2021 Membership Plans, Game Packs & More

When Matt Jennings acquired Cherokee Valley in 2017 and rolled out a new, flexible form of golf club membership, it raised more than a few eyebrows.

After all, private clubs traditionally required up-front initiation fees, hefty monthly dues and food and beverage minimums. Conversely, daily fee courses treated golfers like customers experiencing a product, not like valued guests.

Surely, Jennings theorized, there was a hybrid model that better served the needs of the modern golfer.

Alas, Cherokee Valley’s membership plans were born, creating an inclusive, family-focused club that also offered tee times and private-club caliber service to non-members.

Membership requires no initiation fee, no food and beverage minimums or assessments, and monthly dues are well-below private club levels. Five value-packed membership plans are designed for today’s modern lifestyle, each requiring only a one-year agreement.

And what’s more, Cherokee Valley’s popular Business Flex has also been renewed for 2021, offering companies of various sizes a venue for bonding with clients and employees. 

“To grow the game and retain golfers we have to mold memberships around the realities of today’s busy and unpredictable lifestyles and not vice versa,” Jennings says. “Families, singles and business owners all need and appreciate freedom, flexibility and value. Our membership plans are engineered to deliver these elements.”

Just announced, here’s an overview of Cherokee Valley’s Family, Individual and Business Membership Plans for 2021, as well as multi-round Game Packs and Range Packs that make for great holiday gifts.

Family & Individual Memberships

Cherokee Valley’s Platinum Membership continues to be one of the best values in the Upstate. At $210, monthly, for families and $173.25 for singles, it features full access to golf, the resort-style pool, golf training facility and spacious practice range. Use of neighboring North Greenville University’s (NGU co-op) fitness center and reduced rates for select sporting and special events are also included.

The Gold Membership ($183.75, $152.25) is perfect for golf purists, extending seven-day-a-week access to golf, while the Silver Membership ($131.25 / $105) includes unlimited golf on Saturdays and Sundays. Ideal for busy professionals 35 and under, the Young Professional Membership ($141.75) offers full weekday and weekend access.

The Sport Adventure Membership ($105, $91.35) grants unlimited use of the training facility (with fitness equipment), two rounds of golf monthly and NGU co-op and pool access.

A popular and convenient addition to any membership, Cart Plans run $131.25 monthly for a family or $110.25 for a single, giving members unlimited use of Cherokee Valley’s fleet of golf carts.

The club recently took delivery of 35 new E-Z-GO RXV golf carts and will be receiving 20 more once the new golf shop and storage facility opens along with Core 450.

JBL mounted Bluetooth speakers at the base of the windshield pair with your phone for streaming music or sports broadcasts while playing. The RXV carts also feature E-Z-GO’s award-winning TFM GPS system mounted just under the roof.

The TFM touchscreens pop with vibrant, high-def hole diagrams and pin-point accurate yards to fairway landing areas, hazards and pin placements, taking the guesswork out of club selection.

Cherokee Valley residents who own their own golf carts can buy a Trail Plan ($105, $88.20) for unlimited use of their vehicle at the golf course (subject to approval).

Business Flex Plan

In 2020, the Business Flex Pass emerged as an innovative full-service entertainment, networking and team-building solution for companies of all sizes.

It’s loaded with benefits: two (foursome) tee times per month (golf cart and range balls included), 10% off golf shop merchandise and a “Partners Tab” with hyperlink on the Cherokee Valley website.

With socially distanced meetings in mind, it also includes private access to our event center or event space on the driving range, personalized outing with golf and cart included (up to 16 guests) and four business NGU sport passes, all for $218.75 a month

Game and Range Packs

With Cherokee Valley’s Game Packs, you can actually give the gift of golf in nine- and 18-hole increments this holiday season.

Ten and 20 round packs are available featuring substantial savings; the 10-round 18-hole Game Pack includes one free round, and the 20-round 18-hole pack includes two.

For golfers who love working on their game, the 10- and 20-bag Range Packs also make perfect gifts -- or additions -- to Game Packs, providing the ultimate in value, convenience and game improvement.
