GOLF SHOPPER
A GOLF MEMBERSHIP THAT
TRAVELS WITH YOU When One Golf Club launched in late 2007, a unique concept in golf was born! Brainchild of Sandy Ganatra; he looked to create an exclusive and flexible golf subscription service that allowed golfing enthusiasts to access a variety of specially selected courses across the UK (and internationally)... under one single membership!
F
or prospective One Golf Club members, the opportunity to challenge themselves at an array of different courses, preferential room rates at exclusive international golf resorts, the regular annual competitions and discounted lessons with leading teaching professionals make for an attractive proposition. In addition, OGC also has access to a number of golf simulators throughout the country – for those members with busy schedules or just simply looking to improve their overall game. Equally, One Golf Club’s unique concept also seeks a build a symbiotic

relationship with its partner courses where protecting and promoting their interests is also paramount. A valueadded service that not only introduces its members to the unique challenges and facilities of the individual clubs but also by hosting events, promoting club events to OGC members, and supporting any events with team entries from the OGC membership. In addition, all OGC members are encouraged and supported to use the portfolio courses for their own corporate events and golfing societies. The One Golf Club Subscription isn’t meant to replace traditional golf club membership but to complement it: For the partner clubs, a profiled membership (OGC average member handicap is 12.7), limited access to tees and the additional revenue from events, sponsorship opportunities and the OGC ‘higher-than-average’ visitor spend, means partnering up with One Golf offers an attractive addition to their green fees. OGC members do not participate in any club competitions and will always strictly avoid memberonly times. However, many OGC members do go on to join member clubs, that they otherwise may not have visited. The course list has expanded rapidly in recent years to include venues from Brighton to Birmingham. In 2022 OGC also added its first international venues to the portfolio, including Canada, Portugal, and Dubai.
Scotland and Ireland will follow later this year. OGC is a sponsor for the Disabled Golfers Association, The Royal Marsden and The Kidney fund, and members participate in club events to raise funds for good causes, always on the portfolio clubs. The membership comprises of professional golfers, corporates and individuals with each category having its own benefits. The OGC Golf Concierge service manages bookings for all its members.
