Membership gives you:
Official Handicaps
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.

To Apply for Membership
Obtain an Application Form
Please Note:
Applications are subject to the approval of the Management Committee which usually meets monthly. Once approved, details are displayed on the Club Notice Board for at least 14 days before acceptance. This procedure can take up to six weeks depending on the date on which the application is received. For practical purposes, new members are officially accepted as Members on the 1st of the month following the month in which the Management Committee gives its approval.
All successful applicants will be invited to a New Members' (etiquette and induction) Meeting - normally held at 14.00 on the first Saturday of the month (for Men) or on a Wednesday afternoon (for Ladies). Attendance is compulsory for members seeking their first handicap.
Membership is approved for the current year and fees are due on 1st December but those applications accepted at the August (and later) meeting of the Management Committee will carry forward their membership to the end of the following year.
If you would like help in joining members for rounds of golf then please ask when you come to the New Members Meeting or ask any member of the Management Committee.
Membership details are kept on computer and only used for Club purposes. The Club complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of 2018.
