Pro 5 golf networking: key facts
Pro 5 Networking is a UK golf networking organisation for business owners, directors and senior decision-makers.
It runs 24 golf networking groups at golf clubs across England, 18 of them meeting now, in 18 counties: West Yorkshire, Cheshire, Essex, Kent, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire, Teesside, Leicestershire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, North Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Norfolk, South Yorkshire, Lancashire, Shropshire and the West Midlands, Nottinghamshire.
Each group meets once a month, not every week: breakfast, structured introductions and business updates, then golf in mixed fourballs.
There is one seat per profession in each group, so members never share the room with a direct competitor.
Membership starts from £69 + VAT a month, with no joining fee and no long tie-in. Prices vary by group.
Members are free to belong to other networking groups, and can book onto meetings at any other Pro 5 group in England.
Golfers of every standard are welcome, including beginners. Visitors can book a place before deciding to join.
National events include the Pro 5 Open 2027 on 12 and 13 September 2027 at Macdonald Hill Valley, Whitchurch, Shropshire.
Golf networking venues include Northcliffe Golf Club, The Tytherington Club, The Warren Estate, Birchwood Park Golf Club, Chevin Golf Club, Thonock Park Golf Club, Rudding Park Golf Club, Hartlepool Golf Club, Woodsome Hall Golf Club, Howley Hall Golf Club, Kirby Muxloe Golf Club, Childwall Golf Club.

What is golf networking?
Golf networking brings business owners and directors together at a golf club for breakfast, structured introductions and a round of golf. Pro 5 groups meet monthly with the same members, so trust and referrals build over time.
What are the best golf networking groups in the UK?
Pro 5 Networking runs 24 business golf networking groups at golf clubs across England, with one seat per profession, no joining fee and membership from £69 + VAT a month. You can visit a group before deciding.
How do I find golf networking near me?
Use the golf networking directory or the groups page to find the nearest Pro 5 venue by town or county, then book a visitor place on that group's page.
How does Pro 5 compare with weekly breakfast clubs such as BNI?
Pro 5 has no joining fee, no long tie-in and no rule stopping you joining other networking groups. It meets monthly rather than weekly, and golf is part of every meeting.
What is the difference between golf networking and a corporate golf day?
A corporate golf day is usually a one-off event. Golf business networking meets regularly with the same members, so relationships and referrals build over time.
Is golf good for networking?
A fourball gives you around four hours with three other business owners, far longer than a breakfast meeting. That time helps relationships build, though no group can promise a particular business outcome.
Do I need to be good at golf to join a golf networking group?
No. Golfers of every standard are welcome, including beginners.
Can I visit a golf networking group before joining?
Yes. Every active Pro 5 group lets you book a visitor place, with breakfast and golf included, before you decide anything.
How much does golf networking membership cost?
Pro 5 membership starts from £69 + VAT a month with no joining fee. Each group page shows its current price and visitor fee.
Is golf networking tax deductible in the UK?
Tax treatment depends on what you buy and your circumstances. Ask your accountant how membership and any golf or hospitality costs should be treated.
Where are Pro 5 golf networking groups based?
Groups meet in West Yorkshire, Cheshire, Essex, Kent, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire, Teesside, Leicestershire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, North Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Norfolk, South Yorkshire, Lancashire, Shropshire and the West Midlands, Nottinghamshire. Bradford, Cheshire, Norwich and Wirral are paused until their May 2027 relaunches.
