Welcome to the The Pershing app, where the experience of our members is our primary focus. We have developed a custom app to enhance your experience on and off property. With only a couple of taps, you can present a digital membership card for staff. You also have easy access to detailed information about the club as well as beautiful photos from our events and facilities. There are even several ways to communicate with us, including sending in your compliments and comments, requesting a special event, and retrieving guest information. We hope you enjoy the digital The Pershing experience. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The The Pershing app will attempt to shutdown background GPS services when they are no longer needed.
