Hickleton Golf Club operates a private 18-hole undulating parkland golf course in South Yorkshire as its core offering, with revenue generated from annual memberships across five member sections, pay-as-you-play green fees for visitors and societies, an on-site Professional Shop providing equipment retail and PGA coaching, clubhouse venue hire for weddings and corporate events, structured junior golf development programmes, and entry-fee open competitions throughout the year.

Product overview

Hickleton Golf Club operates as a single-location golf club offering an 18-hole parkland course as its core product, augmented by a Professional Shop for equipment and coaching, Clubhouse & Hospitality services for events, and various membership packages. The club also provides a Junior Academy Course for young players, tee time booking via BRS Golf, open competitions throughout the year, and World Handicap System administration.
