Full Membership (Seven Day)

Full members of South Herts have unrestricted access to all the club facilities. There are a large number of medal, stableford and match play competitions for all sections of the Club throughout the year, and a full programme of inter-club matches for men, ladies and juniors. South Herts has traditionally had a strong scratch team that competes at the highest level in Hertfordshire amateur golf. Candidates for Full membership must have a handicap of at most 24 for men or 36 for ladies and must either be proposed and seconded by existing members, or be a current or recent member of another golf club. All prospective members are interviewed by two senior members of the Club as part of the entry process.

Five Day Membership

Five Day membership offers all the advantages of Full membership with the exception that the Vardon course may not be used at weekends or on Bank Holidays. The entry process is similar to that for Full members, but there are no handicap restrictions - although candidates will be expected to have some golfing ability and  demonstrate an awareness of the importance of abiding by the etiquette of golf. A Five Day member who achieves a handicap of 24 for men or 36 for ladies may apply for transfer to Full membership.

Intermediate Rates

Reduced subscription rates are available for Full and Five Day members between the ages of 18 and 28.

Vardon Academy

The Vardon Academy offers people a practical way of starting the game, and can also be a route to Full membership. Membership of the Vardon Academy offers 6 months unlimited play on the Rees Course, 6 lessons with our PGA qualified professionals, and use of the Clubhouse (with the exception of the restaurant). The lessons cover not only the techniques of the game, but also the common sense basis of golf etiquette. Achievement of an adequate standard of play and demonstration of an understanding of the need to abide by the etiquette of the game will enable the professional staff to recommend candidates for Full or Five Day membership of the Club.

Junior Membership

The Club actively encourages juniors (under 18s) to join whether or not they already have family connections. Junior members have full use of the Rees course, and may play the Vardon course at certain times. A popular event is the regular Monday 'Junior Evening' at South Herts when many Junior members meet and play the Vardon course. The Clubs PGA qualified professionals support the junior coaching scheme run in association with the Golf Foundation. Junior members who show sufficient enthusiasm to improve may be offered free coaching with the head professional. There are numerous Junior competitions throughout the year, and the Junior team plays in a number of inter-club competitions during the season.
