Community
“We consider ourselves to be a community club of around 500
locally based members located half way between the larger
towns of Dumfries and Carlisle and actively encourage golfers
of all backgrounds, age, sex, religion or ability.”
Challenges/Ambitions
“One of the biggest challenges facing the club over the next 5
years is the aging demographic of membership both at Powfoot
and in general. Attracting younger players is a challenge in
view of the range of other activities, sporting or otherwise,
which are available to them.
The club’s ambitions are to maintain and grow, if possible,
the membership base by adding value to the membership
package, which includes membership of the James Braid
Association, where our members are entitled to play at other
Braid Association courses for a reduced fee, discounted range
ball tokens and discounted rates for members’ guests. We are
planning to undertake a full membership survey this winter
to identify what our members would like to see happen at
Powfoot Golf Club and the results will form the basis of a 5
year plan for the club.”
