Social Playing Member is our way of introducing new Members to life as a Member in a Private Golf Club. Social Playing Members gain an official Golf Australia Handicap administered by Ryde-Parramatta Golf Club which enables them to enter and play in our Friday Open Competition. Peace of mind. As a Social Playing Member you are affiliated with Golf Australia and as such are covered by an on-course insurance policy giving you peace of mind cover when playing on any course within Australia. Flexible option without financial pressure. A common barrier to playing more golf and finding the time to relax on the course is either time or cost. With this option you pay a low annual fee and pay as you play. If funds are low then take a break. Upgrade options. If you find the course and playing in competitions is to your liking you are welcome to apply to upgrade to a regular playing category at any time.
