Golf Club Membership Card Printing
CP Cards have been supplying Golf Club membership cards to UK clubs and organisations for over 30 years.
Every card is printed here in England, no overseas production and delays.
Orders start from just 25 cards, free delivery is included as standard, and we'll email you a photorealistic proof before anything goes to print.
Golf clubs typically use membership cards to confirm handicap status and playing category — full member, five-day member, junior, or social — which pro shops and starters often check before releasing a tee time. Many clubs also use the card for clubhouse bar and restaurant discounts, and some link it to a locker allocation. Visitor and guest vouchers are sometimes printed as a companion card alongside standard membership cards for clubs that welcome reciprocal play.

High Golf Club Membership Cards printed
Golf club cards are the most likely of any on this site to be handled by staff rather than volunteers, and to be judged as an object rather than a credential. A proprietary club’s card is part of what the subscription buys.
That opens up finishes other clubs rarely use — embossing, metallic bases — alongside the standard solid PVC, full colour both sides, free delivery within Great Britain, from 25 cards.
There are golf club membership card examples below, and full specifications on our membership card printing page.
What a Golf Club Membership Card Needs to Show
The front carries the club name and crest, the member’s name, their membership number and their playing category — seven-day, five-day, country, intermediate, junior or social — along with the year. Where a club works to a central handicap record, the handicap or CDH number usually sits alongside the membership number.
Of all of those, the number that earns its place is whichever one the pro shop actually types in when releasing a tee time. Whatever your system uses, make that the field somebody can read across a counter without picking the card up.
The reverse is generally given over to the things members ask about: competition entry arrangements, the dress code for the clubhouse and the course, the terms of any pro shop or bar discount, and a contact number for the office. Dress code in particular repays the space — it is the single most common reason a member or their guest has an awkward conversation at the door.
A Card That Lives in a Golf Bag All Year
A golf bag is outdoors for four or five hours at a stretch, in every month of the year, and the pocket a membership card lives in is invariably the same pocket as the tees, a wet glove and a pitch mark repairer. In July that bag then sits in a car boot at thirty-odd degrees.
Printed card and laminating pouches both fail that test, one by going soft and the other by curling and lifting at the corners. Our golf club membership cards are 760-micron solid PVC — bank card thickness — with the design sealed beneath the card’s surface, so tees and markers cannot scratch through to the print, rain does nothing, and heat will not warp them.
The result is a card that still looks like a golf club’s card at the end of the season, not something apologetic pulled out of a side pocket.
Extras for Golf Club Membership Cards
Embossing is the one that changes how a golf club card feels in the hand. Raised characters, exactly as on a credit card, in black, metallic silver or metallic gold, on the bottom half of one side. Two character heights are available: 5mm, which fits 22 characters on a line including spaces, and 3mm, which fits 27. A member’s name embossed across the bottom of a card is a small piece of theatre that suits a golf club particularly well.
For clubs wanting the whole card to read as premium, a metallic base card starts as gold or silver across its entire surface with your design printed over it in full colour. It is a common choice for distinguishing a top membership tier. Just remember that white will not show, since there is no white base beneath the metallic.
Guest and visitor vouchers are worth mentioning separately. Clubs that welcome reciprocal or introduced play often order a companion card to the same design, and a scratch-off panel — typically 8mm x 75mm — conceals a code underneath that is only revealed when the voucher is used. The wording beneath the panel is usually supplied in an Excel file so it differs card to card.
More prosaically, a barcode connects the card to the pro shop or bar till, and sequential numbering keeps everything tied back to the membership register.
Membership Card Examples
The golf club cards below range from plain
functional cards to embossed and metallic ones, and the split usually follows
whether the club is members’-owned or proprietary.
Look at how the better examples handle category and handicap without crowding the
front. Send us your crest and tell us which end of that range you are aiming at.

The golf quote varies more than most, because the finish options do. A standard
printed card, an embossed card and a metallic base card are three quite different
prices.
Tell us your category split, rough numbers, and whether you want guest vouchers in
the same order — a lot of clubs do, and running them together is cheaper.

