BENEFITS
OF JOINING
THE CLUB
T
he Players Club
offers members a
slew of benefits that
will not only save you
money on your green
fees, but will also help
you improve your
golf game.
And with the new
Amped membership,
players can extend
those benefits
beyond their home
course to numerous
other American Golf-
managed properties.
The cost to join The
Players Club is $29.99
or $39.99, depending
on the course, and
includes benefits such
as daily range credit,
access to free clinics,
and cart fee-only golf
after certain times.
The program is
available at nearly
two dozen Southern
California courses.

week, at the guaranteed lowest rate."
Kimberling cited Coyote Hills Golf
Course as an example. While the rack rate
for a weekday round is $75 at the
Fullerton course, The Players Club
Amped members can reserve a tee time
for just $35 on a weekday before noon. He
said the program could expand to include
discounted access to a handful of courses
outside the American Golf family, and
feels that the Amped offering was a
natural extension of the incredibly
popular Players Club, which was first
launched in 2014.
"We've had a lot of success with The
Players Club," Kimberling said. "We
established it at nearly 50 golf courses
across the country – and as we did that,
we began to look at what the next phase
would be, and we started to develop The
Players Club Amped."
The Amped program essentially gives
members access to more tee times at more
golf courses at rates that allow them to
spend more time on the fairways and
greens.
"The golf industry is always trying to
figure out how to engage golfers and
attract new ones," Kimberling said, "so
we asked ourselves, 'How do we come up
with a program that makes the game of
golf more accessible?'
"We tried to make it as easy as possible
to participate. It's all done online so it's a
pretty smooth, streamlined system and
encourages people to play golf as much
as they would like."
A couple of other notable changes to
The Players Club offerings have recently
been implemented at American Golf-
managed courses in Southern California.
At Arcadia Golf Course, an 18-hole
par-3 layout with lights for night golf and
an expansive practice area, the monthly
fee for The Players Club membership is
going to be reduced from $39.99 to $29.99.
Casta del Sol Golf Course in Mission
Viejo began offering The Players Club
May 1. For a $19.99 monthly fee, players
receive deep savings on green fees, with
weekday rates of $18 with cart and super
twilight rates of $5 seven days a week.
"I was a part of The Players Club launch
at Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course in
Irvine a few years ago and witnessed first-
hand the benefits of the program for
golfers, our team members and the course
itself," said Jose Farfan, the General
Manager of Casta del Sol. "Casta del Sol's
guests are part of a tight-knit community,
and this membership will only help
strengthen the bond that our golfers and
team members have with the course."
