How to deny access to a folder, but allow access to every subfolders (wildcard)

[B.R.]

nginx provides a prefix to match exact URIs:
location = /members {
    deny all;
}

All the different prefixes and their use can be found in the location
<http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#location>
directive documentation.

You do not need to set any location for "/members/.+"-like URIs, unless you
need to specify directives specific to it.
You could then use:
location /members {
    [...]
}
