What Castle Royle does

Castle Royle is a members-only golf, health, and country club operating as part of The Club Company Collection, a privately held UK group managing a network of 29 golf courses and country clubs. The club is headquartered at Bath Road, Knowl Hill, Reading, Berkshire, and offers an integrated suite of leisure services: an 18-hole par 72 championship golf course designed by Neil Coles (6,844 yards), a Technogym-equipped health club with a 20-metre indoor pool and more than 120 weekly fitness classes, and the Aura Spa featuring Elemis and Jessica treatment brands. Technology infrastructure includes the Intelligent Golf platform for tee time bookings and competition management, The Club Company mobile app for class and personal training booking, and the Mr Yum platform for food and beverage ordering.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring monthly membership subscriptions across three tiers (Lifestyle at £85.50/month, Full Health at £122/month, and Full Health Flex at £146.50/month), each carrying contractual commitment periods of 3 to 12 months. Ancillary revenue streams include spa treatments, PGA professional golf lessons, gift vouchers (£25–£100 denominations), private event hire for up to 100 guests, food and beverage (with 15% member discount), and entry fees for club competitions. Members benefit from reciprocal access to 29 courses and facilities across The Club Company Collection, plus a complimentary 12-Week Wellness Journey programme featuring physical and cognitive Wellbeing Checks.

The customer base spans five primary segments: Golf Enthusiasts, Health and Fitness Seekers, Spa and Wellness Visitors, Families (with junior programmes and crèche), and Corporate and Event Clients. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the website, club tours, and word-of-mouth, with mid-funnel engagement through email marketing, social media (Facebook, Instagram), and competitive events. The legal entity operating the site is The Club Company (Group) Limited (Company No. 03223622), with Castle Royle as a subsidiary brand employing 101–250 staff.
