Rating: 5, I love it! State:Maine Age Range: 50-59 Years as a member: 1 Year % of rounds played at Links Card courses: 100% of the time Estimated Annual Savings: Pros: The card gives you savings on rounds and many other things. Hotels, airline tickets, food and beverage as well. What is the best part I believe is, the opportunity to travel and play other courses. It's a great thing for women golfers as well. Nothing wrong with seeing other things, while playing. Cons: I simply cant find any as it relates to my experiences golfing with the card. Can you use it everywhere no, but you can play courses, that you never would before

Rating: 5, I love it! State:New Hampshire Age Range: 50-59 Years as a member: 3 Years % of rounds played at Links Card courses: 75% of the time Estimated Annual Savings: Pros: The card has given me the chance to play many different courses. At time I have used it for discounts on equipment. The card always pays for itsel Cons: With some of the courses the time restrictions can be difficult

Rating: 5, I love it! State:Vermont Age Range: 70+ Years as a member: 5 Years % of rounds played at Links Card courses: 50% of the time Estimated Annual Savings: Pros: The BEST part of the Links Card is the ability to play different courses that you may not even think of playing and then when you do play really enjoy the experience. Going to see how different "tracks" are laid out and how the designers developed their concepts is one of the real essences of golf as a sport. You experience all the beauty, frustration, and accomplishment by playing these different courses. Locking you in to one club/course is fine and wonderful but expanding your horizons is so much more enjoyable. Cons: None-you have nothing to lose as after the first 2-3 rounds it pays for itself and you have enjoyed 2 different courses.

Rating: 3 State:Maine Age Range: 70+ Years as a member: 4 Years % of rounds played at Links Card courses: 75% of the time Estimated Annual Savings: Pros: Very reasonable rates especially when buying in bulk. There are only a few restrictions, such as play on Mon. thru Thurs. which is not problem for me and my buddies who are mostly all retired. Cards are mailed out in a timely manner. I am always sent a reminder email as the new cards go on sale. Cons: My buddies and I were very disappointed this year as so many courses are no longer participating in the program. Many of them were some of our favorite courses nearby. I bought 4 cards last Fall which showed these courses as participants, only to find out that they had dropped out. After asking one course Superintendent why he was not participating, he said that The Links Card was "placing too many demands on his business", whatever that meant!!?? We are still using our Card at the remaining courses that participate, but it doesn't seem to be as good a value as it once was!

Rating: 4 State:New Hampshire Age Range: 60-69 Years as a member: 5 Years % of rounds played at Links Card courses: 75% of the time Estimated Annual Savings: Pros: Reduced cost at a variety of courses. In retirement I look for anyway to reduce my playing costs and the ease of use. Cons: Starting this year I noticed the rates are higher and the deductions have been reduced.

Rating: 5, I love it! State:Florida Age Range: 70+ Years as a member: 14 Years % of rounds played at Links Card courses: 25% of the time Estimated Annual Savings: Pros: We get to play great golf courses at reduced rates, particularly when we travel to our Vermont home in the summer. It also enables us to play different courses at other nearby states during our travels. Cons: The only cons I can think of is that the times you can use the card are limited. Each course has their own schedules so you need to carefully check before making a tee time.

Rating: 5, I love it! State:Maine Age Range: 60-69 Years as a member: 6 Years % of rounds played at Links Card courses: 75% of the time Estimated Annual Savings: Pros: The savings! Golf is expensive. Greens fees and cart rentals add up. The Links Card is a great way to enjoy golf AND save some money. It also allows me the opportunity to experience other courses I might not otherwise try. Using the Links Card is quick, easy, and cost-saving! Cons: The only con I can see right now is that the number of courses signing on with The Links Card is limited here in Maine. I am hopefully that more will see that joining The Links Card expands their audiences.

Rating: 4 State:New Hampshire Age Range: 70+ Years as a member: 4 Years % of rounds played at Links Card courses: 75% of the time Estimated Annual Savings: Pros: The main reason I have employed the Links Card is to obtain reduced green fees.

State:Vermont Age Range: 50-59 Years as a member: 3 Years % of rounds played at Links Card courses: 100% of the time Estimated Annual Savings: Pros: I can golf after 3pm for $22 dollars w a cart at Bellows Falls.

It makes golf affordable. Cons: I havent really discovered any cons yet. I guess that the discounts being available after 3 is the only drawback. Otherwise I have no problems .

Rating: 5, I love it! State:Vermont Age Range: 60-69 Years as a member: 5 Years % of rounds played at Links Card courses: 50% of the time Estimated Annual Savings: Pros: Lots of great courses to choose from and it motivates us to take road trips to these courses around the state and occasionally in nearby states. Pays for itself in just one or two rounds. Discovered some courses we may not have gone to otherwise. Cons: Not aware of any cons to the links card except there are a few higher end courses I would love to go to that aren't yet included in the card yet. I do not see that as a true con as the choices do include a number of the higher end courses I would like to play.

Rating: 5, I love it! State:Massachusetts Age Range: 70+ Years as a member: 7 Years % of rounds played at Links Card courses: 25% of the time Estimated Annual Savings: Pros: The pros of the Links Card are the reasons that we and our golfing friends in New England purchase the card annually. As listed below, the pros are benefits that we all enjoy no matter where we meet up for golf in New England. This was a great tip that one of our friends passed around to our golfing group years ago. We always check the prices and availability on the Links courses and make our choices from there. We have never been disappointed. Pros: -Great courses to choose from -Carts are included -No hidden costs -The staff that honor the Links Card have been most gracious and helpful. Other golf discount cards include courses that the staff impart resentment to "discounts." -The ability to purchase cards at a discount at certain times of the year. Cons: The cons are not too many. Cons: - No restricted times in most courses -Would like to see more courses in the Boston area -Would also like to see the card available in the southwest (Arizona ). Many people winter in warmer states.
