Membership Benefits

As part of the Women in Golf Pathway, members enjoy priority tee times, buggy hire and reciprocal golf at partner clubs, making it easier to play regularly and feel part of the wider golfing community.

The pathway also offers a graduated reduction on membership fees during the first three years:

Year 1: 40% reduction on the annual membership rate

Year 2: 30% reduction

Year 3: 20% reduction

From Year 4, membership transitions to the standard annual rate.

Enjoy Golf At Your Own Pace

We know that joining a golf club can feel intimidating — whether you’re new to the game, coming back after time away, or stepping into a new club environment where you don’t yet know anyone.

This pathway has been created to remove those early barriers, offering a supportive and gradual introduction to club golf at Swaffham.

From relaxed roll-ups to organised competitions, there are plenty of opportunities to play in a way that suits you. Many women start socially and gradually build confidence before taking part in medals, stablefords or team events — there’s no pressure to rush.

You’ll also find a varied programme of women’s, mixed, seniors’ and club events, offering plenty of opportunities to play socially or competitively throughout the season.

For Our Loyal Members

The Women in Golf Pathway also plays an important role in supporting and growing the women’s section, helping to introduce new players in a structured, welcoming way.

For existing members, this means:

✔️ A stronger and more active women’s section

✔️ More playing partners and social opportunities

✔️ Continued investment in the future of women’s golf at Swaffham

If you know someone who may be interested in joining the club, we’d love you to point them towards the pathway or encourage them to get in touch.

Supporting Women In Golf

We're proud to be committed to the Women in Golf Charter, launched by The R&A and supported by England Golf. This sets out our clear commitment to:

✔️ Encourage a more inclusive culture within golf

✔️ Support more women and girls to play the game

✔️ Create more opportunities for women at all levels of participation

✔️ Encourage families to enjoy golf as an accessible, social activity

This commitment goes beyond policy. Our management committee is proud to support initiatives that value women’s involvement in every aspect of the club — from playing and competing, to volunteering and pursuing opportunities within the sport.
