Filton Golf Club

What Filton Golf Club does

Filton Golf Club is a private members' golf club established in 1909 in Filton, north Bristol, United Kingdom, operating an 18-hole mature parkland course (6,192 yards from white tees, par 70) on land the club has owned freehold since 1979. The club serves individual golfers, corporate clients, golf societies, visitors, and academy participants, with a 125-seat clubhouse renovated in 2024 supporting events alongside golf operations. It is governed by a members' management committee and employs a General Manager, Head PGA Professional, Assistant Secretary, and Head Greenkeeper among 11-50 staff. Filton has hosted the Gloucestershire County Championship (1914 and 2009) and the Southwest Seniors Championships and holds the England Golf Golf Mark High Achiever Award.

The club generates revenue across eight streams: annual membership subscriptions across 7 Day (£1,375), 5 Day (£1,260), Intermediate (£420-£840), Junior (£115), Academy (£645), Country (£550), Corporate (£2,400-£3,030 + VAT), and Flexible/PlayMoreGolf (£448) tiers; visitor green fees (£25-£50/round); PGA coaching and custom fitting; TRACKMAN Performance Centre hire; Pro Shop retail through Foremost Golf; bespoke society and corporate golf packages; and clubhouse function hire. Operations are supported by ClubV1 (online tee booking), HowDoIPay (payments), HowDidIDo (competition entries), Premium Credit (direct debit financing), and Google Analytics, with reciprocal play extended through a 14-club RAG Scheme and the 200-course PlayMoreGolf network.

Filton is currently executing a multi-year capital plan including drainage and bunker works, a new 5-hole Par 3 Course opening end of 2025, and a 10-bay Practice Range commencing Autumn 2026. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the club's own website, a hybrid roll-up/online booking system, and dedicated enquiry channels for societies and corporate groups. AI/ML capabilities are not present in the disclosed footprint; TRACKMAN is third-party launch-monitor hardware rather than proprietary AI.
