The Passport Group owns and operates the California Stand-by Card. Our goal is to help save you money and to enjoy the game of golf. The concept of the Stand-By Card is a simple one. If the golf course does not fill its tee-times it has lost that revenue forever. By allowing this cardholder a 50% discount on a stand-by basis the golf course has picked up additional income it would have lost. This half off discount benefits both the player and the golf course.
