Pricing is not final. Shellwood Bay is validating what local golfers value most: practice access, weekly play, realistic putting, leagues, guest access, hospital-shift-friendly hours, corporate hosting, and Elks/community social play.
Best for Venice-area golfers, medical professionals, retirees, and players who want recurring practice and honest distances.
Best for regular players, couples, small groups, community members, and league golfers who want priority booking and complete simulator rounds.
Best for PGT-area businesses, hospital-adjacent teams, client entertainment, Venice-Nokomis community groups, and early members.
Monthly access credits
Shellwood Bay is evaluating a monthly access-credit model so members can use the club for practice, full rounds, couples play, leagues, guests, and professional hosting without paying separately for every visit. Final pricing, credit values, guest rules, booking windows, peak/off-peak policies, and premium bay rules will be shaped by lease terms, buildout, insurance, operating model, and founding member feedback.
| 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 | To be determined | Final formats shaped by founding feedback. |
| Guest use | Under review | Guest, spouse, household, and group policies are not final. |
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.
We are listening to local golfers before setting access options. The goal is to understand whether the area wants light practice access, weekly play, couples/household options, league/social events, guest-friendly booking, or corporate/client hosting.
