I'd email them out of courtesy but not sure what/if the correct etiquette would be. Not planning to test it soon

I left my old club in June. That was when my membership expired. I didn't notify the club in any way I just didn't renew for the year.
To be honest I treated it just like a phone contract or sky subscription. Golf clubs are in business they are not my buddy's. Don't get me wrong I had a laugh with people there & stI'll go back for the odd round
If I was asked about extending my membership I would have politely declined for my own reasons but I do not have to explain myself.
From a lot of posts it seems a lot of people feel they have to explain to clubs their reasons

whilst I understand you might not want to give a reason for leaving it certainly help the club if they knew the reasons, if you was unhappy with it, too expensive, quality if the course, it all helps feedback for the club.
we try and find out why everyone is leaving as it helps us understand what we can do to change things as Golf memberships are changing all the time.

Joined Mach Dunes Steve, go down every fortnight. I play a lot of away golf so was playing Glenbervie less and less each year meaning it was no longer value for money.

It is in a way Crawford but at £245 a year against £1000 that leaves me £755 to play opens, guest fees and paying as visitor. Will give it a year see how it pans out. I also resigned from my job starting a new one 19th Feb which will involve travelling north of the A66 and all of Scotland so I will get very little mid week golf in.

I'm sure it will all work out for you.
How much are you going to spend on Fuel to get to Campbelttown?

Fuel costs are shared. Car with 2/3/4 people on board.

I'd love to see a Golf Club come after a former member for unpaid fees.. All bluster and bravado.. a communication might be a courtesy but it sure aint a necessity.. FFS, the attitude of some clubs might explain why club membership is becoming less and less fashionable..

Last club sent round a pack with notice of fees, a form for DD and a form to sign if you weren't renewing.
Just signed the form and handed it over at the shop.

And I tend to agree with Mr Wolf on this too.....

Word of mouth for the one I left, didn't bother with a letter explaining; after an EGM and over 90 others walking at the same time, if they couldn't work it out themselves a letter wouldn't have helped.
Were I to leave my current club (which I have absolutely no intention of doing) I would write to explain why and to thank them for the times I've enjoyed there. I think to some degree the way the club treats you will, rightly or wrongly, affect the way you leave.

Should probably add that I said I was sorry to leave but explained my reasons for going, some of which they can't do anything about but at least it gives them some knowledge about what leavers are thinking.

One club I requested to leave part way through the year, due to relocation, a polite email from me, and they agreed. The last club they sent out the renewal packs, again a quick email to the membership secretary to say I wasn’t rejoining, and explaining why.
I think it all depends on the club and the circumstances in which you are leaving.
