Golf Club Website Design

I’m Spencer, a freelance web designer based in Brighton. I build custom websites for golf clubs and courses across Sussex and the UK — sites that serve members, visitors and function buyers at the same time, with online tee-time booking wired in from day one.

No agency fees. No templates. Just a purpose-built golf club website your committee can actually run, that fills the tee sheet, sells green fees and turns your clubhouse into a wedding and corporate-day earner.

Members’ club, proprietary course or pay-and-play — the site has to do the same jobs: fill the tee sheet, sell green fees and win the clubhouse events that pay the bills. Not starting from scratch? A web design rebuild keeps what works and fixes what does not.

Why it matters

A golf club website serves several audiences at once

Most golf club sites are built for one audience — usually the existing members — and quietly fail everyone else. But your website has to work for three very different people the moment they land on it.

Members want news, competition results, the fixture list and a fast route to book a tee time. Green-fee visitors want to see the course, check availability and pay. And function buyers — weddings, society days, corporate golf days — often bring the biggest cheques, yet they’re usually served by the worst page on the whole site. I build all three journeys in from the start.

Members: news, competitions, results, handicaps and one-tap tee booking

Visitors: course info, hole-by-hole guide, green fees and visitor booking

Society and corporate golf day packages that are easy to enquire about

Weddings and clubhouse events — your highest-value conversions

Membership categories and a joining process that doesn’t need a phone call

Easy to update — because the committee, not a developer, runs it day to day

That’s what I build. Whether you’re a traditional members’ club protecting your heritage or a proprietary pay-and-play course chasing every green fee, the website should be doing the selling while you’re out on the course.

The six essentials

What makes a good golf club website?

Here’s what separates a golf club site that fills the tee sheet and books weddings from one that just lists the opening hours.

Online tee-time booking, front and centre

Booking is the core functionality, not an add-on. I integrate your site cleanly with the system you already run — BRS Golf, intelligentgolf or clubv1 — so members and visitors reach live availability in a click, not through a buried “member login” link. A booking button members can’t find is a booking that never happens.

A course that sells itself

Green-fee visitors and society organisers choose with their eyes. Proper course photography, a hole-by-hole guide, yardages, the scorecard and a course flyover give them everything they need to commit — and that hole-by-hole content quietly does a lot of SEO work, because it’s exactly what people search for.

Weddings and events treated as revenue

The clubhouse is often the biggest earner and the worst-served page. Weddings, private functions and corporate hospitality deserve their own proper pages — gallery, capacities, packages and an enquiry form — because these are high-value conversions worth chasing hard.

Membership and joining made simple

Full, country, intermediate, junior, flexible, social — spell out the categories, what each includes and the price, then let people start the joining process online. Clear membership pages remove the awkward “call the office to find out” barrier that costs clubs new members.

Society and corporate golf days

Society and corporate days are steady midweek income. Package pages with what’s included — rounds, catering, prizes, bacon rolls on arrival — plus a simple enquiry or booking form make it easy for an organiser to pick you over the club down the road.

Easy for the committee to run

Most clubs are run by a committee or a small team, not web developers. Results, fixtures, competition news and course-status updates all need to go up in minutes, from a phone, without a support ticket. I build on WordPress and train your team so the site never goes stale.

Every golf club website I build includes all of these as standard — booking, course content, events, membership and an easy-to-run CMS. Want to see the direction before you commit? Start with a free mockup.

Pricing

How much does a golf club website cost?

Most golf club websites I build start from around £800, with the majority landing in the £800 – £3,000 range depending on the number of pages, the depth of your course content and how your booking system connects.

Larger builds — a full members’ area, extensive wedding and events sections, hole-by-hole galleries, multiple membership joining flows and deeper integrations — typically run £2,000 – £5,000+. Wherever your club sits, you get a fixed quote upfront: no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

I also offer a free mockup before you commit, so your committee can see exactly what they’re approving before a penny changes hands.

Optional ongoing costs, always kept separate and clear: hosting from £10/month, care plans from £30/month, and SEO retainers from £250/month.

