A premium flexible membership category for elite golf clubs

Join a curated network that attracts the right type of golfer, complements your full membership, and delivers measurable results — with zero setup fees and no risk to your club.

Supporting your full membership offering

A flexible membership will complement, not compete with, your full membership.

It attracts golfers who can’t yet commit to a £1,500+ annual fee – often younger professionals, parents balancing family life, or lapsed golfers returning to the game.

From our data, these players typically use off-peak tee times, helping you increase utilisation without impacting core members’ access.

Flexible membership also acts as a valuable retention tool, offering a softer landing for those considering resignation.

By welcoming these golfers, clubs create a pipeline of future full members, grow secondary spend in F&B and retail, and strengthen long-term community engagement.

Exclusivity Criteria

IX is designed for premium golf clubs. As a guide, this typically means a full 7-day membership fee in the region of £1,500+ per year, or visitor green fees of £55 or more.

We also recognise that pricing varies across different parts of the country — a club may charge less in one region than another, but still represent the right level of quality and prestige.

Ultimately, our focus is on partnering with clubs that combine reputation, course quality, and a strong member culture, ensuring IX complements the existing membership structure and supports long-term growth.

The benefits to your golf club

Value

Attract New Members

Flexible membership appeals to time-poor professionals, families, and returning golfers who aren’t ready for full membership, bringing fresh faces into your club without devaluing exclusivity.

Choice

Maximise Tee-Time Utilisation

These golfers typically play at quieter times, filling off-peak slots and boosting revenue, while ensuring full members continue to enjoy priority access to premium tee-times.

From our insights 78% of flexible members play after 1pm during the week.

Quality

Create a Pathway into Full Membership

Flexible membership builds loyalty and connection, offering golfers a low-risk entry point that naturally progresses into full membership when their lifestyle and circumstances allow.

How IX.Golf differs to other operators

There are other flexible golf operators out there, but they focus on discounted green fees. While these schemes often attract the “nomadic” golfer who drifts between venues, IX takes a very different approach.

Our points-based system is designed as a pathway to full membership, not a substitute for it. IX members are typically time-poor professionals, families, or lapsed golfers looking to reconnect with the game — future candidates for your club’s full membership category.

We don’t offer discount green fees to our members, nor request upfront payments, or add additional admin time to your existing workload. Instead, IX operates on a results-based model with zero setup fees. Our priority is quality, not volume: protecting your club’s prestige while filling quieter times and introducing the right type of golfers to your community.

No. IX complements your offering by attracting golfers who aren’t ready for full membership and typically play off-peak. Many progress to full membership once their circumstances allow.

Is there a minimum term commitment?
Use the FAQ section of your site to answer those routine questions that always come up and need to be answered. This is a great way to tell us more about what you can offer, fill in some details that might intrigue us, and show us how knowledgeable and helpful you can be.
What are the expectations of the golf club?

We keep things simple. All we ask is that you:

  • Promote the new membership category on your website and in-club, so both members and visiting golfers are aware of the option.

  • Welcome IX members in the same way as your full members, ensuring they feel part of the club community and enjoy the same on-course experience.

We handle everything else — from sales follow-up and CRM management to customer service and payments — so your team can focus on running the club.
