The club is an exciting place with golf available for all levels whether you are seeking competitive golf or social games, you'll be right at home here at Dean Wood.

If you would like to join and be part of a progressive golf club with a vision to be one of the best golf courses in Lancashire, simply download and fill in the application form and e-mail it to secretary@deanwoodgolfclub.co.uk. We will then endeavour to process your application and get you playing as soon as we possibly can.

Benefits of membership

The days of golf clubs being stuffy places is no more and whilst here at Dean Wood Golf Club we are proud of our heritage and follow the rules and etiquette of golf strictly, we are also forward thinking and are not afraid to embrace changes and developments. You'll find us quite strict about dress code on the course but you'll also find us extremely friendly and relaxed in all other aspects of the club.

Being a members is, of course, first and foremost, about the golf course...and here at Dean Wood Golf Club we are fortunate to have one of the real gems in the Lancashire area. Our course has two very distinct nines; a relatively flat but challenging front 9 holes and then when you get to the turn, a back nine that is incredibly undulating and will test even the best of players.

Benefits include:

• Competitive golf with midweek and weekend competitions run every week
• Year round golf although we do sometimes have to go on to winter greens for frost or really wet ground
• Membership of The English Golf Union
• Membership of The Lancashire Golf Union with reduced green fees at over 1000 other UK courses
• Membership of The Association of James Braid Golf Courses that gives you reduced green fees at over 300 golf clubs world wide
• Well laid out clubhouse with two bars, restaurant food and dining area, games room with snooker table and sports television
• Luxury locker rooms with changing and club storage facilities
• Resident professional for club advice, lessons as well as a stocked shop

Sections

Dean Wood Golf Club does not discriminate between male and female members which is clear from our membership subscriptions. That being said there are competitions for men and ladies separately with men playing competitions every Wednesday and Saturday and ladies competitions being played on Tuesdays. Our lady members can also enjoy playing golf on Saturdays but not enter the mens competitions.

We have an extremely popular junior section run by Steve Carter. Juniors get to play their competitions on Sunday afternoons but can also play at other times during the week to help them hone their game. Juniors are also welcome in the clubhouse and you can expect a friendly and caring atmosphere that has safeguarding at the forefront of how members engage with our young golfers. If you want to talk to the Junior Organiser about Junior Golf at the club you can contact Steve on 07447 169879.

INTRODUCTORY OFFER FOR JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP

FREE - Membership for Juniors up to age 12

FREE - Group lessons for Juniors from the Club Professional

ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION

Our Subscription year runs from 1st July to 30th June, relieving members both old and new of the financially onorous 1st January renewal.  At Dean Wood we also appreciate the difficulties of younger members financing membership of a golf club whilst setting up a new home and starting a family. To assist with this we offer full membership at reduced subscriptions on a sliding scale between the ages of 23 and 29. We have also introduced a monthly payment plan for all full members.

Dean Wood are proud to offer a pathway for ladies wanting to Get into Golf.  The pathway consists of 3 stages:

Stage 1: Ladies are offered group lessons with our Golf Professional at £10 per session on a weekday and/or a weekend day.  The programme may be joined at any time of the year allowing for flexibility. Equipment will be provided initially.

Stage 2: This is where ladies will be able to play 10 holes of the course, initially with a mentor, for 3 months. This costs £200. After self-assessments, ladies will progress onto the next stage.

Stage 3: Ladies will become full 6-day members and will be able to play 18 holes without supervision. This is when they can start working towards obtaining a handicap so they can join in club competitions (if they wish).
