Golf

WHAT IS GOLF?

Golf is a club-and-ball sport in which players use various clubs to hit a ball into a hole in as few strokes as possible.

A full round consists of 18 holes, but unlike other sports, Golf courses can differ greatly in size and difficulty making it a very strategic game where concentration is key.

GET STARTED

To be a part of the club, you need to join up as a member. The different club membership options are listed in the tab above with a description of what each membership covers. By purchasing a membership you are agreeing to the club's code of conduct.

If you have golf clubs to hand, that would be extremely helpful. However, we also provide a set of beginner golf clubs for those who do not own the equipment. Furthermore, if individuals have golf shoes for when we play on the course then this would also be useful.
