As a member of the BSGC you join past & current generations of golf enthusiasts in learning, developing and advancing the game of golf in our community. In agreement with Fairmont, our Club has a maximum of 200 Adult and Intermediate members, along with an active Juniors program to develop future generations of golfers. Club members enjoy some very unique benefits, however your membership in the club also brings with it some responsibilities, to amongst other things: respect the game of golf, respect the course, and respect fellow members, guest and public players. Together with Fairmont we take pride in ensuring the sustainability of our environment, our facilities and equipment, and the volunteers and staff involved in operating the club and the course.
