Golf clubs earn from member wellness telehealth referrals by pointing members toward licensed online care and collecting a fixed or recurring monthly marketing fee. Your club does no clinical work, holds no inventory, and it is free to join, with no setup cost and no monthly fee.
Members already come to your club for the practice range, the pro shop, and a good lunch after eighteen holes. Many of them are also thinking about weight, energy, and overall wellness. A telehealth referral program lets your golf club connect those members to independent licensed providers and turn everyday member goodwill into a steady, predictable line of revenue.
Why golf clubs are a natural fit for wellness referrals
A golf club is one of the most trusted rooms in a member's week. People return on a regular schedule, they know the staff by name, and they treat recommendations from the club as credible. That trust is exactly what makes wellness telehealth referrals work.
Your members skew toward an audience that pays attention to health, longevity, and performance on the course. When your club shares a discreet way to explore licensed online care for goals like weight management or sexual health, you are meeting an interest that already exists. You are not selling anything or pushing product. You are opening a door, and every time a member walks through it your club earns.
How the golf club referral model works
The MedStands model is built to be almost invisible to run. Your club gets a unique QR code and link. You place the code where it fits your brand: the locker rooms, the wellness board, a member newsletter, the app, or a small card at the front desk. When a member scans it, they land on licensed online care under your club's referral.
From there, the member handles their own consultation privately. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. Your staff never discusses symptoms, never touches a prescription, and never sees protected health information. If you want the full walk-through, read the MedStands model from QR code to monthly payout.
Who handles the clinical side
This is the part that keeps your golf club safely out of medicine. Your club refers, and licensed professionals do everything clinical.
Independent licensed providers do the prescribing. Licensed pharmacies handle fulfillment, refills, and shipping. The platform is LegitScript-certified, the recognized standard for legitimate telehealth and online pharmacy operations. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe. Care can include treatments such as semaglutide or tirzepatide for weight goals, or sildenafil or tadalafil for sexual health, but which treatment, if any, is always a decision between the member and their provider.
Your club holds no inventory, ships nothing, and does no clinical work. For a deeper look at that division of labor, see who handles prescribing and shipping in a referral program.
What your golf club earns
Your earnings come as a fixed marketing fee that is set in advance. It is not a commission, not a percentage, and not a cut of sales. It is a flat marketing fee agreed up front, which makes your income easy to understand and easy to forecast.
Depending on the arrangement you choose, that fee can be a one-time referral fee or a recurring monthly marketing fee that continues as long as a referred member stays in care. Recurring is where a golf club's steady membership base really shines, because your audience returns week after week.

We keep earnings qualitative on purpose. What you actually collect depends on your member volume, your placement, and how you promote the program.
Partner or affiliate: choosing your path
MedStands offers two ways in. The partner program is built for the club itself as a business, with fuller branding and account features. The affiliate program suits an individual, such as a golf pro, a wellness director, or a club consultant, who wants to refer under their own name.
Both are free to join with no setup or monthly fee, and both pay a fixed marketing fee. If you are unsure which fits, compare partner versus affiliate and which program fits, or browse partner programs by industry to see how clubs like yours are set up.
Common questions
Does my golf club need a medical license to refer members?
No. Your club refers members to independent licensed providers and never provides care. You are marketing a service, not practicing medicine, so no medical license or clinical training is required to join.
Is there any cost to join?
No. The program is free to join, with no setup fee and no monthly fee. Your golf club holds no inventory and handles no fulfillment, so there is nothing to buy and nothing to stock.
What do we tell members, and is it safe for them?
You simply share the referral, and the member decides privately whether to explore care. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies, so your staff never handles health details.
How does the club actually get paid?
You earn a fixed marketing fee, paid on a clear monthly schedule for qualifying referrals. Because the fee is set in advance rather than tied to a percentage of sales, your golf club always knows what a referral is worth.
Getting your golf club started
Turning member trust into recurring wellness revenue takes one short sign-up. Review the Golf Clubs program to see exactly how the referral flow, QR codes, and payouts work for a club like yours, then join in minutes. If an individual on your team wants to refer under their own name instead, the MedStands affiliate program is the place to start.
Your members are already focused on feeling and playing better. With a MedStands referral program, your golf club can support that goal, stay completely out of clinical work, and earn a fixed or recurring monthly marketing fee for every member who chooses licensed online care.
