Services
Golf Course
Our 18-hole championship course challenges players with undulating fairways, strategic bunkering, and fast greens. Regularly hosting county and national amateur events, it offers a test of skill for all handicaps while maintaining playability. The course's firm, links-style playing surfaces demand precise shot-making, particularly during summer months when conditions become firmest.
PGA Coaching
Led by Director of Golf David McNicholas, our PGA-certified coaching caters to individuals and groups. We offer customised programmes for juniors, beginners, and competitive players, including Vision54 SuperCoach methodology. Our holistic approach combines technical instruction with sports psychology to improve performance at every level.
Corporate Events
We provide tailored corporate golf days with access to our championship course, practice facilities, and function rooms. Packages include professional guidance, catering options, and event coordination for team-building or client entertainment. Our Centenary Function Room accommodates up to 150 guests for post-event hospitality.
Practice Facilities
Our practice areas feature driving ranges, chipping greens, and bunker complexes mirroring course conditions. The facilities support skill development for all abilities, with dedicated short-game areas designed to improve precision around the greens. Lighting allows evening practice during winter months.
Community Programmes
We run community initiatives introducing golf to juniors and adults through PGA-led group sessions. Our programmes focus on fundamental skills development through structured lessons and social games. Initiatives like the Laddie Lucas award-winning girls' golf project demonstrate our commitment to inclusive participation.
