Access - a 7-Day Membership from £350*
Access is a new type of introductory membership designed to encourage new golfers to make the decision to join Dale Hill as a 7-day member. It helps the decision making process by allowing new members to 'test the water' before 'taking the plunge'.
Many potential members see the fear of the unknown in joining a new club and parting with a large initial payment as the two biggest barriers to joining a golf club, Access breaks down these barriers.
About Access
- Access will be offered for an initial 'limited period'.
- It is an introductory membership leading only to full 7-day membership of a Leaderboard Golf Club. (See below) Access Membership can run for up to 12 months. When completed, the same person cannot undertake Access membership again.
- Access cannot be purchased by existing members or by any person who has held any category of membership in the preceding 12 months.
- Access allows playing rights at all Leaderboard Golf Clubs.
- Access Members will belong to one Leaderboard club, known as their 'home' club. The other clubs in the Leaderboard Group will be known as 'away' clubs.
- Leaderboard's Access to Golf is open to new and experienced players
Access - how does it work?
Membership is taken out at a Leaderboard Golf Club, for example Dale Hill. This club will from then on be known as the ‘home’ club of that Access Member.
The member will buy an Access 350 (£350) or 600 (£600) Pack will give the member 350 or 600 points.
Each time an Access Member plays golf at his or her ‘home’ course, an amount of points are deducted from their account. The number of points deducted is based on weekend or weekday golf in or out of season. Different days and seasons will cost the golfer a different number of points. (See appendix B).
If an Access Member chooses to play at another Leaderboard course, the booking must be made at the home course and the member will receive special green fees at the away course.
Access Members can top up points at any time in quantities of 100 (£100), 200 (£200), 300 (£300) and 400 (£400).
| At the end of a 6-month period, the Access Member will be asked to join as a full 7-day member. If they choose to do so, only golf purchased and used by the access member during the 6 months, up to a maximum of £700, will be offset against their joining fee. If they choose to join between 6 and 12 months then only 50% of the golf purchased will be offset against the joining fee. (Guest golf not included in the 12 months) |
No unused points will be refunded, at the end of the year; the Access Member must then join as a 5-day or 7-day member or decline membership of Dale Hill.
