There are many golfers, both existing players and new to the game, who would love to be a member of a Members Owned Golf Club and enjoy all the related benefits but for different personal reasons cannot commit to a Full Membership at this point in time. Here in Slade Valley we have recently created a new Membership Category- Flexi Member- that allows you to become part of our Club and enjoy most of the benefits attaching to Full Membership. You will be able to get a Golf Ireland Handicap that then allows you participate in most Club competitions and Open competitions elsewhere. Of course, you can also play social golf on our course and indeed bring along a visitor and avail of reduced Green Fee rates for them.
The Flexi Membership rate for 2025 is €350 to open your account (in 1 payment) and after that your account balance reduces in line with what you use. Different rates will apply based on the day you play and you must pre book your game on the Club’s website. (€15 weekdays and €25 weekends and Bank Holidays). Each time you play the appropriate deduction will be made to your account. If you run out of credit in your account you can top it up through the Office or Pro Shop and then continue playing. All top ups must be in €350 amounts and expire 1 year after the top up date. If you are playing in a Club Competition the appropriate Competition Fee will also apply.
