GolfCourseHome Network (GCHN) Links Card
Adds Balsam Mountain Preserve to Line-Up
We are pleased to announce that Balsam Mountain Preserve, NC, a private club community, now honors the GolfCourseHome Network (GCHN) Links Card.
The GolfCourseHome Network (GCHN) Links Card is accepted at 261 golf courses in the Northeast, Virginia and the Carolinas.
Our goal with the GCHN Links Card is for you to be able to create your own discounted Stay'n Play visit to a GCH community. You can purchase the GCHN Links Card(s) at a 38% discount off the retail card rate and earn a a minimum of a 30% discount off your greens fees.
Many of these layouts are at golf communities where you can experience the community and what it is has to offer while playing their golf course at a discount.
For example, you can play for less at Owl's Nest in New Hampshire's White Mountains, Kiln Creek Golf Club and Resort, VA; Kingsmill Resort & Spa, VA; Ford's Colony, VA; Anderson Creek Golf Club, NC, and Cummings Cove Golf & Country Club, NC.
The GCHN Links Card is part of the Exclusive Links Card program which has been widely recognized as the premier golf discount program in the country for more than 20 years.
Watch for more announcements of additional golf communities and their courses as are they are added to the GCHN Links Card line-up. To receive your discount, use promo code GCHN when
