A Membership For Every Golfer
Whatever your age and however often you play, there is an option here that fits — including dual membership across two courses within a short drive of each other. This page explains what each one gives you and what it does not. Our short questionnaire will then confirm which suits you best.
The differences at a glance
Three things really separate our memberships: when you can play, whether you can enter competitions, and whether you pay once a year or as you go.

Prices shown are standard annual rates unless stated otherwise. The £250 trial gives new members three months of full seven-day access before choosing a longer-term membership option.
Full annual membership
Unlimited golf, a WHS handicap and the full competition calendar. Pay yearly or spread it monthly.
Seven Day
£1,095 a year
Golf whenever you like, seven days a week, with everything the club runs open to you — Saturday and midweek medals, every trophy competition and the Club Championships.
- Unlimited golf, any day
- Full competition entry and an official WHS Handicap Index
- Add Hartford Golf Club for £1,120 instead of £1,095
New members can also take the £250 three-month full seven-day trial before committing to an annual subscription. It includes weekday golf, weekend golf and competition play while the trial is active.
At the end of the trial, the club team can help compare seven-day, five-day, dual, age-banded and FlexiGolf options.
Five Day
£875 a year
Unlimited golf Monday to Friday. Everything a seven-day member gets, minus weekends and Bank Holidays — so midweek medals yes, Saturday medals and the Club Championships no.
- Unlimited golf Monday to Friday
- Midweek competitions and a full WHS handicap
- Dual with Hartford for £885
New members who are unsure whether to choose five-day or seven-day membership can use the £250 three-month trial to experience the club before committing to an annual subscription.
Joint Seven Day
For couples £1,995 a year, for two
Two full seven-day memberships on one subscription, saving £195 against joining separately. Both of you get the full competition calendar and a WHS handicap.
- Dual with Hartford for £2,025
Four Ball
Best value £840 each, for four
Join with three friends and all four of you pay £840 for a dual membership — both Pryors Hayes and Hartford, full competition rights, for less than a single seven-day subscription. It is the best value membership at the club, and you arrive with a four-ball already sorted.
Under 30s
Full seven-day playing rights at a reduced rate. Your category is set by your age on 1 April, so you keep the rate for the whole season.
Intermediate — ages 22 to 29
£585 a year
Everything a seven-day member gets for a little over half the price. If you are in this age group, nothing else at the club comes close.
Colt — ages 18 to 21
£290 a year
A dual membership, so you can play at Hartford too. Full playing rights and competition entry.
Junior — ages 12 to 17
£165 a year
Full seven-day playing rights, junior coaching and junior competitions, plus a WHS handicap. A parent or guardian completes the application, and both the junior member and parent or guardian will be invited to meet the Director of Golf before membership begins.
Under 12s
£150 a year
Full access with a supervising adult, and a place in our junior academy sessions.
Under 18? We do not take payment online from under 18s. Complete the application and book a visit — a parent or guardian comes along and can settle the fee at the club.
FlexiGolf
A points card rather than a membership. You decide when you play and how often, and pay only for the golf you use.
FlexiGolf Points Card
£300 for 300 points
Each round is deducted from the points card. Points can be topped up at any time from £50, and unused points roll over to the next season. If a FlexiGolf member later upgrades to a full membership, any remaining points convert to credit against it.
It suits people playing roughly once a month or less. Above about twelve rounds a year, an annual membership works out cheaper.

Please read this before choosing FlexiGolf. It is not a competition membership. You cannot enter the medals, the trophy competitions or the Club Championships.
FlexiGolf members can enter the Captain's and Lady Captain's Drive-Ins, both Charity Days, the Club Invitation Day, and the Members Council Trophy if they hold a WHS Handicap Index. Golfers who want regular competition golf should choose an annual membership.
Competitions and handicaps
The competition calendar is one of the best reasons to join. These notes explain how competition eligibility works for new and existing members.
A WHS Handicap Index is required
Every competition at Pryors Hayes requires a WHS Handicap Index of 54 or below — previously known as a CONGU handicap. Members who do not yet have one can be supported by the club. A county union fee is also required to hold a handicap, currently £18.25 a year (CCGU for men, CCLGA for ladies) in addition to the membership subscription.
Most trophies require eight qualifying rounds
Most trophy competitions require members to have completed eight handicap-qualifying singles competitions after receiving their initial WHS Index. The Yellow Ball competition requires three qualifying rounds.
Saturday and midweek medals do not have this requirement, so new members can use those competitions to build up qualifying rounds, usually over the first couple of months. The Ken Coates Trophy is open to eligible annual members from day one.
What FlexiGolf members can play
The Captain's and Lady Captain's Drive-Ins and Charity Days — all four are open to everyone — plus the Club Invitation Day, and the Members Council Trophy for anyone holding a WHS Handicap Index. Medals, trophy competitions and the Club Championships are for annual members only.
For annual members, the usual route is to join, establish a WHS Handicap Index, play medals during the first couple of months, and then move into the wider trophy calendar. The Director of Golf can explain the process during an introductory visit.
Where you will fit in
Membership is the same for everyone — same options, same prices, same course. What differs is the calendar you play to, and the club runs three sections with programmes of their own.
Ladies' section
A thriving section across two divisions, playing 13 major competitions through the summer alongside singles and doubles knockouts, mixed events and a Tuesday roll-up arranged on the section's WhatsApp group.
Competition golf runs April to October — Thursdays from 9.16am and Saturdays from 11.08am — with a nine-hole programme through the winter.
Teams go out in the West Cheshire League, the Percival Trophy and the Business Ladies League, and the section enters national qualifiers including the Mail on Sunday, Ping and TaylorMade.
New to golf or coming back to it after a break, you will be made welcome — the section is actively looking for both.
Men's section
Saturday and midweek medals, the full trophy calendar and the Club Championships, plus the Captain's events through the season.
Seniors' section
Midweek golf and its own fixture list, with friendly matches against other Cheshire clubs.
One thing to be clear about. The sections' competition programmes — ladies', men's and seniors' alike — are for annual members. FlexiGolf does not include them.
Two courses for one subscription
Hartford Golf Club is our sister club, a short drive away. For a small addition to most memberships you can play both courses all year.
Seven-day dual is £1,120 rather than £1,095. Five-day dual is £885 rather than £875. Joint dual is £2,025. Colt membership and the four-ball deal are dual as standard, and FlexiGolf points work at both clubs — at a lower rate at Hartford.
If you already belong to another club, dual membership is usually the sensible way in.
Members who introduce a friend who joins and renews can receive up to £250 off their 2027 subscription.
