Work your connections. If you are businessman and do a lot of travelling, you may know somebody or work with a company that has connections at exclusive golf courses. Work a deal with them that will offer them first refusal on something of yours they may covet. For example, if you are a sports collector and your associate has access to a round of golf at Augusta, wouldn't it be worth it to trade one Willie Mays-signed baseball (you have two others) to play at this legendary course? The point is that you have to be creative and willing to deal if you want to play on dream courses.

Call the golf courses. Pebble Beach in California and Bethpage Black in New York may have both hosted the U.S. Open, but they are both public golf courses. That does not mean they are easy to get on. Pebble Beach charges $400 per round and you have to make your reservations weeks in advance. Bethpage Black is one of the most popular golf courses on the East Coast and is one of the most challenging and difficult golf courses in the United States. It takes diligence and effort to get on these courses, but it is possible.

Make reservations for a golf vacation and stay at an exclusive resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Myrtle Beach is one of the most popular golf destinations in the United States and is home to several exclusive golf courses that non-members usually can't get on. However, if you stay at an affiliated resort, you will be able to gain access to clubs like Grande Dunes and Pine Lakes Country Club.

Make friends with high-profile golfers who have access to the top clubs in your region. It may sound a bit manipulative, but if you want to play a great course like Batusrol in New Jersey, the only chance you have is being a guest of a member. The club will not allow public golfers to walk on. However, if you are a member's invited guest you will get access to this stunning course and all its creature comforts.
