Reciprocal Clubs Near, Far, Wherever You Are
Soaking Up Summer on the Road? Stay Fit at a Partner Facility
BY JAKE TEN PAS
Curious about curling? Anyone who’s ever watched the Winter Olympics likely wonders what it’s all about. Thanks to MAC’s extensive network of reciprocal clubs, members can ice their burning questions at The Granite Club in Toronto.
If that’s too far to travel, perhaps a round or three on a golf simulator followed by luxurious lodgings at a boutique hotel in Bellevue, Washington, feels like a more-attainable way to chill. Even closer to home, swing through Bend’s Awbrey Glen Golf Club for a round on the scenic greens followed by a sunset cocktail by the pool.
However — and wherever — members make the most of their summer, one of MAC’s sister facilities awaits. Find out more about taking advantage of reciprocal benefits at themac.com or by asking At Your Service for additional information.
