While unlimited membership remains the best choice for many regular players, some golfers -whose playing time varies throughout the year – many prefer a model that better reflects how often they play.

The new points membership allows members to invest in a pot of points to use over 12 months, giving them flexibility without losing the benefits of belonging to a club.

Higher tiers include increasing bonus points, rewarding greater commitment and enhancing overall value.

Members can also roll over up to 20 per cent of unused points when renewing at the same or higher tier, reducing pressure if plans change during the year.

Depending on tier and playing patterns, the structure can deliver up to 58 per cent saving per round compared to standard green fees, providing clear, transparent value.

Bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, joint and concession memberships are available, ensuring options for occasional players, regular golfers and those who prefer traditional unlimited access.

The launch builds on continued investment and improvements at the Colchester course following its recent takeover — marking another step in modernising the club’s offering while maintaining choice for all golfers.
