Points-Based Membership

Choose a flexible golf membership that works around your life. No wasted fees, just points-based golf across 1,000 acres of Cheshire parkland and two championship courses.

Flexible membership gives you a bank of points to spend when and how you choose. Play peak weekends, quiet midweek mornings or anything in between. The choice is yours.

Best of all, the more you play, the less you pay per round, with Platinum members saving up to 45% vs visitor green fees.

Three Tiers. No Wasted Fees.

Pick the plan that matches how you actually play, not how you wish you did. Whereas traditional memberships can demand multiple rounds per week to justify the cost, flexible memberships built to your play patterns can save you time and money.

Membership FAQs

  • How far in advance can I book a tee time?

    Green members can book 7 days ahead, Gold members 14 days, and Platinum members 21 days. All bookings are made through our online member portal – it takes about 30 seconds.

  • How does the points system work?

    Each tee time slot has a point value based on demand. Off-peak weekday slots start from just 7 points, while peak summer weekend mornings cost 19 points. You spend points to book rounds – the quieter the slot, the fewer points you use.

  • Can I bring guests?

    Yes. Green members can bring up to 2 guests per round, Gold and Platinum up to 3. Guests use points from your allocation at the same rate – it’s a great way to introduce friends to Carden Park.

  • Do my points roll over or expire?

    It depends on your tier. Green members can roll over up to 20 unused points, Gold up to 50 points, and Platinum members get full rollover of all unused points on renewal.

  • Can I upgrade or downgrade my tier?

    Yes. You can upgrade at any time and we’ll pro-rata the difference. Downgrades take effect at your next renewal date.

  • Is there a joining fee?

    No, there is no joining fee. Your membership fee is the only cost.

  • Can I use both courses?

    Yes – all tiers give you access to both the Nicklaus and The Cheshire courses. The points cost is the same across both courses for each time slot.

  • Do I get a handicap?

    Yes – all tiers include an official WHS handicap. Green members can enter midweek competitions, Gold members all standard competitions and Platinum members all competitions, including opens.
