Is there a setting to make clubs visible only for members of the actual site? I'm aware of the different club levels and their visibility options but basically would want to make clubs visible for site members only

Yes,

you could set the module permissions to hide clubs from guests. ( ACP => Applications )

 

Thanks! That is awesome.

I do appreciate the individual club settings but when starting a complete new page it looks really sad - and a bit of a turn off) having clubs with very little info so I was thinking of hiding them fullstop
