Any club, regardless of type, must meet the definition of a Golf Club:
A Golf Club, which may or may not be associated with a golf course or facility, is a group of at least ten active individual members on the handicap roster. A Golf Club is required to have a Handicap Committee to supervise golf activities, provide peer review, as well as apply and maintain the integrity of the Rules of Handicapping. Members of a Golf Club should have a reasonable and regular opportunity to play golf with each other and reside in geographic proximity to facilitate this, with members generally within a 100-mile radius of the principal location of the Golf Club.
