About Alister Links
Alister Links is named for Dr. Alister MacKenzie — the physician-turned-architect whose designs at Augusta National, Cypress Point, Royal Melbourne, and dozens of other legendary venues redefined what a golf course could be. MacKenzie believed that a great course should look natural, test the mind as much as the swing, and bring genuine pleasure to every level of golfer. We share that philosophy.
Our mission is simple: help golfers find the right private club. Choosing a club is one of the most significant decisions a golfer makes — it shapes your game, your social life, and often your family's recreation for years. Yet reliable, comprehensive information about private clubs has always been fragmented, outdated, or locked behind word-of-mouth networks.
Alister Links changes that. We've built a directory of private, semi-private, and resort golf clubs across the United States — organized by state and city, enriched with membership details, amenities, course specifications, and honest context. Whether you're relocating, looking for a seasonal membership, or simply curious about what's available in your area, you'll find it here.
What We Believe
- Transparency matters. Club membership shouldn't require a secret handshake to learn the basics. We present factual information — fees, amenities, types — so you can make informed decisions.
- Every club has its character. We're not here to rank clubs against each other. The best club for you is the one that fits your life, your game, and your community.
- Golf is better shared. The private club experience is about the people as much as the course. We hope this directory helps more golfers find their place.
