Q&A: What does a reciprocal mean with private golf courses?

QUESTION:
Is it cheaper rates as a guest or completely free golf when you trade a round with someone at your own club?

ANSWER:

Answer by Michael W
I believe that this golf club has reciprocal agreements with other courses. You probably need to check this agreement with the course where you are a member. It could be a reduced rate, but I believe that it would be a trade. Identify the course you want to visit by name and ask what specific arrangement your club has with theirs. The reciprocal part of the statement basically means, the other party will honor an agreement or rate in the same manner as your party. i.e. if Golf course A lets visitors from Course B golf for free, then Course B would allow a free round for a visitor from Course A.
