Most golfers in South Africa relish the game by taking golf club membership at one of their over 450 affiliated golf clubs. Over 150,000 golfers in the country enjoy the game through membership, which allows privileged admission to that club’s course(s) and the other facilities at the venue.

Benefits of golf club membership

By becoming a member of one of the affiliated clubs, you can get an official handicap should you decide you want one and walk in without any booking, even during peak hours.

The social benefits

You will meet several fellow club members on the course, in the clubhouse, or the play area. When you join, the club captain will be available for meet and greets and assist you with introductions and other formalities.

Match benefits

Golf membership means a spectrum of different things to different people. All the clubs host several competitive golf games exclusively for the members throughout the year. Try the different formats and see how many you finish in the first year of membership.

Access to courses and other amenities

When you join a golf club, you get unrestricted access to many facilities, such as the practice areas, driving range, clubhouse, changing rooms and shower facilities.

Length of the round

Non-members and visitors must pay for a full nine or 18 holes to play the course, but you do not have to finish a full social round with your golf membership.
