Yes, that’s right - a free round of golf,free lunch and free range balls. There are no restrictions on what type of golf round is played (18-hole or twilight, Monday through Sunday),

The “free golf” day MUST take place on the golfer’s birthday and is subject to tee time availability. It must be noted that this is free golf on your birthday; it is not a free birthday round to be used any time of the year. Even if there is a tournament on your birthday there are always a couple of tee times available at some point on that day and
the golfer is entitled to use one of those.

In addition, each birthday golfer is entitled to bring up to 11 guests at our Club Member rate. Go ahead and make it a party!