Design Service
Crest, colours, and a standard to match?
Our Design Service works to it
for just £29 +vat
Golf clubs generally have a clear visual identity already, so the job is fitting the
card to it rather than inventing one. We will build both sides around your crest,
place the category and handicap where the pro shop will look, and keep the dress
code legible on the reverse.
You approve the proof before printing.
Artwork Fixing Service
Golf club crests are usually well looked after — they are on the scorecards,
the signage and the merchandise — so the artwork is often already correct.
The issue instead tends to be embossing. Raised characters take 22 per line at 5mm
or 27 at 3mm including spaces, and a long member name will not fit. We will check
your list against that before printing, and correct artwork issues for
just £10 +vat.
Free Photorealistic Email Proof
To give you complete confidence before we go to print, we’ll email you a
free, high-quality, computer-generated photorealistic proof of your full colour plastic Golf Club membership cards.
This realistic mock-up shows how your finished Golf Club membership cards will look, so you can check and approve the layout, text and overall design before production begins.
Fast Production Time
Most golf clubs run a subscription year that renews in the new year or at the start
of April, and cards need to be with members before the first competition of the
season.
Production is 7 working days from proof
approval, with 4 working day express available.
Embossing and metallic cards are worth ordering earlier rather than later —
they are a more involved job than a straight printed card.
Free Delivery
FREE DELIVERY within Great Britain, on any
quantity.
Golf is one of the easiest deliveries we handle: a staffed clubhouse or
secretary’s office, open most of the day, most days. Cards get signed for
first time.
Everything travels in plain, unbranded packaging with no paperwork inside. If
guest vouchers should go to the pro shop rather than the office, tell us and we
will label them separately.
Made in England
For a club whose card is part of the membership experience, consistency across
reorders is the whole game.
A card that is subtly different from the one a member carried last year is the sort
of thing that gets noticed and mentioned at a golf club. Every run comes off the
same press from the same stock, and where metallic or embossed finishes are
involved that matters more, not less.
We keep your artwork on file indefinitely.
100% Recyclable
A club reissuing annually across several categories gets through a steady volume,
and members generally discard the old card the moment the new one arrives.
Our standard cards are solid PVC and recycle through
standard household and commercial facilities.
Worth noting the exception: metallic and embossed cards are the ones members are
most likely to keep, which makes them the least of your disposal problem.
Biodegradable cards are available for
the standard categories.
Optional Extras
Golf is the club type that uses the premium extras most.
Embossing gives raised characters exactly as on a credit card, in
black, metallic silver or gold, on the bottom half of one side — 22 characters
at 5mm or 27 at 3mm. A metallic base card makes an unmistakable top
category. And scratch-off panels conceal codes on guest vouchers.
Barcodes handle the pro shop and bar till.
Our vast range of optional extras combined with our competitive prices and fast, friendly service makes us a market leader which keeps our customers returning time after time as well as recommending us.
The majority of cards that we print have a signature strip and also a unique number which is usually sequential however you can supply an Excel document and we can print the details from the document onto the cards so each one has unique details. For example, their name, membership number, expiry date, level of membership etc.
Membership Card Specifications
760-micron solid PVC,
Full Colour (CMYK)
on both sides at no extra cost, print
sealed beneath the surface so tees and markers
in the same pocket cannot scratch it.
Premium matt is the more upmarket of the two
finishes and is what most clubs choose here.
High gloss costs the same and suits a card
carrying a photograph of the course.
Bureau Personalisation Service
Golf clubs recruit through the year — a summer joining offer, a winter rate
— and a new member paying a full subscription expects their card promptly,
not at the next print run.
Our Bureau Personalisation Service covers it. We
hold your printed stock; you email the details and we personalise and post the card
within 3 working days.
For a club selling a premium product, that turnaround is part of the impression.
A Plastic Card to Approve
For golf, the printed card is close to essential rather than optional, because the
finishes you are most likely to be choosing cannot be judged on a screen at all.
Embossing is tactile. A metallic base shifts as it tilts. Neither photographs
usefully, and both are the reason you are paying more than for a plain card.
Holding one settles it.
We will print a real card from your artwork and post it to you.
Artwork Specifications & Guides
Two points from the guide that bite hardest on golf cards.
Count your embossing characters. 22 at 5mm, 27 at 3mm, spaces
included. Check your longest member name before you commit to the layout.
No white on metallic. There is no white base beneath a metallic
card, so anything left blank shows as gold or silver rather than white.

Golf Club Membership Card FAQs
Can golf club cards show handicap and membership category?
Yes. Both are normally printed on the front alongside the membership number. If your handicaps change through the season, a signature strip labelled for it lets the office pen in an updated figure.
Can the card be linked to locker allocation or clubhouse discounts?
Yes. A locker number can be printed or written on a signature strip, and a barcode ties the card to your pro shop or bar till so member pricing is applied automatically.
Can you print visitor or guest vouchers alongside membership cards?
Yes. Clubs often order a companion voucher card to the same design. A scratch-off panel can conceal a unique code, with the wording underneath supplied in an Excel file so it differs on every card.
What's the minimum order for golf club cards?
25 cards, which is useful for a batch of guest vouchers or a single membership category as much as for a full club order.
Can members' names be embossed on the card?
Yes. Embossing gives raised characters just like a credit card, in black, metallic silver or metallic gold, on the bottom half of one side. You get 22 characters at 5mm height or 27 at 3mm, including spaces.
Can we have a metallic gold card for a premium membership tier?
Yes. A metallic base card is gold or silver across the whole surface with your design printed over it in full colour. The one design constraint is that white text and white images will not show.
Will the card cope with living in a golf bag?
Yes. It is 760-micron solid PVC with the print sealed beneath the surface, so tees and markers in the same pocket will not scratch it and a hot car boot will not warp it.
Can each card carry its own member's name and number?
Yes. Supply an Excel file containing only the details to be printed and every card is individually printed within one production run, with no extra artwork charge.
