Affordable Golf Courses releases consumer guide clarifying the $299 PG1 membership charge associated with SF2 Driver purchases, providing steps to avoid enrollment and resolve billing disputes.
-- Affordable Golf Courses has released a consumer guide that separates the SF2 Driver purchase from the PG1 membership billing, addressing confusion among golfers who have encountered unexpected charges after buying Performance Golf equipment.
The guide clarifies that the $299 charge stems from a separate online coaching platform offer, provides practical steps to avoid enrollment, and offers guidance for resolving billing disputes. This resource fills an information gap for consumers navigating what many have described as a technically disclosed but easily overlooked trial-to-billing sequence.

Consumer complaints have reached notable volume. According to the Better Business Bureau, Performance Golf has 710 complaints closed in the past three years and 201 closed in the last 12 months, many concerning unexpected membership charges following one-time product purchases.
Law firm Wittels McInturff Palikovic investigated Performance Golf for alleged unauthorized subscription practices and reached a settlement in a class action lawsuit regarding unauthorized charges. These patterns explain why golfers searching for SF2 driver complaints often encounter PG1 billing friction rather than product performance issues.
The guide walks through the sequence that catches buyers off guard. After purchasing the SF2 driver online, customers typically receive a follow-up phone call offering what is described as a free 30-day trial of the PG1 coaching platform. If the trial is accepted-or in some cases, not explicitly declined-the system automatically bills a one-time $299 lifetime membership fee to the card used for the driver purchase once the 30-day window closes.
Because the offer is made verbally during a phone call rather than through written checkout confirmation, many golfers miss the billing terms until the charge appears on their statement weeks later.
Affordable Golf Courses outlines a five-point prevention framework in the guide. Golfers are advised to decline follow-up phone offers clearly and request email confirmation, check order confirmations for pre-checked PG1 enrollment boxes, set calendar reminders for day 25 rather than waiting until day 30 to cancel, monitor card statements for 45 days post-purchase, and consider purchasing through third-party retailers to reduce exposure to direct upsell calls. These steps allow buyers to take control before a billing event occurs rather than relying on post-charge resolution.
For those already billed, the guide also outlines the resolution path. Performance Golf has a documented track record of refunding the fee when customers escalate through customer service or file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
The guide details a step-by-step process: call Performance Golf customer service with specifics about the charge, escalate via BBB if the first contact does not resolve the issue, and save records for potential card issuer disputes. Buyers consistently report that escalating through these channels results in a refund, though the process is not automatic and requires proactive follow-through.
The guide emphasizes that the SF2 driver's 365-day, 100% money-back guarantee remains entirely separate from PG1 membership billing. Drivers can be returned independently of any PG1 enrollment status, and canceling PG1 does not affect driver return eligibility. Affordable Golf Courses positions the guide as part of a consumer information initiative, providing transparent, actionable guidance so golfers can make informed purchasing decisions without fear of hidden or unexpected charges.
