Cards may be obtained through the mail or in person at the POA's Membership Services Department, 101 Town Center. The department is open between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Fees for photo ID cards are as follows:

• Photo ID Card (Annual) - Age 19+ - 1st Lot-Member - $35

• All other Photo ID Cards (after 1st two purchased) - Free
• Temporary ID Card (30 Days) - Age 19 and Over - $9
• Replacement Cards - ALL Categories, including paper cards - $6

Your tee time access number appears as your Member number on your POA paper membership card. If your tee time access number does not allow you to make a tee time, please call (479) 855-5079 or any golf shop for assistance.
Members may begin to make tee times seven days in advance of play at 7 p.m. For example: a member seeking a Saturday tee time may start calling at 7 p.m. Saturday. Tee times remain available until 12 midnight the day of play. Same day tee times are not available through the reservation system. Same day tee times are available by calling the golf shop of choice direct.

COURSE GUEST
In order to use a Bella Vista facility a guest must either be accompanied by a member or have a valid guest card. All Bella Vista golf and recreation facilities are available to our sanctioned guests with payment of the appropriate use fee. Guests must have obtained a tee time access number from the Golf Division office (479) 855-5079, their rental agent, or any Bella Vista golf shop prior to their use of the system.

Guests may obtain a tee time three days in advance of play beginning at 7 a.m. For example: a guest seeking a Saturday tee time may begin calling the reservation system at 7 a.m. on Wednesday. Tee times remain available until 12 midnight the day of play. Same day tee times are not available through the reservation system.
