4 myths about Flexible Membership 

Flexible golf is thriving. More golf clubs are implementing the category into their membership options. However, we believe there are a few misconceptions about flexible membership.

So, what are they? 

1. Flexible membership is cheap golf  

Absolutely not! Data shows that the yield, or cost per time, compared to your standard full member, is significantly higher.  

If your full member plays on average once a week and pays £1000, the cost on average is £19.23 per round.  

If a flexible member pays £375 and plays 12 times per year (PlayMoreGolf data shows their members play an average of 8 – 12 times per year), the cost on average is £31.25 per round.  

That’s an increase of 62%. Yes, a Flexible Member may pay less, but they play a lot less too.
