Regular competitive play and social aspects are the key perks for most club members.

We hold competitions each week for members. This is great if you want to test your skills and perhaps grab some prizes – and bragging rights – along the way. Competitive play feels a little more meaningful, especially as you’ll get an official handicap, and it’s likely to help improve your ability too.

For some, the social aspect of golf is undoubtedly one of the most appealing. Whether you play with friends or join partly to meet new people, being part of a club will allow you to mix with different people and blow off some steam in the great outdoors.

Ready for a bonus perk? If you join an England Golf–affiliated club, you’ll be covered for personal liability with golf insurance, so this can give you some added peace of mind in the event of injuring a third party or damaging third party property.
