The Standard For Membership

Founders Fairway brings together proven business leaders who value meaningful relationships, great golf, and helping the right people move forward.

Built for active business leaders who are currently operating and growing a company.
Members must lead a business generating at least $1 million in annual revenue, verified during the application process.
The founding chapter serves Melbourne, Viera, Rockledge, Cocoa Beach, and the surrounding Space Coast community.
Our scramble format makes every event competitive, social, and enjoyable for beginners and experienced players alike.
Members are expected to share relationships, make introductions, and create opportunities for one another.

Not Everyone Gets In. That's The Point.

Most networking events are full of people selling to each other. This is not that.

Every member runs a real business doing $1M+ a year. No aspiring founders, no side hustles. We verify it.

Chapters are capped at 100 members. Not because we can't fill more seats, because we won't. Small enough to stay sharp, small enough to fit the whole chapter on one course, one Saturday a month.

And you can't simply buy your way in. Every application is personally reviewed, and many get a polite no. The room is the product, and we protect it.

Member Benefits

What Membership Gets You.

Four hours on a golf course builds a relationship that no coffee meeting or LinkedIn message ever will. Everything we do is designed around that simple fact.

How The Monthly Round Runs.

One Saturday a month. A new course most months. Here's the rhythm.

1

Arrive Early

Range balls, coffee, and warm-up. Work the room before you work on your swing.

2

Teams Announced

Foursomes are curated and revealed at the course. You'll play with members you should know.

3

18 Hole Scramble

Best-ball scramble, so every skill level contributes. Four hours of golf and real conversation.

4

Lunch & Networking

Stick around. Grab lunch, trade cards, and follow up on the conversations the course started.

How golf is billed: monthly scrambles are an additional per-round charge that varies by course. We handle all the coordination and booking; you'll see the course and cost in Slack before every event.
Membership Dues

Twenty Founding Seats. Then The Price Triples.

The founding class sets the culture of chapter one, so we're making it the best deal we will ever offer. When seat 20 fills, it's gone for good.

The Road Ahead

Chapter One Is The Space Coast.

Then National.

We're building this deliberately: small first, excellent always. Here's where it's going, and there is a lot more coming.

Founding Class — 20 Seats

20 Founding Members On The Space Coast

Monthly 18-hole scrambles at rotating courses, quarterly round tables, the member directory, and the Slack community. Founding members lock in $1,500 a year with no initiation fee, permanently.

Next

The Chapter Grows Toward Its Cap

Standard membership opens at $3,000 a year plus initiation. The chapter grows toward 100 members, never past it. The directory deepens, the round table calendar fills out.

Year One

The First Annual Founder Retreat: Mexico

Two to three days at a five-star resort: bucket-list golf, mastermind sessions, speakers, and activities. Details coming soon, and founding members hear them first.

Beyond

New Chapters, One National Network

Orlando. Tampa. Beyond. Every chapter capped at 100, every chapter in the directory and the Slack, so your network compounds across cities, industries, and revenue stages.

Annual Founder Retreat

Once A Year Bucket List Founder Golf Retreat.

Local scrambles build the network. The retreat forges it. Two to three days, members only, at a destination worth bragging about.

Mexico. Year One.

The first Annual Founder Retreat is headed to Mexico: a five-star resort, world-class golf, and two to three days with the sharpest founders you know. Founding members get the details, and the first seats, before anyone else.

Mastermind & Speakers

Facilitated mastermind sessions and guest speakers who've built and sold real companies. Come home with a sharper plan than you left with.

Five-Star Everything

A five-star resort, great food, better company, and activities beyond the course. Priced separately, planned entirely for you, and worth every single dollar.

Founders Fairway

An application is not an acceptance. Every application is reviewed personally, and we say no more often than we say yes. If it looks like a fit, we'll set up a call, and then invite you to a scramble as our guest before anything is official.

Apply For One Of The 20 Founding Seats

Who should apply: founders, owners, and CEOs of businesses doing $1M+ in annual revenue who show up as givers. Golf skill doesn't matter; the scramble format means everyone contributes.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The scramble format means your best shot counts, not your worst. We have members who play weekly and members who bought clubs last month. You need to be good at business; we'll pair you accordingly.
Founding members pay $1,500 a year with no initiation fee, locked in permanently. After the 20 founding seats fill, memberships will have a first increase to $3,000 a year plus a $3,000 initiation fee.
No. Each monthly scramble is billed per round and varies by course. We coordinate everything; you'll see the course and cost before every event.
You apply, we review it personally, and if it looks like a fit we set up a call. Then you'll join a scramble as our guest before anything becomes official. Not everyone is accepted.
One Saturday a month for the scramble, quarterly round tables, and as much or as little Slack as you want. Built for people who run companies.
Occasionally, by arrangement, but this club is application-only for a reason. Guests are how we meet future members, so bring someone who belongs in the room.
Nothing. You only pay for rounds you play. Your membership, directory access, and Slack are there whether you play twelve rounds a year or four.
The founding chapter is Space Coast based, but new chapters are coming. Apply anyway and tell us where you are; you'll be first in line when your city opens.
During the application process we confirm your revenue privately. It's never shared, and it's why every member can trust who's in the room.
Alex Serrao and John Lewis. Fellow Space Coast founders, building a much needed local Space Coast community to all grow from and have some fun golfing together.
Deliberately. We look at industry, skill sets, stage of business, and who you haven't met yet. You'll never play with the same three people twice in a row, and you'll usually know why we paired you by the third hole.
It's possible, though with a cap at only 100 members, it's not likely.
Founders Fairway is for founders, full stop. If you run a $1M+ business and can spend a Saturday on a golf course, the room is for you.
Great food, closed doors, and zero small talk. Each round table session brings together ten to fifty members, mixed by industry and stage, so the person next to you has either been where you are or is headed there. Come with a problem; leave with a plan.
It's priced separately and details are coming soon. Expect five-star resort pricing, and expect founding members to get first access before seats open to anyone else.
No. The Slack is a benefit of membership, not a product on its own. Everyone in there has stood on a tee box with other members, and that's why it's worth being in.
