There are a large number of benefits of being a member of a golf club and while you do pay more money you certainly get significantly more benefits for that money.
1. Unlimited Access to your Home Course With a climate like ours you want to be able to play when the weather is good. Being a member gives you the opportunity to play when you like and generally as often as you like.
2. Choose How Much You Play On a warm summer’s evening you may have had a hard day at the office and feel that you would like some fresh air but do not have the time to play 18 holes. You could choose to play only 3, 5 or 10 holes and still be relatively close to the clubhouse. You generally wouldn't have this option with pay as you play golf where you may have to pay for 18 holes regardless of how many you want to play.
3. Gain an official WHS handicap You can attain an official WHS handicap, giving you the opportunity to play competitions at your home course and other courses.
4. Play Competitive Golf As a member of The West Kilbride Golf Club you can play regular official club competitions. The Club offers a wide variety of competitions, both at weekends and midweek.
5. Get your handicap down Playing competitions regularly at your home or in other Open competitions gives you the chance to get your handicap down to your targeted level. This is what most golfers strive for throughout their playing days.
6. Play in Matches against other clubs As a member of The West Kilbride Golf Club, you will have the opportunity of representing the Club in matches against other Clubs, in the local area or further afield, whether you are a senior or a junior, man or woman. It is not just low handicap players that play for the Club. Some matches are played using handicaps and therefore everyone has the chance of participating.
7. A Great Clubhouse Environment The clubhouse can be a great place for eating, drinking and socialising with your friends, with competitive prices for members in very pleasant surroundings. The West Kilbride Golf Club lounge and dining room have had a makeover in 2016 and is even more attractive.
8. A Sense of Belonging Having a membership of The West Kilbride Golf Club is a great way to be part of the local community and network with other people from the area; golf clubs often form a vital part of the local town or area.
