Private members' golf clubs

Great clubs, made stronger.

Link Club puts the course first, raising standards throughout while protecting the character that makes each one worth belonging to.

“If you want to have a successful golf club you have to present the best course possible.”

Bury Golf Club · Joining Link Club

A members' club since 1890. The next chapter starts now.

Bury Golf Club's members have voted to join Link Club. Phase one puts £500,000 into the clubhouse and, most importantly, the course: a new members' bar, a terrace over the 18th, new locker rooms and investment in the course itself.

To mark the start, one person will win a full membership of Bury Golf Club in March 2027. Current, former and new members can all enter, and entry is free.

The idea, the people, the thinking

What we believe

Four core beliefs

The strongest time to shape a club's future is while there is still freedom to choose it.

A proud past deserves a plan for the future.

The greatest clubs should shape their future while they have the freedom to do so. Planning ahead is an act of stewardship that keeps a club's heritage alive for the next generation.

Progress makes a club more itself, not less.

Successful change builds on what members already value, and loses what they don't. Protection and progress are not opposing ideas, and with us each strengthens the other.

Trust is always built in the open.

Clubs deserve clarity around plans and any decisions required. We earn trust by being honest about what we'll do and then consistently deliver on it.

The course matters because the game does.

A club's value is not in what the land is worth. Commercial success matters because it keeps golf on the course and the club around it a future.

Wherever you sit in the club

A club worth joining.

Familiar character. Visible progress.

Your club stays your club. What you notice is the course, the bar and the booking.

Long-term strength without losing identity.

It starts with a conversation, in confidence, and the decision stays with the club.

Clear direction with proper support.

Greenkeepers, bar and desk staff, and the people behind them.
