Family memberships extend coverage to unmarried children through age 24. Acquisition channels include online tee time booking via the foreUP third-party platform, phone reservations, walk-in play, in-person membership tours, an email club signup funnel, social media, and word-of-mouth.

The technology stack is commodity: foreUP booking software, Google/iCalendar/Outlook event subscription integrations, email club communications, and a WordPress-based website. There is no proprietary platform, no AI/ML capability, no mobile app, no API surface, and no disclosed data assets. Customer segments span individual/family golfers, daily fee guests, active-duty military and first responders, juniors and students, and social/clubhouse members (including complimentary Maple Ridge homeowners).
