When I first took up golf and decided to join a golf club, I didn’t quite know what I was getting into. At the time, I wasn’t thinking too deeply about what it meant to be part of a golf club. I just wanted to play more golf! But after a few years, and a few different clubs, I’ve come to realise that joining a golf club isn’t just about access to a course. It’s an investment. Not only financially, but emotionally and socially too.
If you love the game, it can deepen your connection to it in a different way, that paying and playing doesn’t. Joining a golf club is also about community, atmosphere, and comfort. And if you're a woman new to the game or joining alone, there are a few specific things to consider that can really shape your experience.
