Gathurst, Hart Common and Houghwood rates are from the clubs' own websites. Others are listed rates from 1golf.eu and some may be last season's. Where a club lists only a day ticket or a Mon, Wed and Fri rate, that's shown as the weekday rate. Always confirm when you book.
Visiting as a member of another club
I'm a member at another club. Am I a visitor?
Yes. Unless you're playing with a member of the club, you book and pay as a visitor. Some clubs ask visitors to show membership of a recognised club or a handicap certificate.
What's a members' guest rate?
A lower green fee for golfers playing alongside a member of the club. Clubs often limit how many times a year the same guest can use it. Gathurst, for example, allows six reduced-rate rounds a year.
Do I need a handicap certificate?
It depends on the club. Gathurst, Dean Wood, Bolton Golf Club and Dunscar ask for one, and Harwood asks visitors to be members of a golf club. Hart Common doesn't. Where a club doesn't say, take your club card or app with you.
Can visitors play at weekends?
Most clubs we list do take visitors at weekends, usually at a higher rate. Warrington Golf Club takes visitors on weekdays only, and Hart Common takes weekend visitors until around 4pm. Check when you book.
