St Neots Golf Club

What St Neots Golf Club does

St Neots Golf Club is a private, member-owned golf and hospitality club founded on 26 October 1890 in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, England. It operates an 18-hole parkland course on Crosshall Road, one minute off the A1 motorway at the junction of the Rivers Kym and Great Ouse, with the original nine holes designed by Harry Vardon in 1912. The club's current clubhouse was constructed between 1982 and 1987 and supports a 140-person lounge, a 120-person wedding and party capacity, a 100-person air-conditioned function room, and an 80-cover first-floor restaurant.

Revenue is generated from six identifiable streams: annual membership subscriptions across Full (£1,370), 5½-Day (£1,230), Young Adult (£685-£1,090), Affordable Golf CASC, Social (£50), and Junior tiers; visitor green fees (£15-£50); society golf packages (from £35 per person for groups of 8+); venue hire for weddings, parties, business meetings, celebrations of life, and private dining; food and beverage across the Spike Bar, restaurant, and balcony; and the Pro Shop and PGA coaching (lessons from £35 per half hour with Director of Golf Paul Toyer). Members additionally access a reciprocal network of 14 local courses and 20+ national clubs via the 1890 Club.

The technology stack is standard third-party SaaS for the UK private club sector: BRS Golf for online tee-time booking, Club V1 for the member hub, HowDidiDo.com for handicapping and performance statistics, Google Analytics for web analytics, and Club Systems International Ltd for website hosting. The indoor Swing Studio offers video and computer-assisted swing analysis on a paid membership basis. Customer acquisition is primarily community-led and referral-driven through active sections (Seniors 150+ members, Ladies 60+ members, Juniors), open competitions such as the 2026 Pro Am, and word-of-mouth.
