The UGP Team
The idea for UGP came from my firsthand experience as a private club member. While I joined my club for the benefits of tee-time access and reciprocal play at other clubs, I quickly discovered how limited traditional reciprocal programs really were. Our club had agreements with only ten other clubs - five of which were local, and each club offered just one tee time per week. With hundreds of members competing for those spots, meaningful reciprocal access was nearly impossible. After almost four years of membership, I had only played six reciprocal rounds away from my home club. This experience highlighted a significant problem: reciprocal programs were underutilized, frustrating members and leaving clubs with untapped revenue opportunities.
I founded Ultimate Golf Perks to change that. UGP is designed to streamline and modernize reciprocal golf, making it easier for members to access quality rounds, simpler for clubs to manage bookings, and more valuable for both parties. By removing administrative barriers and expanding meaningful reciprocal opportunities, UGP transforms what was once an underused perk into a premium member benefit that drives satisfaction and incremental revenue.
