Pick the format you’d like to play in.

First drink’s on us, every round.

02How it works
One

Apply.

Three minutes. Tell us who you are and which format you’d like. We read every application by hand — you’ll hear back inside 48 hours.

Two

Get pinged.

Once you’re in, every Wednesday we drop the week's invites — Saturday 10 AM at Anaheim Hills, Saturday 1 PM at Coyote Hills, plus any bonus weekday rounds at Brea Creek. Reply IN to confirm or PASS to skip. We hand-build foursomes — not the algorithm.

Three

Play eighteen.

Saturday at one of two real courses. Three new people. Drinks at the bar after. First drink’s on us — or peel off at the turn.

04The premise

What we’re after.

Saturday afternoon used to be a place. Somewhere between brunch and whatever’s on at nine. We’ve mostly given it up to the couch, the phone, the algorithm. Double Pars is a small attempt at getting it back.

You apply. We pair you with three strangers worth meeting. You walk eighteen on a real course, then head to the bar — or home before dinner, if that’s the day you’re having. If the foursome’s feeling it, first drink’s on us.

A double par is a bad score. We’re named for the idea that you don’t need to be good at this. You just have to show up.

05The fine print

Questions, answered briefly.

Do I have to be good?+

No. We pair by attitude, not handicap. We’ve had foursomes where three people had never broken 100 and one had never held a club. That round, by all accounts, went great.

Why apply? Why not just sign up?+

Because the foursome is the product. We read every application and hand-pair groups of four people who’ll have a great conversation between shots — and, with a little luck, build relationships and friendships that last well past the eighteenth hole.

What does it cost?+

Free to apply. Once approved, Vol. I founding 50 picks one of two options: $29 per round (drop-in, no commitment) or $200/year, locked for life (unlimited rounds + 30-day money-back if your first foursome doesn't click). Card on file at apply — you're only charged the first time you reply IN to a round invite. Green fees are separate, paid at the clubhouse: ~$60–80 walking at Anaheim Hills, $75 cart-included at Coyote Hills, under $30 walking at Brea Creek for bonus rounds. Arrive ~30 minutes early to check in and warm up. Vol. II standard pricing TBD — founding members stay at $200/yr.

How often will I actually play?+

Two standing tee times every Saturday — ~10 AM at Anaheim Hills (walked, canyon course) and ~1 PM at Coyote Hills (cart-included, premium clubhouse). Every Wednesday we drop the full week's lineup: the two standing Saturdays plus any bonus rounds we're running that week (often a walked 9-hole evening at Brea Creek, sometimes a Sunday or Friday) when player calendars line up. Most members play 6–12 rounds a year; the annual covers unlimited.

What if Saturdays don’t always work?+

Saturdays are the heartbeat, but they're not the only door. When enough members with overlapping availability want a non-Saturday slot — usually a walked weekday evening at Brea Creek, occasionally a Sunday morning or Friday after work — we'll form a foursome and announce it in the Wednesday drop. The more openness you share in your application (weekend afternoons, weekdays, Sunday mornings), the more rounds you'll see.

Do I have to confirm every week?+

No. You opt in once, and you're in the rotation. The only thing you ever touch is the In rotation / Out of rotation toggle in your locker — flip it off when you're traveling, flip it back when you're around. Invites for specific rounds come in the Wednesday drop; you reply IN or PASS to that round.

Walking or cart?+

Both, depending on the slot. Anaheim Hills walks by default (carts available on request) — it's a canyon course, walking is part of the morning. Coyote Hills requires carts (course policy, included in the green fee). Brea Creek walks — it's a 9-hole executive course, casual, walking-encouraged. You pick the slot that fits.

I don’t live in LA / OC.+

If you can get to north OC on a Saturday, you’re in the catchment. Anaheim Hills and Coyote Hills are both in north OC. LA, Long Beach, San Diego — we see you. Vol. II will add more courses.

What if I don’t have any equipment?+

Check the “no clubs” box on your application and we’ll meet you at the course with a set — on us, for the founding 50. Balls and a glove are handed out to everyone before the first tee — so the only thing you have to bring is yourself.
