There are several ways you can get a free drink at a golf course these days. But, to get VIP treatment at a tournament, you have to commit to playing at least twice in a month.
Here’s how to get VIP Clubs – and how to get them in Golf Battle – so you can drink and play alongside the pros.

Make A Plan
The first step to booking a coveted spot in a golf tournament is to make a plan. This is especially important if you’re going to be travelling to another country. Most likely, you’ll need to make several plans – at least several weeks in advance – to make sure everything goes according to plan.
For instance, if you’re going to be in Australia during the winter, you’ll probably want to schedule your rounds in the summer. Most courses in Australia close in the winter, and it’s much harder to play then. So, make sure you check the opening hours of the different courses before you book your rounds.
Also, find out what kind of dress code the course imposes. Most courses will have a strict dress code, and you don’t want to ruin your chances of getting a free drink by showing up in the wrong attire. Always check the attire for men and women before you make the journey to the course. Especially important in countries where there is a difference in attire between the two genders. For example, in Saudi Arabia men are required to wear long pants and long-sleeve shirts while women are required to wear a headscarf and abaya.
Research The Course
Once you’ve booked your dates, it’s time to start researching the course. This is especially important if you have never been there before, or if it’s somewhere you’ve never played. Researching the course will give you an idea of what to expect – both good and bad – and will help you make the most of your round. Also, take time to read reviews on the site of the golf course you’re planning to play. This will give you an idea of other players’ experiences there and whether or not it’s a good course for beginners or intermediates.
Book Your Room
After you’ve booked your course, it’s time to reserve your room at the hotel. Most likely, you’ll want to stay in a 4- or 5-star hotel, but it doesn’t have to be expensive. Just make sure you book your room well in advance so you can be sure you get the date you want. Also, don’t forget the little things, like whether or not you want a window, and whether or not you want a view. These things can make a big difference in your stay.
Travel To The Course
Once you’ve booked your room, it’s time to make the journey to the course. Depending on where you’ll be staying, this might be easy or difficult. If you’ll be driving to the course, make sure you leave enough time to arrive. Also, find out what kind of parking facilities are available at the course. Sometimes, they’re free, and sometimes, they’re not. Especially if there is no designated parking spot, you might have to pay for parking. The best way to find out is to call the course’s administration office and ask. They will most likely have all the information you need, including the cost of parking. Also, if you’re driving, make sure you pack your ID card. Most likely, you’ll need it to get into the club house or at the course’s gate. If you don’t have it, they will most likely ask you for it. Another important thing to bring is your wardrobe. Depending on the climate, it can be warm or cold. So, you might want to bring different clothing items, like a tie-waist dress, a sweater, and a blazer. For women, it’s important to bring a headscarf or a handbag. If you don’t have either of these items with you, you’ll most likely not be allowed to play. Finally, make sure you bring something to entertain yourself. Whether or not you play golf, it can be boring waiting for other people to finish their game. Bring along your phone or tablet and book clubbing tickets or download a few games to play on the go.
Once you’re at the course, walk to the clubhouse. Most likely, you’ll have to check in at the desk or at one of the gateways there. Make sure you bring your ID card, and if this is your first time there, they will ask you for your signature on a waiver. If everything goes well, you’ll be brought to the restaurant or bar where you can get your drink. If you stay at a luxury hotel, you’ll be picked up by a golf cart and driven to your golf cart. Most courses will have at least three or four restaurants and bars inside the clubhouse, as well as a pool room. If you stay at a luxury hotel, there will be more than one place you can get a drink. If you’re not staying at a luxury hotel and still want a drink, you’ll have to walk to the first tee box and get a drink there. When you return from the tee box, you’ll have to walk to the next tee box and get a drink there. This will continue all the way to the 18th green. Unless, of course, you want to walk back to the clubhouse and get a drink there. After you’ve gotten your drink, it’s time to walk to your golf cart and have your rounds. Remember, when you play on a golf course with a VIP club, you’ll be expected to tip the caddie. Usually, this is between $10 and $20 per round. You’ll also be expected to tip the people who look after your golf club’s interests. These people might be standing by the pool or at the snack bar. Sometimes, they’ll even show you where the best spots are to eat or park.
Have Fun
Golf is a sport that can be a lot of fun, but it’s also a lot of work. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll have a blast playing it. After you’ve booked your vacation to the golf course, take some time to have fun. Go to the bar and get a drink, or go to the restaurant and enjoy a meal. If there’s something you want to do in the area, such as visit museums or go to the theatre, you can plan your trip around those extra activities. Have fun, but make sure you get your workouts in too. It’s important to stay active on your trip, so you can better enjoy yourself. You’re on vacation, after all.
Now that you’re equipped with the know-how to get VIP clubs at golf courses worldwide, you can begin planning your next vacation to a luxury destination. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to knock one back with the pros while you’re there?
