The feelings within the golf industry this year focused on the high numbers of golfers planning to renew and continue their golf club membership or those looking to join golf clubs. Despite economic uncertainties, the passion for the game remains strong—and that’s reflected in steady membership demand.
However, with this continued interest comes a notable trend: rising costs. For 2025, it should come as little surprise to anybody that 87% of our respondents told us that their golf club membership fees have increased this year. This uptick is being felt across the country, driven by factors such as increased operational costs, higher demand and investment in course improvements.
While this may pose challenges for some, the commitment to maintaining high standards and providing value to members remains a priority for most clubs. Golfers are encouraged to review the benefits and offerings of their memberships and to communicate with their clubs about any concerns.
Did you know that Orchard Funding works with over 100 UK-based golf clubs, offering a fee finance scheme that helps members spread the cost of their club membership over up to 12 months—making payments easier to manage.
