Controlled Reciprocal Access
Predictable Access For Members. Complete Control For Clubs.
Providing reciprocal golf shouldn't mean giving up control of your tee sheet.
That's why every reciprocal tee time within the UGP Network follows a structured booking timeline designed to balance member value with complete operational flexibility.
Your club chooses when reciprocal tee times are available. UGP manages the booking process. If a tee time remains unused, it is automatically returned to your club before the final week of play.
Simple. Predictable. Completely automated.

Your club does.
Protecting Member Access
The Tee Time Protection Model was built around a members-first philosophy.
By returning unfilled inventory to the club seven days prior to play, clubs retain flexibility to prioritize:
-
Member bookings
-
Traditional reciprocal requests
-
Member guests
-
Club competitions
-
Interclub matches
-
Club events
This model ensures those tee times are back on the tee sheet in time to be included in member lotteries and draws, with no disruption to member access.
