Dear Open Fairways friend,
We are very pleased to bring you our most updated newsletter, outlining the activities of Open Fairways in Asia and Australia as well as highlighting the developments of the ever expanding Open Fairways offering.
Asia and Australia have embraced the Open Fairways service offering with enthusiasm, and we are absolutely delighted to gradually expand our offering to carefully selected partner clubs throughout the region and, indeed, the world.
Open Fairways unique, yet simple formula gives you as a member unsurpassed opportunities to sample and play the most prestigious golf clubs at up to 50% discount. And bring three friends every time you play who equally enjoy the very same privileges as the Open Fairways member.
The flexibility that comes with an Open Fairways membership is every golfer’s dream. Many of our most dedicated and enthusiastic members use Open Fairways to complement their home club membership and, as such, are able to get the best of both world’s.
Your membership pays for itself in only a few rounds of golf and the rest of the savings throughout the full year of your membership is – all yours!
We are at your disposal to serve anyone you may wish to recommend for their very own Open Fairways membership.
This newsletter brings you the updates you need to be aware of to use your Open Fairways membership to its fullest.
Enjoy the world of Open Fairways where ever you wish to play on our 1500+ partner courses!
