Policy
We look forward to welcoming Guest Pass Holders to the Shoals Club during their stay on Bald Head Island. Guest Pass Holders are invited to enjoy the Club’s amenities, provided the home being rented has a Full Shoals Club Membership and is registered in the Annual Rental Program.
Guest Pass Holders will have access to the Shoals Club daily throughout the high summer season, with the exception of Mondays after 4pm.
The Shoals Club is a very popular gathering place during the summer season, and our goal is to provide an enjoyable, comfortable, and welcoming experience for our members, their families, and their guests. While the Club does not currently place caps on guest passes, except during the week of the July 4th holiday, we do reserve the right to manage or limit daily access when necessary based on overall Club usage, capacity, staffing, and service levels.
We appreciate your understanding and partnership as we work to maintain the best possible Club experience for everyone.
Guest passes must be registered and paid for at least 5 days prior to arrival in order to avoid a $100 administrative late fee.
No full or partial refunds will be issued for guest passes.
For questions regarding guest passes, please call the Shoals Club office at 910-454-4888.
Annual Renter Registration Program
For members who rent their homes, the Board has approved an Annual Renter Registration Program.
Members who wish to make the Shoals Club Guest Passes available to their renters and guests, will need to be actively enrolled in the program by completing the Annual Registration form via their member portal. Please call 910-454-4888 should you have any questions or need assistance.
