Thorntree Country Club Frequently Asked Questions

Who owns and operates Thorntree Country Club?

Thorntree Country Club is owned by Century Golf and is operated and managed by Arnold Palmer Golf Management. APGM currently manages over 25 clubs and courses in the United States. 

 How do I make golf tee times?

Reservations for golf on weekdays may be made up to seven days in advance, in person or by phone.  Weekend and holiday tee times are filled using a lottery system.  Each Member wishing to play on the weekend will turn in his or her lottery card on the previous Wednesday before the golf shop closes. The first Members drawn will get their exact tee times, and the rest of the Members will receive a tee time as close as possible to their requested time. Lottery cards may be called in; the Golf Shop number is (972) 296-7317.  

 How many times may I bring a guest to play golf? 

Thorntree C.C. does not limit the number of times a Member can bring guests.  However, the same guest may only play a maximum of one time per month and six times per year.  

 How does the billing work?

The month’s bill is closed out on the last day of each month.  At the beginning of the next month, you will receive your monthly statement, which reflects the past month’s incidental charges and the next month’s dues.  This statement is due by the last day of the following month. If you are a Golf Member and pay your bill by the 15^th, you will receive a complimentary weekday guest pass to be utilized during the next 30 days. If you prefer, the club can automatically draft your credit or debit card each month. The amount of the statement will be charged to your card on the 15^th of each month, automatically giving you a complimentary weekday guest pass each month.  

 Does your club charge for range balls?

Yes, a monthly range fee of $12 is charged to all Golf Members and gives you unlimited access to the practice facilities for you, your family, and all guests that you bring to the club.
