Women In Golf Clubs
I believe it time the doors were opened for ALL, after all there are Ladies Golfers that are members and I believe as a member you should have "Access All Area's".
And they provide a welcome diversion.

In this day and age Abergele GC should get slaughtered..
How can they discriminate and get away with it..
We have women in our club and they are our equals as they should be...
If my wife was not allowed in then I would not go in (showers excluded)

Sutton Coldfield GC in Birmingham is men only FULL STOP. No women allowed at the club, let lone in the bar. Completely inappropriate in this day and age and I dread to think what would happen should someone take them to court.
All clubs should be open to all players regardless of age, sex, race or religion, subject to them being able to play to the required standard that the COURSE, NOT THE COMMITTEE demands.

Most Course that I know of now have a Set Fee for Membership (Junior & 5 Day Week reductions only) and no set days/times that are Men or Ladies Only.
When I used to play (30 Years Ago) the Ladies had a different fee scale and were not allowed to play the course prior to 12noon at weekends (unless it was a mixed comp) so had a ladies day on Tuesday. There was also certain competition days when Ladies were not allowed on the course.
Clubhouse - I've never known any restrictions on ladies.

I'd rather play with a woman golfer than the men (exception for my little brother) without question. Especially a single one.

You may find that the lower fees clubs also have restrictions on Tee Time availability.
That was how it used to be when I played before
