LIFESTYLE MEMBERSHIP CREDIT SYSTEM
Lifestyle membership is a credits-based scheme that enables members to access the more traditional elements of a golf membership, such as have an official handicap, book tee times in advance and play in club competitions*, but with the added flexibility of a modern membership scheme which allows you to tailor the cost with how much golf you choose to play. Membership can be taken out at any time of the year. Lifestyle membership includes 'Lifestyle Credits', which can be used to play golf both during the week and at weekends. Our Lifestyle members will be able to enjoy up to 32 rounds of golf each year for their initial credits, depending on whether they play at peak or off-peak times - please see the matrix below. `
Lifestyle members are not entitled represent the club in any matches.
There are Two categories of Lifestyle membership available:
Category | COST | CREDITS | 100 CREDITS TOP-UP |
---|---|---|---|
Lifestyle |
£500 | 320 | £130 |
Lifestyle Light |
£350 | 160 | £200 |
How does it work?
Each time you book to play golf credits are deducted from your account. Credits will be deducted according to when you play and can be topped up at any time via the member website or pro shop. Due to the credit nature of this membership, we cannot offer the monthly payment option on this category of membership . In addition to the membership subscription there is an affiliation fee to be paid which goes to England Golf and the respective County Union and the Captial Levy charged to all members. (£23 & Capital Levy £30).
All unused points will be lost at the end of the subscription year.
