The process for membership is deliberately quick and simple with a five-stage procedure:

1. Potential new members fill in the application form;
2. The chair of the Club’s Membership Committee then considers the applicant’s details and candidates are asked to attend an informal interview with a small number of Club members;
3. If necessary, nine holes of golf are arranged with the prospective member and other members to establish golfing ability and knowledge of etiquette. Those with a proven golf handicap may skip this stage, while beginners may be asked to commit to a series of lessons;
4. Once the candidate’s golfing ability is established, the nomination form is signed by membership committee representatives;
5. Finally, the Captains Committee makes the final decision on the application. This whole process may take only a matter of a few days if all goes according to plan.

A successful applicant receives a letter of acceptance and a fees invoice to complete the process. Membership formally begins upon payment of the full amount due. We prorate the subscription for the remaining part of a financial year (to 30 September) on a monthly basis, calculated from the beginning of the month in which a member joins.
