Joining
Wrenmoor Heath

Around forty places open each year across five categories. Every member plays the same heath from the same tees, and seven-day members have a say in how it is kept.

A season
at the club

Something on most weekends from April to October, and a winter league to keep the swing going through the dark months.

  • Saturday medals

    First Saturday, April to October

    Strokeplay off the white tees, counting for handicap. Cards in the box by 14:00 and the results on the board before the bar closes.

  • The Spring Meeting

    Second Saturday in May

    Thirty-six holes in a day with lunch in the Long Room between rounds. The Wrenmoor Salver goes to the best gross score.

  • The Heath Foursomes

    A weekend in mid June

    Alternate shot, partners drawn from a hat the Sunday before. First played in 1911, and still the one everybody wants to win.

  • Club Championship

    Last weekend of August

    Thirty-six holes of scratch strokeplay on the Saturday, then the leading eight play it out at matchplay on the Sunday.

  • Mixed Sunday fourballs

    Third Sunday, May to September

    Better-ball Stableford with partners drawn at 08:30, bacon rolls at the turn and a long lunch on the terrace afterwards.

  • Winter league

    November to February, final in March

    Pairs matchplay on Sunday mornings, two matches a month, off temporary tees when the course needs a rest.

Men’s section

Saturday roll-up 07:30 · Wednesday Stableford

Drop a ball in the chute by 07:15 on a Saturday and the draw is made on the 1st tee. The scratch and handicap sides play around twenty matches a season against neighbouring heathland clubs.

Ladies’ section

Tuesday competitions from 09:00

Tuesday is ladies’ day, with a competition every week and lunch after. Silver and Bronze divisions, the Autumn Foursomes, a county league side and a spring trip away to a links course.

Seniors

Thursday roll-up 08:00 · from age 60

Twelve holes in winter, eighteen in summer, and a coffee that tends to run into lunch. A monthly Seniors’ Stableford and home and away matches with a dozen Surrey and Berkshire clubs.

Juniors

Saturday Academy · weekday afternoons

Coached through the Academy on Saturday mornings, then out on the course from 14:00 on weekdays in term time. At a handicap of 20 or under, juniors play the club competitions alongside everyone else.

Six weeks
to election

Most of it is golf. There is no interview and no exam, just a few rounds and a coffee with the people who run the club.

Start with the pack
  1. Before

    Play the course

    Come as a member’s guest, or book a weekday visitor time. Most people know within a round whether the heath suits them.

  2. Week 0

    Proposer and seconder

    Two members of at least two years’ standing, who have played with you, sign your application form.

  3. Weeks 1–2

    A trial round

    Eighteen holes with two members of the Membership Committee. Nobody is judging your swing; they want to know you will enjoy the place and look after it.

  4. Week 3

    Meet Helen Marsh

    Coffee with the Secretary, a walk round the clubhouse and the locker rooms, and a chance to ask about anything from lockers to the waiting list.

  5. Week 6

    Committee election

    The committee meets on the first Monday of each month, so most applicants hear within six weeks. Your first direct debit starts the month after.

The Secretary’s
replies

Helen Marsh, Club Secretary

Most letters I receive before an application ask one of these seven things, so here they are with my answers. Anything else, ring me on 01632 960 418 or write to secretary@wrenmoorheath.co.uk.

Yours,Helen MarshClub Secretary

  1. Dear Mr Okafor,

    For Full seven-day there usually is, and at present it is about twelve months. Five-day, Intermediate, Country and Junior places are normally filled within the six-week election cycle, and Five-day members move across to seven-day in the order they applied, which is how many people start.

    H.M.

  2. Dear Mr Whitlock,

    Please do. Book a weekday visitor time, or ring me and I will arrange a round with a committee member at the members’ guest rate. Most proposers and seconders are found that way.

    H.M.

  3. Dear Mr Hale,

    Write to me by 1 March and you leave at the end of the subscription year on 31 March. Direct debits stop after the final instalment. I am afraid joining fees are not refundable.

    H.M.

  4. Dear Mrs Carr,

    Members of three years’ standing can apply for up to twelve months’ leave of absence at a reduced fee of £350, keeping their category and their place on the handicap system.

    H.M.

  1. Dear Ms Raman,

    Not to apply. You will need a handicap index to play in competitions, and if you do not have one I set up your England Golf record the week you are elected. Three cards marked by any member and you are away.

    H.M.

  2. Dear Mr and Mrs Ellery,

    Not as a single category. When two members of the same household join together, the second joining fee is halved, and children of members can join as Juniors without a proposer.

    H.M.

  3. Dear Mr Pryce,

    Yes, in both locker rooms, at £60 a year. The lockers nearest the drying room have a short list of their own each spring; ask me when you are elected.

    H.M.
