When you’re looking for a golf game, how many times have you heard, “We’ll try to fit you in”? You won’t hear that at
Willoughby. Getting a golf game here is easy whether you’ve been a member for 10 years or
you just joined, whether you’re a 6 or a 26 handicap, whether you play 18 holes or 9. We
don’t “fit” people in, we “welcome” people in.
The reasons for this are both attitudinal and practical. Attitudinally, our core beliefs are built
around friendship and community. On the golf course, what this means is that instead of
facing an endless line of fixed foursomes, you’ll find existing members and a friendly staff
eager to help you find a game. The framework for setting up games is relaxed, not rigid. The
motivating attitude is inclusive, not exclusive.
On the practical side, the Golf Shop regularly assists members, particularly new members,
in setting up games. Just ask and they will work on your behalf. In addition, the Starter, who
keeps track of each group and their tee time, is continuously matching threesomes needing a fourth with singles needing a game.
And, in larger groups of 12-16 players, the member in charge always alerts the Starter to the need for additional players. So
connecting the group that is seeking with the player who is looking before the tee time is easy.
At Willoughby we believe that golf is a great game, but a game nonetheless. It should be enjoyed, not endured. And, we believe
getting a game for a member should be easy. Because, at its core, Willoughby is a private golf club community, not just a private
golf club.
