About
SGC, some of your questions answered:
What
is Silsden Golf Club?
Silsden Golf Club is a members club, sound as though
it might be a little exclusive doesn’t it!
But the reality is that it is a non profit making organisation
owned and managed by the members, rather like the traditional
Working Men’s Clubs popular in the UK through
the 1900’s.
Day to day management is undertaken by the General Management
Committee, a small, dedicated group of members elected
every 2 years.
Silsden Golf Clubs primary objective is to provide golfing
facilities for its members and enable them to play golf
as an when they choose to do so.
There is an Annual General Meeting held in March of
each year at which members have the opportunity to decide
on club rules and policy for the forthcoming years.
We are not a Limited Company nor are we owned by any
individual/individuals.
How
and why are subscription so low?
Silsden Golf Club realised some years ago that golf
fees for the ordinary man or woman in the street were
not representing good value for money.
The traditional way of charging members (cost of running
the club divided by the number of members) was getting
out of control with many Club fees reaching £800
and more!
As a village golf club, SGC cannot avoid the fact that
its primary income source is derived from membership
subscriptions. But SGC makes every effort to control
expenditure, maximise income from other sources and
provided members with great value for money.
I’m
currently a member of a golf club, but I think the cost
isn’t giving me value for money
Only
you can decide what ‘value for money’ is,
but if you use your current golf club as a base for
administering your handicap, getting some on course
practise and socialising. Maybe you could use the money
you save by joining SGC to visit some of the courses
you’ve not played for some time or put it towards
the cost of some new clubs.
Come and take a look around Silsden Golf Club. There
you will find a tranquil, well maintained 18 hole parkland
course. A great clubhouse with facilities that include:
Function room, sports bar with snooker and pool tables.
There are men and women’s changing rooms with
showers and a trolley store with battery charging facilities.
Silsden Golf Club may not be the most prestigious club
in the area but here your views will be respected and
you will be part of a club that has not forgotten its
raison d'etre.

I occasionally play with friends and we tend
to pay on the day, why should I join?
One of the main issues with ‘pay and play’
golfer seems to be time, they feel they can’t
be a member because they can’t afford the time
necessary to play.
We feel though that there are any number of reasons
your SHOULD be a member, here are a couple answered:

I’m thinking of taking up golf, but undecided
which club to play at, why should I join?
If you have been thinking about it what better time
to start than at the beginning of Summer. Long evenings
and good weather make it perfect for you to decide whether
this is the game for you.
Every year 20 to 30 men, women or juniors who have not
played before join Silsden Golf Club. You are NOT alone!
Join SGC and will quickly find people your own age or
ability and with a common goal.
