Northwoods is open to the public. People from all over the state and the country come to try their hands at playing on one of Mr. Dye's first creations. Northwoods is a public golf course with the kind of quality enjoyed at private golf clubs. Although the public is always welcome, Northwoods has a membership plan available. Membership only golf tournaments and events will be sponsored throughout the year. Since only 125 members are allowed, they will enjoy a quiet golf game at these events.

Prospective members can choose from plans that cost $100 per month, or $300 per quarter. Prepayment benefits the new member by discounting the dues $200 over the annual $1,000 cost. This fee will cover the greens fees with cart fees due on play days of $13. These are prorated when applicable.
