Membership

Royal Wellington enjoys two marvelous courses, a beautiful club house and a strong and active membership. While the club holds its traditional values dearly, it is a proudly progressive club and one that encourages its members to have fun. New members are made to feel welcome and to join in both the competitive and social sides of the club.

‘If you are interested in becoming a New Zealand based member, please email office@rwgc.co.nz to request a call back from us. It helps if you know a current member, but if that is not the case, the club can assist by introducing you to member mentors, who can guide you through the process, including the nomination papers. Once your application is accepted, it is reviewed and ratified. The whole process does not take long, and while your application is being processed you are able to use all the facilities including playing golf with a member. Once that is completed you will need to pay your annual subscription, which is prorated from the time of joining. There are payment options available.
