Ladies Membership

The Ladies' Section is an important and integral part of West Byfleet Golf Club with currently around 100 lady members, participating in ladies and mixed competitions and the many social events held at the club.

The Ladies have a very active golfing calendar, with competitions, either qualifiers or fun, played on Thursday and either Saturday or Sunday each week. In addition, the Club runs inclusive, mixed competitions through the year on varied days of the week.

We also play many friendly matches against other local clubs both on weekdays and at weekends, as well as participating in the main Surrey leagues and knockouts; more details below.

Chosen charity for 2023
For 2023 The Captain and Ladies Captain have chosen local charity Woking & Sam Beare Hospice.    

A variety of fund raising activities will take place during 2023.

Further information
We have an excellent programme of competitive and fun competitions for all our members, from experienced players to those completely new to golf, and everyone has the opportunity to join in to play and have a good time. Thursdays and Saturday or Sunday mornings are when the ladies section run competitions and fun events and there is also a roll-up which meets on a Tuesday morning.

Our Ladies' Captain heads up the Ladies' Committee who meet once a month to plan the smooth running of all ladies' events, be they golf or social meetings. The Committee works closely with the Office team to organise all friendly and competitive matches and has a voice on the club Committee to ensure that the views of the Ladies Section are fully represented.

As a club within Surrey we are affiliated to Surrey Ladies County Golf Association and as such are eligible to play in the following competitions:

The Hicks Trophy & Hicks Plate - A scratch singles match play with a team of five playing Surrey clubs, both home and away. Normally players of handicaps between 1-12.  First round losers qualify for the Hicks Plate.  West Byfleet has won the Hicks Plate in recent years.
Pearson Trophy - A handicap competition for players with handicaps of 13 - 32.  A drawn competition of 4/5 other Surrey clubs who play both home and away.  The winners of each group play against each other.  The overall winner then represents Surrey against other counties.
Centenary Bowl & Centenary Plate - An interclub scratch singles , match play with five players playing both home and away, open to players with a handicap of 10 and over. West Byfleet has been a winner of the Centenary Plate in recent years.
Derry Cup & Helme Shield - A team of three players with low handicaps play other Surrey Clubs, both home and away, in an interclub scratch singles match play. 

Alongside these are a number of very popular “friendly” ladies and mixed matches played home and away against other clubs. Over the years these matches have led to many strong friendships being formed.  

Bridge - For those keen to play cards there is a well organised regular Bridge Club where members and friends can join in organised events, or meet anytime to play, chat and have afternoon tea.

A truly warm, friendly welcome always awaits visitors and guests and you are sure to enjoy the challenges of our beautifully maintained golf course.

We also welcome new golfers who are moving into the area or who just wish to change golf clubs!
