Jeff Garlin does not accept checks.

A Calabasas, California country club found that out the hard way, when the Curb Your Enthusiasm star prematurely left a gig there last week because the venue couldn’t pay his $800 fee in cash.

Garlin, who played Jeff Greene on the iconic HBO comedy from Larry David, left his slated gig at the Calabasas Country Club over the lack of physical money on hand, insiders told Page Six on Wednesday.

The Chicago-born comic-actor, who also played the role of Murray Goldberg on The Goldbergs, left about 40 people in attendance upset at his departure, after they had specifically come to watch him onstage, a source told the paper. 

‘The crowd was pissed – most of them had come to see Jeff,’ the source told the outlet. 

One insider tried to explain to the outlet that Garlin – who played Jeff Greene on the iconic HBO comedy from Larry David – ‘can be a very neurotic guy’ and ‘get hung up on things.’

Daily Mail has reached out to Garlin’s reps for further comment on the story.

A description for the Calabasas Country Club on its website touts the location’s golfing amenities as ‘a championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. & Jr.’ and ‘a thoughtfully crafted experience for golfers of all skill levels.’

The club added: ‘Each round provides beauty, variety, and a unique challenge. The picturesque setting also serves as a perfect backdrop for weddings, parties, and special events, with expert planners and chefs ensuring every detail is flawless.

The venue said it ‘boasts a Callaway Performance Center, a Dave Pelz short game area, a full driving range with natural grass, and a 6,000-square-foot fitness center with golf-specific training and group fitness classes.’
