How to become a member of Ferndown Golf Club

Our membership application process has been designed to ensure that you are happy and comfortable with us and the Club, before you commit to membership. It enables you to make a fully informed decision so please do not hesitate to ask questions at any stage of the process, we're all here to help you in any way we can.

And don't forget that whilst we are keen to preserve all that is good about the traditions and etiquette of golf and the Club, this approach is never to the detriment of modern standards and expectations. We like to think that Ferndown Golf Club offers you that rare combination of exclusive and inclusive.
