Copt Heath is a private members’ club, owned and run by its members. It is a friendly, sociable place to play, with a busy competition calendar and plenty going on in the clubhouse.

Why join Copt Heath

  • The course

    A Vardon and Colt course of 6,541 yards, par 71, kept in excellent condition. It is a good test of golf but a comfortable walk.

  • Winter golf

    Our sandy, free-draining subsoil means we normally play to main greens and tees from November to March, when many parkland courses are on mats and temporary greens.

  • The club

    There are regular roll-ups, a full competition calendar and inter-club matches home and away. Most members stay for a drink or a bite to eat after their round, and new members are made to feel at home quickly.
