Distinguished Clubs Network (DCN) provides verified members of awarded Distinguished Clubs guest access to other awarded Distinguished Clubs and incredible venues around the world, along with VIP invitations to amazing, highly-exclusive events throughout the year.

YOUR OWN PERSONAL LIAISON

Think of DCN as your own personal virtual liaison to hundreds of awarded Distinguished Clubs across the country, and soon globally. Instead of going to your club's management or head golf pro to see if they can reach out to another club for a tee time, dining, or an overnight stay, you'll just open the DCN web-app on your phone, and we'll make that request for you.

VIP ACCESS TO ALL DCN SPECIAL EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR!

As a participating member of DCN, not only will you be invited to attend amazing, highly-exclusive events all through the year, you'll also enjoy significant VIP DCN discounted entry (where attending even one event can offset as much as an entire year of DCN participation!). The first of these events are listed here, with at least 20 more to follow in 2023.

DCN IS THE FIRST MEMBER-TO-MEMBER RECIPROCITY PROGRAM VIA DCN "AMBASSADORS"

When using the DCN web-based "app" to “Check Availability” to play golf at a DCN club, for example, you can either choose to have your tee-time request be considered by that club’s management team, or alternatively — starting in January of 2023 — you can opt to have DCN, on your behalf, reach out to the DCN Ambassadors of that club to see if one of them will welcome you and your companion(s) to play their course as their member guest(s).

Whichever request route you take, all communications and arrangements are managed through DCN’s automated web-based system.

The DCN Ambassador program is slated to launch in January of 2023.

We are currently in the process of securing DCN Ambassadors at Distinguished Clubs across the country so that we will have DCN Ambassadors at over 90% of our clubs on or before January 1st.*

*If you are interested in becoming a DCN Ambassador at your club, please contact us!

When you enroll now, you will immediately get to use many of the features of our web-based app to "Check Availability" by way of direct club management consideration (only access to golf is being temporarily paused until January).

You will also have immediate full access to all exclusive DCN events at significantly discounted entry for participating DCN members (attending even one event can offset as much as an entire year if DCN participation!). Click here to see the growing list of current DCN Ambassador events.

Best of all, if you enroll now and pay your first year for DCN participation, your next annual billing will not be charged until January 1, 2024! Depending on when you pre-enroll, this gives you days, weeks, or even months of free DCN access.

You must be a verified member in “good standing” at an awarded Distinguished Clubs to participate in the Distinguished Clubs Network (DCN).

If you don’t see a club in the DCN webapp that you see on the list of awarded Distinguished Clubs, reasons may include:

The club is a newly awarded Distinguished Club and we are in the process of putting it on network.
The club asked to be taken off the network.
The club did not qualify to retain its Distinguished Club status.

As part of the DCN enrollment process, DCN requests member verification from management at the member's specified "Home" club. When your membership is verified by club staff, your participation in DCN is finalized. Until your membership at the club you specify is verified, you will not be able to use the DCN webapp to Check Availability at any Distinguished Club.

Each club has established specific criteria for when they consider welcoming the fine members from other DCN-participating Distinguished Clubs. When a club's management is involved, they will ensure such guest visits will never conflict with club events or your enjoyment of your club.

If you wish to enroll in DCN, simply click the "Enroll now!" button, and follow the instructions as presented. When prompted, make sure to select the awarded Distinguished Club that you are a verified member of. This will be your "Home" club.

The participation fee is $395 per year with automatic renewal.

Yes. You can cancel anytime upon request.

Yes, there will be a rejoining fee of $350.

All requests to visit a DCN club must only be submitted through the "CHECK AVAILABILITY" process from within the DCN webapp. Please do not call the club directly.

No. Please do not contact the club directly regarding any visitation inquiries. All communication between you and any DCN club must go through the DCN webapp and DCN email system only.

While each Distinguished Club has its own individual policy on hosting participating members of DCN, two visits per calendar year per club is typically the visitation limit.

DCN is not a travel booking site like Travelocity® or Kayak.com® that access an inventory of known available dates and times that you can secure near immediately. Instead, when explicit club management approval or Ambassador acceptance is required for your DCN “guest” visit, it may take some time. Accordingly, it is very important to plan early and allow several days to hear back from a club.

When you direct DCN to "Check Availability" so that your visitation request is considered directly by that club’s management team, they will assess how your visit might impact the enjoyment of that club’s members.

As a member of an elite private club yourself, you know that management must always make sure that outside guests do not infringe on your personal member experience. Accordingly, the best way to increase the likelihood that your visitation request(s) are granted is to avoid holidays, other known busy club days, and “prime times” generally.

On the other hand, if you select to route your visitation request(s) using the DCN Ambassador program, these requests do not inherently involve the management of the club that you wish to visit, so acceptance of your visit depends only on the availability of one of the DCN Ambassadors at that club to "host" you (and your companions) as their accompanied member guest(s).

Yes. However, you can only bring two additional people with you when you request a tee time via the DCN Ambassador program, as the Ambassador will count as the fourth in your golf party, and your group will be that Ambassador's accompanied guests.
