Join the network redefining flexible membership for premium golf clubs

IX.Golf is a new category of flexible membership created exclusively for leading golf
clubs — those defined by quality, reputation, and a commitment to member
experience.

We partner with clubs that want to grow intelligently, attracting a new audience of
aspirational golfers without discounting, diluting, or disrupting their full membership base.

With IX, you’ll join a curated network of premier venues, supported by a complete
marketing and membership management solution — delivered at zero setup cost and
zero risk.

Designed to support, not compete with your Full Membership category

IX is built to complement your full membership, not compete with it.

It attracts golfers who value your club but can’t yet justify a £1,500+ annual fee — typically younger professionals, parents balancing family life, or lapsed golfers returning
to the game.

From our data, 78% of flexible members play after 1pm, helping you fill quieter tee  times without impacting core members’ access.

This category also acts as a retention bridge — offering a softer landing for members considering resignation and keeping them within your ecosystem.

By welcoming IX golfers, you’ll build a pipeline of future full members, grow F&B and retail spend, and strengthen long-term engagement with your brand.

Exclusivity Criteria

IX is designed for premium golf clubs that reflect the quality and prestige of our
network.

As a guide, suitable partner clubs typically have:

  • A 7-day membership fee around £1,500+, or
  • Visitor green fees of £55 or higher, and
  • A strong member culture and a reputation for course excellence.

We recognise regional pricing differences, so qualification is always based on quality and fit, not price alone.

Our aim is to partner with clubs where IX can enhance reputation, support long-term growth, and protect brand value.
