To Apply for Membership
Obtain an Application Form
Membership gives you:
The club arranges a wide range of different competitions for its members which cater for all levels of ability. There are small entry fees payable for playing in many of these but some are free. Where fees are payable, they are usually contributions towards prizes or a prize fund.
Golf Insurance
Membership includes some insurance cover whilst playing. The primary cover is up to £10m of Personal Liability in the event that you are held liable for injuring someone or for causing serious property damage at any golf facility in the UK. More details are provided under The Club / Insurance.
The club is obliged to pay these for most playing members and they are included in your annual subscription. The major element is the fee to England Golf (the organisation that now combines the former English Golf Union and English Women’s Golf Association). There are also smaller fees payable to the more local Unions and Associations. The details are shown below.

When the 14 day approval period has elapsed, each new member will be sent a welcoming email confirmation that membership has been granted. This will include details of any handicap requirements, affiliation fees, insurance, safeguarding, and green fees.
