A lot of golfers start 2026 in the same place – comparing golf club membership near me, weighing up weekday membership, or trying to avoid paying full visitor green fees every time they fancy a round.
The snag is that traditional membership can be a bit “all in” – brilliant if you play loads and want one home club… less brilliant if real life gets in the way.
That’s where PlayMoreGolf comes in. It’s a flexible golf membership designed around how many people actually play now – a mix of weekends, midweek golf, society days, and plenty of twilight rounds when the evenings are long.
The traditional membership problem (in one awkward conversation)
Full 7-day membership can be perfect – but only if you use it enough. If you don’t, you can’t exactly wander into the pro shop on a cold, wet, windy winter’s day and say:
“Hi mate – any chance I can have half my membership back? I feel like I’ve not really played enough.”
They’ll tell you where to stick that idea – and it won’t be in the suggestion box.
So if you’re somewhere in the middle – you want membership benefits, but you don’t want the pressure of “I must play every weekend to make this worth it” – PlayMoreGolf is built for you.
What makes PlayMoreGolf different in 2026
1) Points-based – pay for the golf you actually use
PlayMoreGolf works on a points system. You buy a package of points, then spend points when you play. Each club has its own points matrix, with lower-point off-peak slots and higher-point peak times.
Best for golfers who:
- play in bursts (summer-heavy, quieter winters)
- can’t guarantee a weekly slot
- want a membership feel without committing to unlimited use
2) Not stuck at one course – play 200+ UK courses
Traditional 5-day and full 7-day memberships usually mean one club. With PlayMoreGolf, you can use flexi points to play at 200+ partner courses across the UK at no extra cost beyond using your points – perfect if you like variety, travel, or just fancy a change.
3) Top up whenever you want
If you end up playing more in 2026, you don’t need a whole new plan. You can:
- top up flexi points
- top up home points
…whenever you want.
4) Home points can roll over – so you don’t lose value
If you renew within the required window and stay with the same home club and membership product, unused home points can carry over into your next membership year (terms apply). Ideal if life gets busy and you don’t use everything.
5) Twilight golf can be seriously good value
If you’re an after-work golfer, this is where flexible membership shines. Evening and off-peak tee times typically cost fewer points – examples include weekday evening rounds at 2–4 points, while peak weekend slots cost more.
If your golf looks like:
- quick evening 9s or 18s
- summer-heavy playing
- twilight rounds once the clocks change
…points can stretch a long way.
6) Referral rewards – points for you and your mate
If you’ve got golf mates considering membership vs green fees, this is a handy bonus:
- refer a friend – you get 10 points
- they join – they get 10 points too
Who PlayMoreGolf suits best
- The “membership near me” golfer who doesn’t want to be locked in
If you’re comparing membership costs and access, PlayMoreGolf suits you if you want member benefits, but prefer flexibility over a fixed routine.
- The green-fee regular who’s tired of visitor rates
If you play often enough to notice the spend – but not always at the same place – PlayMoreGolf sits neatly between full membership and paying green fees forever.
- The weekday or shift-pattern golfer
If weekends aren’t realistic, points-based golf rewards off-peak play and lets you fit golf around your diary.
- The twilight golfer who wants maximum summer golf
If you mainly play after 5pm, low-point evening tee times are exactly why this model works.
- The society golfer who wants golf outside society days
Society golf is class – but it can mean you’re still paying green fees the rest of the time. PlayMoreGolf gives you a home club base plus the ability to play other courses when you fancy it.
It’s also where referrals can really add up – if a group of mates join, each referral adds 10 points for both people, meaning more points (and more rounds) for everyone.
- The “I want variety” golfer
If you like trying different tracks, access to 200+ partner courses is a huge perk.
