Jason Dufner, a 5-time PGA Tour Winner and 2013 PGA Champion, is originally from Cleveland’s westside and grew up playing many of the same local courses that you and other Northeast Ohio golfers still play today.

Recently, Jason Dufner took some time to sit down and discuss his professional career, golf’s challenges and why he is a believer in and supporter of The Fairways Membership.
When can I use my Fairways Membership?
Your Fairways Membership can be used from the time you join through all of 2021. Even better, there are no time restrictions when it comes to using your membership. That means you can play as much golf as you want to, regardless of day or time. That includes both weekends and holidays, too!
The only time you cannot use your Fairways Membership is for golf league and/or outing play. Those groups contract out tee times (at an agreed-upon price) much further in advance than other members and the general public may reserve tee times.
Tee times are available up to 14-days in advance and can be made online, via the Fairways Golf Mobile App, over the phone or in-person at any Fairways Member Course.
How much will I save as a Fairways Member?
When it comes to your Fairways Membership and the amount you save, it is ultimately up to you. On average, you will save $30 for each weekend, 18-hole round and $25 for each weekday, 18-hole round. With your membership valid for all of 2020 and 2021 without time restrictions, there is no limit to how much you will save as a member.
There are also additional savings available exclusively to members, such as:
How do I receive my Membership Card and use it?

When you join online, you can select to either have your Member Card shipped to you or available for pick-up at Mallard Creek Golf Club in the pro shop. If you do select to have the card shipped to you, it will be created and placed in the mail the same day you join.
If you would like to use your membership before receiving your card, just bring a photo ID with you to the course and we can then cross-check our records. That means there is no need to wait to receive access to unlimited golf when you join online now!
Once you have your Member Card, you just need to bring that with you to the course when checking in at the pro shop. Simply show your card to the pro shop staff member and enjoy your round of golf without having to pay for your greens fees!

What are the courses like?
As a 2020 & 2021 Fairways Member, you will have access to unlimited golf at Mallard Creek, Pine Brook, Briarwood and Hinckley Hills Golf Clubs. Each Fairways Member Courses provides you with a fantastic round every time you tee it up.
And with four courses, your Fairways Membership gives you access to unbeatable variety on top of the already unbelievable value!
From Mallard Creek’s sprawling layout where you can tee it high and let it fly to Briarwood’s undulating greens, Hinckley Hills demand for accuracy off the tee to Pine Brook’s thought provoking layout, each course boats its own character and challenges.

While variety may be a large part of what makes The 2020 & 2021 Fairways Membership Ohio’s best golf value, it is the things that are the same at all of the courses which make your membership a worthwhile investment.

Both Mallard Creek and Briarwood are open year round. Pine Brook and Hinckley Hills open for the season at the earliest possible date and close soon after winter weather arrives.
During the season, all of the courses are open from sunup to sundown to meet all of your golfing needs.
Tee times are not cutoff after a certain time in the afternoon – we are at the courses until after dark and happy to allow you play as much as you want to when it fits your schedule.
Can I use my Fairways Membership for golf leagues and/or outings?
The only time that you cannot use your Fairways Membership is during league and outing play. This is due to the fact that leagues and outings book standing tee times throughout the season much further in advance than others have the ability to reserve tee times.
However, many of our current league and outing golfers do have The Fairways Membership as they can use it for 9-holes before or after their event and any other time they would like to play. If you play in a league or outing at any of our Member Courses, The Fairways Membership still offers an unbeatable value and allows you to make the most of your golf seasons!
What other costs are associated with The Fairways Membership?
Beyond access to unlimited golf without time restrictions at four great courses, one of the best things about The Fairways Membership is that there are no annual dues, monthly minimums, hidden fees or additional costs associated. Instead, the only cost beyond joining The 2020 & 2021 Fairways Membership is that of your mandatory cart fees. Cart fees are $8 per 9-hole round and $16 per 18-hole round.
Pro Tip: Cart fees are less if you purchase Cart Cards. Click here to learn more about Cart Cards and the added savings.
Yes, you read that correctly. As a 2020 & 2021 Fairways Member, your golf will cost less than $1 per hole for the next two seasons!

How many membership spots are available?

In the instance that a member cannot use their membership due to extenuating circumstances, we are able to do any of the following to help:
Option 1 – We can transfer the membership to another, non-current member for the remainder of the membership period. Prior to transferring the membership, we simply require the membership card prior to providing a new one to the new member.
