Membership at Old Charlie
Old Charlie is private destination club with a national membership. We expect our members to come from all over and spend a limited amount of time with us each year. In that sense, we're a lot like the club up the road in Georgia. The difference with Old Charlie is that you only pay for the days you're here.
You can join us for just a single day each year if you want. A weekday in the summer will cost you $500 to join and $150 per year. Or you can stay longer, come more often, or bring friends along. Our model gives you the flexibility to create a membership that fits your lifestyle and your budget, and it's affordable enough that just about anyone who loves the game can belong.
See below for a few examples of how you might make it work for you or your group.
-
The only membership category currently available is our Goat Track Society Membership. This is a special membership category reserved for approximately our first five hundred members. GTS members get exclusive perks that won't be available to other membership categories, including special GTS pricing and an invite to our annual GTS Weekend.
Benefits
Every membership reservation with Old Charlie includes all day access for your selected reservation date(s). The initiation fee reserves your spot, and annual dues cover all day golf. Carts, if you care to use them, are included. Sorry, no caddies. It's not that kind of place. Additional benefits for GTS members include:
-
First Access - Reservation Calendar. Reservation dates are selected annually before each season begins. Selection priority is based first on number of reservations purchased, then by purchase timestamp. GTS members will always have first access to the reservation calendar, and every GTS member, regardless of their reservation count, will choose their reservation date(s) before any other membership category.
-
First Access - Pre-opening Events. We'll have a ton of fun before Old Charlie officially opens its doors, and GTS members will have a front row seat. You'll get first access to pre-opening events, both at Old Charlie (construction tours, preview play, etc.), and at other locations (meet & greets, golf outings, chats with design team, etc.).
-
Hole Design Contest Entry. Every founding member will get the chance to design a hole at Old Charlie, and Keith and Riley will choose a winning entry that they will actually incorporate into the golf course design. Entry to the competition comes with your membership.
-
Annual Goat Track Society Weekend. An annual celebration held in honor of our first members, GTS Weekend will be our very first, and very best, annual tradition. The event will include plenty of golf, some amazing swag, and plenty of good vibes.
-
Membership Transfer. Once we've been operational for a full year, GTS members will be allowed to transfer their membership(s), once, to a friend or loved one. It will ensure that our earliest and most important supporters leave a lasting legacy. (see full list of member benefits here)
Pricing
Pricing at Old Charlie works by day. Reserve a day today (a spring weekend, say) and you'll have that spring weekend day available to you every year, for as long as you're a member. The initiation fee below is what you'll pay now (and only this once) to reserve your spot. Dues are assessed only once we're open, and will be invoiced prior to opening day each season.
Any reservation purchased is yours to do what you wish. You can bring different folks every year, and can even send someone in your place if you can't make it.
Important notes:
-
The pricing below is exclusive to GTS members only. Pricing will be higher for other membership categories.
-
Membership does not come with equity, nor is any investment or ownership stake implied as part of this membership purchase offer.
-
Any purchase of four or more reservations earns a discount of $50 on each reservation (unlimited).
-
Active duty and retired military get a $50 per reservation discount (up to three reservations).
-
Dues will be adjusted annually for inflation, but will never increase by more than 5% in any single year.

Purchase Scenarios
Since membership at Old Charlie works a little differently, we've provided some examples below of how we think folks might make it work for them. If none of these scenarios address your specific request or need, check the FAQ or email us at hello@oldcharliegc.com. We're happy to discuss your situation and provide a recommendation.
SOLO SINGLE
Solo player for a single day each year.
CHOOSE at CHECKOUT: 1 reservation total, summer (Jun - Aug) weekday (Tue - Thu).
Notes: you'll have the opportunity to (virtually) meet fellow players ahead of your reservation date. If a match gets set up, great. If you'd rather play alone or see how the day unfolds, that's fine too.
INITIATION FEE PER PERSON:
$500
INITIATION FEE TOTAL: $500
(total due today)
DUES: $150 per reservation
(due annually, but only once we're open)
FOURSOME - DIFFERENT PLAYERS EACH YEAR
You want to come to Old Charlie with three guests for a weekend each winter. Different guests each year.
CHOOSE at CHECKOUT: 8 reservations total, winter (Dec - Feb) weekend (Fri - Sun).
Notes: The reservation you buy today is yours. If you want to use it personally every single time, that's great. But if there's a season you can't make it, you'll be able to send someone in your place. This is the case for any reservation you buy, for any reason. But, no resales above face value, please.
INITIATION FEE PER PERSON:
4 people x 2 days @ $800 ($850-$50) = $6,400
INITIATION FEE TOTAL: $6,400
(total due today)
DUES: $150 per reservation ($1,200 total)
(due annually, but only once we're open)
FOURSOME - SAME PLAYERS EACH YEAR
The regular foursome wants to spend a weekend (2 days) at Old Charlie every winter. They'll probably want to name it something.
CHOOSE at CHECKOUT: 8 reservations total, winter (Dec - Feb) weekend (Fri - Sun).
Notes: You can pay for just yourself today, and we'll invoice your friends. We'll need their email, and they'll have 72 hours to settle up. Choose the split payment option at checkout. This scenario is eligible for the four or more discount.
INITIATION FEE PER PERSON:
2 days @ $800 ($850 - $50) = $1,600
INITIATION FEE TOTAL: $6,400
($1,600 from purchaser due today; can invoice others in group)
DUES: $150 per reservation ($300 pp, $1,200 total)
(due annually, but only once we're open)
LARGER GROUP
Your weekend golf group wants to arrange an annual beach and Old Charlie trip. There are 24 folks in the group, but only 12 will make it each year. You'd like to do a weekend day each summer.
CHOOSE at CHECKOUT: 12 reservations total, summer (Jun - Aug) weekend (Fri - Sun).
Notes: Spread the initiation fee across the larger group and alternate years for your visits.
INITIATION FEE PER PERSON:
12 @ $650 / 24 (total) = $325 (four or more discount applies)
INITIATION FEE TOTAL: $7,800
(total due today)
DUES: $150 per reservation
(due annually, but only once we're open)
