Starter’s Hut
The ILGC website features a directory of the network participating home golf facilities that includes detailed information about all home golf facilities, including but not limited to, photography, history of the facility, amenities offered, fee details and any other information that uniquely portrays the personality and/or quality of the facility and its experience.
BOOKING TEE TIMES: When making tee reservations at participating home golf facilities members must adhere to the each facility’s booking procedures which may require the member’s name, membership number, phone number, email address and a valid credit card with which to hold the reservation. Also, when requesting tee times please note the following: - Discounted member fees are available ONLY to ILGC members and are not applicable to guests, family members, etc.
- ILGC was created for today’s busy, globe-trotting golf traveler. Since ILGC is, by definition, a travel benefit for its members, ILGC member discounted play is limited to those “home” golf facilities that are located in cities other than the member’s home city. However, each golf facility in the network may offer the ILGC member discount even in the home city of members. As this is at the discretion of the golf facility ILGC members should contact each course directly for availability and course policy in these instances.
- Each participating home golf facility will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate the tee time booking requests by ILGC members without exception, but members are asked to remember that there will be days and times that the home golf facility may not be available due to the golf course or courses being closed for an event, to address maintenance issues and/or due to inclement weather.
There are two ways ILGC members can reserve tee times: - Members are free to contact any “home” course directly for tee reservations or general inquiries. Contact information for all “home” courses is readily available on the ILGC website under “Starters Hut”.
- Members are welcome to contact ILGC’s “clubhouse” staff for tee time reservations, general inquiries or such ancillary services as hotel, air, or rail arrangements; side-tours; restaurant recommendations; etc. Please refer to the “Member Benefits” clause under the “Membership” section above for details pertaining to ILGC’s Clubhouse Staff, their availability and how to contact them.
Tournaments ALL registration/enrollment for these tournament/events/championships must be made by ILGC members through ILGC at clubstaff@intlinks.com. Each tournament/event will have specified enrollment policy that details required deadline for entry, deposit/payment requirements and cancellation/refund procedures. ILGC members (and in some cases when applicable, their guests) may be required to provide a valid handicap index or golf course handicap for tournament/event participation. Tournament/event entry fees are in addition to ILGC annual membership fees.
