Tiverton’s subscription rates are among the lowest of any golf club in Devon and it is now easier than ever to become a member, with no joining fee.
As a member you can:

Tiverton is regarded as one of the best parkland courses in the region, with easy access from the M5 on the Halberton side of Tiverton.
Set in the picturesque Mid Devon countryside, with attractive mature trees lining most holes, it’s a challenging course for golfers of all abilities, measuring a maximum of 6,346 yards for men (par 71) and 5,774 yards for ladies (par 74).
Men’s competitions are mostly played at weekends in a variety of formats.
This section also caters for all members aged over 60, who are eligible to play in veterans’ competitions.
The ladies’ section is well supported with more than 130 playing members who enjoy social and competitive golf, summer and winter.
All members enjoy friendly competitive matches, home and away, throughout the season against other clubs.
Tiverton's thriving junior section currently boasts about 115 members.
Under-18s can take part in a number of competitions and matches and receive professional coaching in separate practice sessions for boys and girls on Sunday mornings. Juniors can also play in many adult events.
The club opened in 1932 on land donated by Tiverton businessman Sir John Amory.
It was created by five-time Open champion James Braid, who designed over 200 courses, including Gleneagles.
Sir John's wife, formerly Joyce Wethered, one of the greatest golfers of all time, was Tiverton's president for 24 years before her death in 1997.
