How would you pay? It's always charged to the member's account. You can't pay cash or bring a credit card.


Clubs can take credit cards.

Many do not


You still need to give them your member number for the bill.

Unless it's an ultra exclusive club, no GM is going to turn you away.


Yes, in fact they will.

Lol. No not true. And no you can’t sneak in. You put your meal in your club number.

I am in the Midwest at a very local CC and you can’t do this. If you just want to eat and go to the pool, we have social memberships.

Our VA CC requires a member number before you order.

This was my first reaction. Why on earth?


Proximity and convenience when visiting family who live near one, with very limited dining options nearby.


Then you know the club you wish to patronize so let’s hear it and we will let you know.

I regularly pay by card. I think I maybe the only one, but I've been a member for 15 years. I like the cash back - I'm cheap.

That's awesome, I honestly wish my club would allow that. With all the cash back, the dues practically pay themselves!


Just ask. Seriously, my club prefers payment by number and I never see anyone else doing this.

I’ve never heard of a non member being able to go in and dine.

Maybe that’s specific to Golf Courses not Country Clubs?
