Shellwood Bay is not selling final memberships yet. This page explains the access concepts being tested so local golfers can tell us what would feel useful, fair, and worth joining before pricing or terms are finalized.
The founding questionnaire asks which membership style the Venice area would be most comfortable with: lower dues plus hourly play, included monthly access credits, unlimited-style access with booking limits, couple/family use, or corporate/team access.
The examples below are plain-language concepts only. They help visitors understand the choices before they join the no-payment, no-commitment interest list.
For golfers who mostly want recurring practice time, short sessions, wedge work, putting reps, or lighter off-peak use.
For players, couples, and small groups who want indoor rounds, priority-style booking concepts, league possibilities, and guest-friendly use.
For early supporters, local businesses, professional teams, client hosting, private-bay concepts, and community groups that may want a higher-access path.
Monthly access credits
Some indoor clubs use a monthly access-credit model to make different types of use easier to compare. Shellwood Bay is evaluating whether that idea would make sense locally, alongside simpler pay-as-you-go, included-access, unlimited-style, family, and corporate options. Final pricing, credit values, guest rules, booking windows, peak/off-peak policies, and premium bay rules are not final.
| Example use | Possible credit value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Off-peak practice hour | Example 1 credit | Solo practice, range work, wedge work, putting reps, or casual play. |
| Standard simulator hour | Example 1 credit | Normal member use for practice or casual rounds. |
| Peak simulator hour | Example 1.5–2 credits | Popular evening, weekend, or seasonal windows. |
| Premium/private bay hour | Example 2–3 credits | Private bay use, couples play, client hosting, or small groups. |
| League/event block | Format still being shaped | League and event formats will be refined with founding feedback. |
| Guest use | Policy still being shaped | Guest, spouse, household, and group policies will be finalized before launch. |
These are planning examples only, not final offers. Final membership terms will be announced after founding demand, site selection, buildout, insurance, and operating assumptions are validated.
We may brand these monthly access credits as “Shells” later, but for now the plain-language concept is monthly access credits.
The form asks for a comfortable monthly budget range because the first real membership options should be grounded in local demand, not guessed in advance. These ranges are signals only, not published pricing.
Updates, limited practice, or lighter access concepts.
Recurring practice and player access concepts.
Priority booking, leagues, guests, and premium usage concepts.
Founder, corporate, event, or higher-access concepts.
These ranges are early planning examples only, not final offers.
