays the service fee at checkout. On a typical experience, that means $275 per guest, plus the connections that come with it.

You Choose Your Guests

Every guest request includes their professional profile, verified handicap, and personality match score. Accept or decline — the decision is always yours.

Your Club, Your Terms

Set your own schedule, prices, and guest limits. We handle payments, vetting, and the paperwork. You just show up and share what you love.

Stories from the Other Side of the Gate

“

I love hosting — meeting people who appreciate the club the way I do. The income is welcome, but it’s the connections that keep me coming back.

Verified Member Host

12-year member, hosted 18 guests this season

“

I brought a key client to a private club for a round — and it changed our entire relationship. Five hours on a private course built more trust than a year of conference calls ever could.

Verified Guest

Sales Executive, 14-handicap, first experience through Gated Greens

“

I tried three clubs before deciding where to apply. Experiencing the club firsthand — the course, the members, the atmosphere — made the decision easy. Worth every round.
