I tried Golf now membership for the past year at $199 for the year. Membership started out moderately beneficial but has gotten worse as the year progressed and they modified policies. Many issues but here are 2 issues. Started the year with the $15 dollar monthly reward for use on hot deals. They reduced this to $10 monthly half way through membership. The other issue I see is with cancelation policies. Cancel a reservation day or more before tee time and many courses just refund you. At Golfnow they apply a credit to your account which is only good for 90 days (tough luck if cancelation was cold weather region and made late in the season). Most concerning is that Hot Deal Cancelation credit can only be used for another Hot Deal reservation. Very limiting on how credit can be applied. Had I reserved directly through course the cost would have been exactly the same even with Hot Deal and would have received full refund for canceling outside 24 hour window. My recommendation is stay clear of GolfNow. Also check out the site and you'll see they make it very difficult to find a phone number to actually speak to someone. This membership is pretty much a scam and I don't expect they'll be around much longer. Certainly won't see me renewing and at least I can post this warning for other golfers.
