What is Nineteenth Club?
Nineteenth Club is a global, invitation-only golf club for people in business. Every member is reviewed by a committee, The Draw suggests considered foursomes, and a no-pitch guarantee keeps rounds relaxed. Its mission is to make the world a more business-friendly place, one round at a time.
Read about the club, its mission and how it is governed, or see short answers to the questions people ask most.
A club, not a network.
Founders, investors, sales leaders, directors and partners who would rather build a relationship on a course than on a call. The room stays small because it is curated.
Reviewed members
Every member is checked against their LinkedIn profile before they are admitted. You know who is on the tee.
Considered foursomes
The Draw pairs members by how they play and what they want from a round, then finds a course and a time that suit everyone.
Nothing for sale
No paid introductions, no sponsored placement, no hard selling. A round is a round.
What members get.
Membership is free during the founding period, and the benefits are plain. We do not publish member numbers, logos or testimonials.
Peer introductions
Meet founders, investors and executives who were reviewed before they joined, so you know who is on the tee.
Curated foursomes
The Draw matches handicap, pace, goals and a free morning, then picks a course that suits the whole group.
A global course guide
About 500 of the world's best-known courses, our own curation rather than an official ranking, with honest labels on every estimate.
A no-pitch guarantee
Members agree not to sell to each other. Messages are checked for pitches and the committee acts on reports.
Rules members run
Invites, the business-talk line and how votes work are all rules that members can change by vote.
Nothing to buy
Dues pay for running the club, in the open. There is no paid placement, paid introduction or sponsored access, and admission is never for sale.
The Draw.
Each week the club draws foursomes from its members: similar handicaps, compatible pace, goals that line up, and a shared free morning.
- Matched on handicap, pace, goals and role, never on who pays
- A course chosen to suit the whole group, with travel time shared fairly
- The Ledger keeps a record of who you have played with
Why this foursome
"Both of you play to a 12 to 16, both prefer to walk, and you each want a partnership conversation. The course is 18 minutes from each of you."
Illustration of how a suggestion reads.
No pitch, guaranteed.
Members agree to it on the way in. No decks, no asks on the first tee, no selling to the group. If it happens, the club asks members to tell the committee, who will act. By default, business conversation waits for the 19th hole, after the round, and members can change that rule by vote.
No pitch No pay to play No paid introductions No sponsored access
A club that plays everywhere.
Nineteenth Club documents about 500 of the world's best-known golf courses in more than 50 countries. It is our own curation, not an official ranking, and details are estimates until the committee verifies them.

Questions.
What is Nineteenth Club?
Nineteenth Club is a global, invitation-only golf club for people in business. Every member is reviewed by a committee, The Draw suggests considered foursomes, and a no-pitch guarantee keeps rounds relaxed. Its mission is to make the world a more business-friendly place, one round at a time.
How do I join Nineteenth Club?
Membership is by invitation or application. Enter an invite code from a current member and you are admitted at once, or apply as a Founding Member with your LinkedIn profile and the membership committee reviews it and replies by email. Everyone agrees to the no-pitch guarantee first. There is no public sign-up.
How much does Nineteenth Club cost?
Membership is free during the founding period, until 30 June 2027 or the 500th member, whichever comes first. After that Standard is $249 a year, Rising is $99 for members under 30 or early in their careers, and Founding members keep $149 locked in. Patron is an optional gift. Access is never for sale.
What is the no-pitch rule?
Every member agrees not to sell to, solicit or pitch anyone else in the club, whether on the course or in messages. Messages are checked automatically for sales pitches, and the committee reviews anything flagged. It is a condition of membership, and breaking it can end a membership.
When can members talk business?
By default, business conversation is welcome only at the 19th hole, after the round. Pitching is never welcome at any point. Members set this rule by vote, so the club can move the line to the turn or the first tee if its members decide to change it.
How does The Draw work?
Each week The Draw suggests foursomes from the club's members, matching handicap, pace of play, goals, role and a shared free morning. It then chooses a course that suits the whole group and shares travel time fairly. Every suggestion explains why that foursome was chosen, and members decide whether to play.
Which golf courses are included?
The course guide documents about 500 of the world's best-known courses, from St Andrews to Pebble Beach to Royal Melbourne. It is our own curation, not an official ranking. Details such as par and yardage are estimates until the committee verifies them, and members can add any other course.
Is Nineteenth Club global?
Yes. Nineteenth Club is a global club. Members choose a home city from more than 140 metro areas on six continents, and the course guide covers more than 50 countries. Pick your city when you join and The Draw suggests courses and foursomes near you, using your local time zone.
