Upon receipt of a completed application form, the form will be posted on the Club Website for a period of four weeks to allow any members who wish to comment to do so.
We will then conduct a short interview at the Club, for male applicants that is usually with the Chairman and The Club Captain. Interviews are usually held at the Club on a weekday evening.
For female applicants this is usually with our Lady Captain and another designated member from our Ladies Section.
The subscription is on an annual basis and runs concurrently with the calendar year with the addition of the Annual Membership Subscription for the England Golf Association, the Yorkshire and Sheffield Golf Union and the English Ladies Golf Association as appropriate.
On reaching the age of 30, or if 30 years of age or above on joining, there is also a joining fee of £1000. This is payable either as a one-off 20% discounted lump sum of £800 or over a maximum of 5 years at £200 per annum. When the full joining fee has been paid the member will be obliged to purchase a £1 share in Rotherham Golf Club Ltd, enabling them to have voting rights and the ability to take office.
Those joining the Club who are aged 25-29 years of age will make a part payment of 50% of the joining fee which would currently be £500, again this can be payable as a one-off discounted lump sum of £400 or over a maximum of 5 years at £100 per annum. The balance of any joining fee will then be payable on reaching age 30.
All members receive a discount card which enables you to purchase food and drink from the club at a discount.
We work with a company called Golf Credit, who provides a monthly financing scheme the amount payable would depend on what time of year you joined. The system is designed to take 10 equal payments from February to October. Anyone joining later i.e. in May would pay an increased amount over a reduced number of months, so the full amount is paid by November.
The Membership category subscriptions are reviewed annually and set by the Board for each calendar year. During the course of the year subscriptions, reduce and new members may join at the rates detailed below.
