This is great for those that have the leisure time to get their money s worth. We believe the Birkdale concept provides an attractive alternative. The Birkdale concept provides semi private club privileges with no application or initiation fees as well as highly affordable and a manageable low monthly dues structure. Individual or family classifications are available. You choose what best fits your needs. Our membership options are designed to accommodate individual or family needs, availability and budgetary requirements. With only a thirty day cancellation requirement, we ve designed the Birkdale membership relationship to be one that offers flexibility and convenience when it s necessary to the individual to end membership. 1 P age
