From the Clubhouse: Are we being priced out of playing the UK’s top golf courses?

Is it market forces or an attempt to cash in? On this week's From the Clubhouse podcast, Steve Carroll and Tom Irwin discuss whether ticking off a bucket list course is becoming out of reach
 

What is happening with pricing at our best golf courses? Is a true bucket list experience increasingly becoming out of reach for the average club golfer?

As we peer ahead into 2023 and start looking at booking our summer trips, it’s clear that it’s becoming ever more expensive to tick off a layout that appears in the various Top 100 lists, such as NCG Top 100s.

On this week’s From the Clubhouse, a podcast from National Club Golfer, Tom and I delve into visitor green fee costs at our most prestigious venues – considering the current set of increases, why courses are putting up their prices, and what it might mean for those of us who aspire to play them.

We also look at smart ways of lessening the impact on the wallet for those prepared to swerve a summer weekend tee time, and speculate on what might happen to UK golf in the future if prices continue to spiral.

You’re in for a lively hour of debate…