What’s included

Golf club web design services I offer

Everything a golf club website needs, built in from the start rather than bolted on later.

Custom golf club website design

Every site I build is designed around your club — not pulled from a template. Whether you’re a heritage members’ club with a waiting list or a proprietary pay-and-play course maximising green fees, the design reflects your course, your clubhouse and your character. Both models get a site built for how they actually make money.

Tee-time booking integration

Online booking is the engine of a modern golf club site. I connect your website cleanly to the tee-sheet system you already run:

  • BRS Golf — one of the most widely used tee-sheet and booking systems in UK golf
  • intelligentgolf — membership, competitions and online booking in one
  • ClubV1 (Club Systems) — booking, membership and handicap management
  • Clear, obvious “Book a tee time” calls to action for both members and visitors

The goal is simple: get members and green-fee visitors to live availability in as few taps as possible, on any device.

Weddings and clubhouse events

For a lot of clubs, the clubhouse earns more than the course. Weddings, private parties, wakes and corporate hospitality are high-value bookings — so they get proper, dedicated pages: photography, room capacities, sample packages, testimonials and an enquiry form that lands straight in your inbox. This is often the single biggest revenue upgrade a golf club website can make.

Membership and joining

Clear membership pages turn browsers into members. I lay out every category — full, country, intermediate, junior, flexible and social — with what’s included and the price, then build an online joining or enquiry flow so nobody has to ring the office to find out the basics. Less friction means more members.

Society and corporate golf days

Midweek society and corporate golf days are dependable income, and organisers compare clubs before they book. I build package pages that spell out exactly what’s included — rounds, catering, buggies, prizes, day structure — with a straightforward enquiry or booking form so you become the easy choice.

Course guide and photography

A hole-by-hole guide is one of the best-performing things a golf club site can have. It gives visitors and society organisers the confidence to book, and it’s exactly what golfers search for — so it earns its keep for SEO too. Each hole gets its yardage, par, a photograph and a description, alongside the scorecard and course overview.

Members’ area, results and news

Members expect their club online. I build the sections that keep them coming back — competition results, the fixture list, club news, course status and captain’s updates — all editable in minutes from a phone. Keeping the members’ side fresh is what stops the whole site feeling neglected.

WHS and handicaps

The World Handicap System is part of everyday club golf now. Where it helps, I link your site through to the handicap and competition features your management platform provides — intelligentgolf, ClubV1 or your county/England Golf portal — so members reach their handicap records and enter competitions without hunting for the right link.

Pro shop and lessons

Your professional is a big part of the club’s appeal. I give the pro shop, coaching and lesson bookings a proper home on the site — lesson types, pricing, custom fitting and a way to book or enquire — so the pro’s business supports the club and the club supports the pro.

Built on WordPress

Every golf club site I build uses WordPress, so your committee owns and controls it. Why WordPress for a golf club?

  • Update results, news and course status without a developer
  • No vendor lock-in — you own the site and can take it anywhere
  • Cost-effective, reliable hosting options
  • Room to grow as the club adds sections over time

I provide full training, and ongoing help is there if you want it via WordPress support from £10/month.

Hosting & ongoing support

Your site needs to stay fast, secure and online through the booking rush. I offer managed hosting from £10/month and care plans from £30/month — security updates, backups, plugin updates and a friendly point of contact whenever the committee needs a change. Hosting and care plans are always billed separately from the build, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

All of it included as standard. Fixed price, quoted upfront.

Hospitality experience

Clubhouses live and die by hospitality

A golf club is a hospitality business with a course attached. The weddings, dinners, society lunches and corporate days that fill the clubhouse diary are exactly the kind of bookings I design sites to win.

The overlap

The same booking-and-enquiry thinking I use for hotels and B&Bs and restaurants and hospitality is what turns a clubhouse events page into a genuine revenue stream.

See my portfolio →
What that means for your club
  • Wedding and function pages built to convert enquiries, not just describe the room
  • Society and corporate day packages presented so an organiser can choose you in minutes
  • Enquiry forms that land straight in the right inbox, so nothing gets lost
  • A site your committee can keep current without calling a developer
The process

Steps I take to ensure a smooth process

Four stages, from first conversation to a website your committee can run themselves.

