Revenue model

1. Visitor Green Fees: Day visitors pay green fees to play the 18-hole course. Pricing varies by day of week, time of day, and season (summer vs winter rates). Group bookings are available at discounted per-player rates for societies.
2. Golf Membership Subscriptions: Annual subscription-based memberships across multiple tiers (Full Member, Intermediate, Junior, Twilight, Country, Ladies Academy, Social). Fees run from £60 per year (Junior under-14) to £1,255 per year (Full Member), with additional club entry fees and mandatory club card charges. Union fees of £29 are applied separately. Revenue is recurring annually.
3. Food and Beverage: In-house catering provided 7 days a week, including a clubhouse bar (cask beers, keg beers, lagers, stout, full wine menu) and a dining room with panoramic views over the course. The kitchen operates extended hours on Saturdays. Revenue is generated through à la carte purchases by members, visitors, and event guests.
4. Society and Corporate Golf Packages: Golf societies and corporate groups book tailored packages that include green fees, use of driving nets, putting green, Pro Shop access, and extras such as longest drive and nearest the pin markers. Packages are priced to suit individual budgets and needs.
5. Event Hire and Private Functions: The clubhouse is hired for private functions including anniversaries, christenings, birthdays, and celebration-of-life events. Buffets and drinks packages are available and are priced as additional revenue-generating services. Both members and non-members can book.
6. Sponsorship and Advertising: Local and national businesses purchase advertising and sponsorship placements across the club's facilities. Multiple named partners currently advertise on the club's website, signage, and course infrastructure, generating supplementary non-member revenue.
