Global Golf Community LinksDAO has released new membership levels to join the community of golf enthusiasts
The group is currently renovating Spey Bay Golf Club in Scotland, the LinksDAO’s first crowdfunded purchase
LinksDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization for golf enthusiasts, has released new membership options to expand access to its global network of golf courses and retail partners.
The organization launched its non-fungible token (NFT) membership collection in January 2022, selling out and raising $10.5 million to fund its goal of buying a Top 100 golf course. The original tokens provide holders with a number of benefits, including access to the digital community, board voting rights, and access to LinksDAO’s future crowdfunded golf club. According to the site, the group has built a community of “thousands of golf enthusiasts in 40 countries.”
In March, the group announced its plans to buy the Spey Bay Golf Club, an 18-hole course on the north coast of Scotland, for about $1 million. The deal was officially closed in May 2023. According to the Links website, renovation of the track will begin construction in the fall.
Recently, the DAO has been renamed Links Golf Club and now offers new membership levels to raise new capital. The lowest tier, Starter, is available for $99 per year and includes access to the group’s digital community and discounts on merchandise from partner golf brands. The second tier, Player, gives access to Links’ peer-to-peer network of over 800 private courses and costs $499 per year. The highest tier, Pro, costs $1,499 per year and includes access to over 1,300 member-hosted and private courses, along with access to Spey Bey when it eventually opens.
By opening the club to non-crypto natives, Links Golf Club will allow those interested in the new membership options to pay by credit card in fiat currency.
The group also offers memberships to its Spey Bay club for LinksDAO Global or Leisure members that vary in price and benefits.
At the time of writing, the bottom price of LinksDAO NFT memberships starts at 0.165 ETH, or about $300, on OpenSea.
