Our Junior Section

Our golf club has a long tradition of nurturing and encouraging young golfers as they progress on their golfing journey. Golf is one of the few sports that can be played for a lifetime and the younger you start the better. Golf not only teaches young people a sport, it teaches them discipline and ethical standards that last for a lifetime. Golf is also proven to positively assist in combating mental health issues.  All these many benefits on offer whilst they enjoy themselves learning a new sport and hobby and meeting new friends!

We encourage young people to participate by offering free Junior Membership to under 10's and significantly reduced rates for all our juniors until they reach adult golf at 19 years of age. Our practice facilities, particularly our Golf Academy building are extensive and offer the best opportunities in teaching technology. Our PGA Professional, Paul McEvoy has years of experience in coaching young people and its guaranteed that everyone will enjoy themselves, whilst learning to play a great game.

No matter the age or experience of your child we are able to offer a comprehensive Junior Academy Programme which is tailored for them. We have built our programme around the key concepts of why children play sport and most importantly, stay in sport.

Creating the right environment is so important with our aim to create an environment which is conducive to fun, learning and friendship. Allowing your children to learn at their own pace through a programme of self-discovery and game based learning, whether on course or the driving range.
