Ladies Golf
We have a great ladies golf program, with the aim to continue to grow the sport for women.
For those wishing to play competitions, we have a dedicated women's competition on Thursdays (the main group tee off between 8-9am), a ladies competition on Saturdays (tee off any time of the day) and open single Stableford competitions every other day.
For ladies new to the sport, or wanting to improve their skills our weekly ladies only coaching clinics are also here to support you.

Here’s a hint for Foursomes strategy. Determine which are the toughest driving holes on the course. Factor that into your decision on who hits off at the 1 st tee. You want your best driver to be teeing off on as many of the toughest driving holes as possible.
