How do I play Effingham Golf Club as a guest?+

Effingham Golf Club is a private members' club, so the surest way to play it is as a member's guest. Hosted Rounds is a UK members' network built for exactly that: join, connect with an Effingham member, and they sign you in as their guest, usually at the club's own member's-guest rate rather than the full visitor fee.

How much is it to play Effingham Golf Club with a member?+

Played as a member's guest at Effingham, the rate is about £40 a round, versus the £120 visitor green fee. Your host signs you in and it is paid at the club on the day.

How much does membership at Effingham Golf Club cost?+

Membership subscriptions at Effingham are set annually and, as at most private members' clubs, are generally quoted on enquiry, so ask the club direct about current fees, joining fees and any waiting list. If the aim is to play Effingham rather than join it, you do not need a membership at all: a member can sign you in as their guest for about £40, which is what Hosted Rounds arranges.

Can you play Effingham Golf Club without being a member?+

Yes. Effingham allows visitor play, with some restrictions (no saturday visitor play (members only); £85 after 3pm). You can also play as a member's guest, signed in by a member at the club's guest rate.

Where is Effingham Golf Club?+

Effingham Golf Club is in Surrey (KT24 5PZ), in the South East.
