At Knutsford, we provide a friendly, relaxed and inclusive golfing and social environment that positively contributes to our members lives and well-being and we welcome applications for membership.
The Membership Options and Prices are shown in the table below.
Whilst the golf course is our main focus, members have always been provided with the facilities and opportunities for competitive and fun golf, and social activities.
We are constantly trying to improve and have top professionals in their field working at the club. David Jones is our Course Manager and Steve Barker our Clubhouse Manager (see Our People). We also have a long-term course improvement plan.
With our 130-year history, we are a modern and progressive club where a strong culture exists to create a relaxed and friendly environment. The course is a sanctuary to Members, conveniently located five minutes’ walk from Knutsford and Tatton Park with major transport links close by.
Application for Membership can be made by completing the application form and sending it to the Honorary Secretary. Please note we currently have a waiting list for Gentlemen’s Full Membership and we can tell you more about the waiting time and how to register. We have spaces for Ladies’ Full Membership and for Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Five Day and Introductory Membership.

Membership Options New Members 2024-2025
A range of membership options are available to suit your lifestyle:
This is the most flexible membership type for the majority of our members. You will have all the benefits listed on the website with full access to the course and our many and varied competitions.
You will also be able to play in inter-club matches and friendlies; attend all our social events throughout the year; and have full access to the clubhouse and snooker room
We want to encourage younger golfers to join the club and we offer reduced rates (see table) for those aged 18 to 35.
This category has exactly the same benefits as Full Membership and you will be welcomed by our substantial and active group of younger members. This is a great way to become part of the club at an initial lower cost
We find that a smaller number of members do not want all the benefits of Full Membership and so we have a limited number of places for this category.
Your course access is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. You will be able to enter competitions scheduled within these days and have all the other non-playing benefits of Full Membership
We have created this category in partnership with England Golf to encourage those new to the game to come and give it a try. Our members in this category benefit from lessons from our professional and support “getting into golf” from Full members.
You will be able to play any time after 3pm (1pm in Winter) Monday to Saturday and all-day Sunday (subject to there not being a competition or visiting society occupying the course). You will also be able to attend social events throughout the year.
This category is valid for a limited period, up to one year from joining until the following May 31st, after which your membership will transfer to either Intermediate, Full or 5 Day Membership, providing spaces are available.
We have a thriving Junior community and we welcome young people aged 8 to 17 to this category, although numbers are limited.
Our Juniors have regular Sunday competitions and have the support of some of the biggest names in golf (video link). We also welcome Juniors with a qualifying handicap and aged 12 to 17 into the adult competitions to help them develop their game
This category is for those living over 50 miles from the Club and still wanting to be involved in occasional golf and social activity. You will be able to play in Club competitions but not compete for prizes
This is a non-golfing membership for those that want to stay involved with the club socially.
You will have access to the clubhouse facilities and also benefit from four reduced green-fee rounds/year at the Members Guest rate

Testimonials
The PGA and its professionals always look forward to being part of the Knutsford Pro-Am and this year was no different. Fortunately the weather behaved after a little bit of morning rain and the course held up fantastically. We saw some fantastic scoring both in the professional contest and the team Pro-Am, congratulations to all the winners. Huge thanks to Bob Sutton for being a great organiser, personally I always look forward to working with Bob year in year out. We at the PGA already cannot wait for next year’s Knutsford Pro-Am.
Dan Huxley,
PGA Tournament Controller, England and Wales
When I played KGC recently the course was in fantastic condition. It often goes unnoticed that to get a golf course in top shape, it takes committed individuals behind the scenes. It is clear from my visit this is one of its many strengths, alongside some of the recent refurbishments to add to its first class facilities. Please convey my thanks to all the staff involved.

I played golf at Knutsford today, for the first time in the 5 years I have lived in Cheshire.
WOW! What a fantastic course and club it is, I was thoroughly impressed.
Thank you for allowing me courtesy of the course.

I am a regular visitor to Knutsford with the famous MaxiTours events.
Your game needs to be in good order to play this interesting Course which is always in superb condition, has excellent greens and a challenging last two holes.
Joe Kirwan - Bramhall G.C.
Following our visit in August 2021, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for last night.
Everyone said how brilliant the course was, and a massive shout out on the food ! It was voted best of the year. So thanks again ... we will be back !
