If you’ve been thinking about taking up golf for a while but have hesitated due to the cost of a golf membership, or you’re currently a golf club member but feel restricted by the club’s terms and conditions, you’re not alone.
Approximately four million people nationwide swing a club across 2,500 courses. Not only that, £4.3 billion is spent on golf in the UK each year, with £2.2 billion of that channelled through golf memberships alone.
Yet many golfers have commented on the inflexibility that has come to be associated with the sport. This is where flexible golf membership comes in.
Flexible golf memberships, like PlayMoreGolf, typically involve golfers paying a discounted annual subscription to be a member of their local club, and then reduced or free green fees for a certain number of rounds they play. With some memberships, these payments can be redeemed on other golf courses across the UK.

PlayMoreGolf is a golf membership category that provides members with points. These points can be redeemed for rounds of golf and enables as many as 50 rounds depending on which course they choose and when they book to play.
With a choice of over 175 golf courses, members get to choose their home club as well as redeem their points at any other course across the UK.
Many of our members save anywhere between £300 and £800 per year, and each point value per round offers better value than any other discounted green fee price that a club will offer, meaning it’s one of the best golf memberships for value and overall experience.
As well as the above benefits, PlayMoreGolf members can also enjoy:
Thanks to PlayMoreGolf’s generous benefits and competitive annual fees, our membership base has grown to over 8,000 members in our first three years.
“I signed up to PlayMoreGolf as they had a great promotion on. Having played a lot of golf last year on a pay as you play basis, and with the good weather, I was playing up to four times a week which proved costly. Having worked out the price of a round using points it can cost the equivalent of £8 to play, which is unbelievable value for money."