First

Discovery call

I start with your club — members’ club or proprietary course, your booking system, your membership categories and where the clubhouse revenue comes from. No sales pitch, just an honest conversation about what will actually move the needle.

Then

Quote and mockup

A fixed price, no surprises, plus a free mockup so you and the committee can see the direction before committing club funds. You approve the look before I build.

After that

Design and build

I handle everything — design, content, booking integration, course guide, membership and events pages, SEO setup. You’ll see progress throughout and can give feedback at every stage.

Finally

Handover and training

Your finished website plus full training for your committee or office team. No mandatory monthly fees — the club owns the site and can manage it independently.

Can you integrate our tee-time booking system?

Yes. Online tee-time booking is the core functionality of a golf club website, so I build the site to connect cleanly with whatever tee-sheet system you already run — BRS Golf, intelligentgolf or ClubV1 being the common ones in UK golf. Members and green-fee visitors reach live availability with an obvious “Book a tee time” button rather than a link buried in a member login. If you’re not yet on a booking platform, I can advise on which suits a club your size.

How much does a golf club website cost?

Most golf club websites I build start from around £800, with the majority landing between £800 and £3,000 depending on pages, course content and integrations. Larger builds — full members’ areas, extensive wedding and events sections, hole-by-hole galleries and multiple joining flows — typically run £2,000 to £5,000+. Every project gets a fixed quote upfront with no hourly billing. Hosting (from £10/month), care plans (from £30/month) and SEO (from £250/month) are always billed separately so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

Do you build for members’ clubs and pay-and-play courses?

Both. A traditional members’ club needs a strong members’ area, membership categories, competition results and fixtures, while a proprietary or pay-and-play course lives on green fees and visitor booking. Most clubs are actually a mix of the two, plus a clubhouse earning from weddings and events. I design the site around your specific balance of members, visitors and function revenue rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all layout.

Can the site help with weddings and clubhouse events?

Absolutely — and it’s usually where the biggest wins are. For many clubs the clubhouse earns more than the course, yet weddings and functions are often the worst-served pages on the site. I build proper dedicated pages with photography, capacities, sample packages, testimonials and an enquiry form that lands in the right inbox. Because these are high-value bookings, a well-built events section can pay for the whole website many times over.

Will a hole-by-hole course guide help our SEO?

Yes. A hole-by-hole guide with yardages, par, photography and descriptions does two jobs at once. It gives visitors and society organisers the confidence to book, and it’s exactly the kind of content golfers search for, so it helps you rank. Good course photography and a clear scorecard, combined with a solid SEO setup, make your course far easier to find and far more appealing once found.

Our club is run by a committee — is the site easy to update?

That’s exactly what I design for. Most clubs are run by a committee or a small office team, not web developers, so results, fixtures, news and course-status updates all need to go up quickly, often from a phone. I build on WordPress and train your team so anyone can post an update in minutes without a support ticket. Keeping the members’ side fresh is what stops the whole site drifting out of date.

Do you handle handicaps and the World Handicap System?

The World Handicap System runs through your golf management platform — intelligentgolf, ClubV1 or your county/England Golf portal — rather than the website itself. Where it helps members, I link the site cleanly through to those handicap records and competition-entry features so members reach them without hunting for the right link. The website’s job is to make the club’s systems easy to get to, not to replace them.

Do you only work with golf clubs in Sussex?

No. I’m based in Brighton, Sussex, but I work with golf clubs and courses across the UK. Most of the process runs over calls, email and shared documents, so location has never been a barrier. Whether you’re a local club or one further afield, I can help.

Are you a golf club web design agency?

No — I’m one person, and for most clubs that’s the better fit. An agency bills agency rates and the designer you brief rarely builds the site themselves. With me, the person you talk to is the person who builds it, backed by 10+ years and 100+ WordPress sites for businesses and organisations across the UK. You can see examples in my portfolio.
