2. How do The Golf Wish Gift Cards work?

Buying a Gift Card

The Golf Wish Gift Cards can be purchased from our website (www.thegolfwish.com) or through our Customer Service department. Within our website, all participating golf courses and/or golf businesses display The Golf Wish Partner seal. All Gift Card purchases are processed in U.S. dollars only. Gift Cards are shipped via FedEx Ground, unless otherwise specified for FedEx Next Day or FedEx 2-Day delivery. Standard shipping rates apply to all purchases.

Using the Gift Card

Gift Cards are redeemable at any of The Golf Wish partner golf courses and golf businesses throughout the United States. Gift Card recipients choose the location of their choice to redeem their card. Recipients can search our online database of golf courses and/or golf businesses to select their desired location that accepts The Golf Wish Gift Card. Locations displaying The Golf Wish Partner Seal on their profile page within our website accept our Gift Cards.

Once the golf course or golf business of choice has been selected, the Gift Card recipient simply visits that course or business and enjoys their gift with a round of golf or some new equipment or apparel. It’s that easy!

Gift Cards can be used multiple times at multiple locations until the dollar value of the gift card is used up. At anytime, additional dollar values can be added to a Gift Card via our website or by contacting The Golf Wish Customer Service at 630.375.2009.

2.    Each matched partner course or business will receive a copy of the request and be asked to respond with a pricing bid back to The Golf Wish.
3.    All submitted pricing bids are then given to the golf outing planner for review and selection of which partner golf course or business best meets their needs.
4.    Once the planner identifies their desired partner, The Golf Wish connects the two parties to begin the event planning process.


12. When will my course/business get reimbursed for Gift Cards that have been redeemed at my location?

Reimbursement for The Golf Wish Gift Card transactions processed at your course or business are issued twice each month with payments made on the 15th and 30th of each month.

  • Seven Bridges Golf Club
         Woodridge, IL
    Seven Bridges is defined by the two contrasting nines. The front nine is heavily wooded and the first tee sets the tone. Heavy hitters will want to leave their driver in the bag, select a fairway wood that provides them the most accuracy, as the fairway narrows about 275 yards off the tee and a precise shot will set up a better approach than will a longer drive that's off the mark. Although a double dogleg uphill par 5, this hole is imminently playable if one uses planning in favor of power. The back nine is a whole new game where water is a defining characteristic. Five of the seven bridges transport players through a fresh set of challenges and will have you feeling like you've entered a new realm.
