Membership renewal

We would firstly like to welcome all the new members who have joined for the 2026/27 membership year, if you have any queries please talk to the counter staff.

We are pleased to report that we have had a healthy membership renewal, with an 85% retention rate on our 7 day, 5 day enhanced and 5 day memberships. We are also delighted to confirm we have welcomed over 50 new full members to the golf club.

Greenkeeping

Due to the lack of rainfall over the last few months the golf course has become very dry, however our greenkeeping team continue to work very hard day in day out. We are watering the greens daily to keep them in the best condition possible for golfers. We have stopped cutting the grass for the time being as it has stopped growing due to the lack of water. We are very hopeful for some rain soon to top everything up. We thank you for your patience and are thankful for the complements we’ve received regarding the course during these adverse conditions.

Club Championships

Thank you, to all who participated in our Club Championships 2026.

This year’s Club Championship was held across Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th July as a 36-hole competition. Our Ladies Club Championship was held on Monday 13th July followed by our Ambassadors on Tuesday 14th July.

The results for these competitions can be found on the website under the members area.

Open Day

We are pleased to say that this year we had a brilliant turn out for our Chilworth Open Day! On arrival all players received a golf goodie bag with golf balls and other gifts. There were 19 teams of 3 competing in our Bowmaker competition on the day.

Thank you to all who participated bringing new and returning guests. The feedback was great, regarding the condition of the course and the delicious buffet at Charlie’s and the staff representing the club. Everybody was also very impressed that the winning team went away with prizes considering the generous gift bags.
