GIRTON GOLF CLUB

Welcome G

irton Golf Club has been part of the community for over 80 years and is a successful, well-equipped and well-organised members club with excellent facilities sitting in the village of Girton on the edge of Cambridge.

It is known as a no “airs and graces” club, a real golf club, not a multi-sports profit centre. A club where you can just turn up, and be pretty sure of an offer of a game from a fellow member. Above all, a friendly club, where anyone can join, find a welcome and become integrated as part of a family. As Vanda Webb, our long serving club secretary said “We are a traditional golf club: what we do, we do very well”.

Our Golf Club is probably best known for its friendly and relaxed atmosphere that ensures that a round of golf, no matter how tough on the day, is a pleasurable experience.

GGC is owned and run by its members, for its members, currently numbering around 750.

The Directors and Management Committees make the policy and strategic decisions, which are implemented by the Director of Golf Alan Fletcher and his staff. He leads and coordinates the work of the full-time golf professionals, shop, bar, catering, administration and green- keeping functions.

GIRTON GOLF CLUB

Welcome cont...

The clubhouse is an extensive light and airy modern complex, with a smartly furnished lounge, a restaurant and two bars, one spike, recently refurbished locker rooms as well as offices, meeting rooms and the professionals’ shop - all entered through a welcoming archway from the extensive car park. There is also a State of the Art studio for golf swing and putting analysis used extensively by the Club Professionals for teaching and club fitting and an enormous practice ground which has been recently renovated and enhanced to offer facilities for both range ball and own ball users.

Located where Girton meets the fenland levels with drainage ditches crossing a number of holes this is an easy walking parkland course, where the greens are rated among the best in Cambridgeshire.

There are active sections for Ladies, Seniors and Juniors with regular roll ups and competitions for these and male members. All of the Club and Ladies’ Major competitions are held at weekends ensuring everyone can get involved.

The Course & Its History S

ituated at the end of Dodford Lane, Girton, the club has progressed a very long way since its foundation in 1936 as a nine hole course.

In 1965 the members purchased the freehold of the course and set up a company controlled by them, - and the club has never looked back. More land was purchased, and the course was extended to 18 holes in 1979 and the spacious new clubhouse was opened in 1992. The present highly manicured parkland course is very different from the early days when club members cut the fairways themselves with a gang mower

towed behind an old Austin Seven. Nowadays, the green-keeping staff has all the modern machinery required to keep the course immaculate and the greens perfect.

the course just to see with whom you are sharing the fairways. The famous black squirrels can still be seen although their numbers appear to be in some decline of late.

Continuous investment has taken place in remodelling the course, in planting, drainage and implementing a full irrigation system to the greens and tee areas.

The keen golfer will find that whilst the course is comparatively flat it is quite tight and represents a testing challenge of accuracy and control. It is a par 69 of 6012 yards, with two particularly challenging short holes of some 133 and 138 yards (the 4th and the 17th) and an exciting final hole which at 565 yards is one of the longer in the county. from the ladies’ tees the course presents an interesting and demanding 5417 yards at a par 72.

The course is now a visual delight with a profusion of trees and flowering shrubs bordering its fairways and boundaries. There is also an abundance of wildlife seen at the club both in the skies and on the ground – it is always worth looking up when playing

Seniors’ Section G

irton Golf Club has a thriving and very popular Seniors’ Section with many of the club members being over 55 years old and about 50 of those choosing to align themselves with the seniors’ activities.

There is a roll up on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 7:30am with somewhere between 16 and 36 players turning up and drawing lots for playing partners. These groups can play Stableford or Stroke Play rounds and twice a month there are medal rounds to ensure that Club handicaps reflect current abilities. Often other games are played for variety and there is an Invitation Day plus, Spring, Autumn and Winter meets for Trophies, with a lunch afterwards and prize giving.

During the summer months we play 14 other local clubs home and away in matches, all friendlies, with again a lunch to follow. The Seniors Captain selects a team not solely based on ability for each particular match trying to ensure that all get a game or two during the season.

Other activities are organised during the year for example Away Days, Christmas or New Year Dinners, coaching by the club professionals and many of the seniors meet on other days for friendly rounds – just turning up at the club is usually sufficient to find a game with other members.

Our social activities carry a charge, of course, to cover costs, but there is no annual subscription. We have a Seniors Captain and Vice-Captain that change every year, and a Treasurer, Fixture’s Secretary, New Member’s Co-ordinator and an Events Organiser who make up the committee with the immediate past captain.

We welcome all new members whatever their standard and offer a friendly and inclusive round of golf to anyone over 55 who wants to enjoy themselves on the golf course.

GIRTON GOLF CLUB

The Clubhouse G

irton Golf Club prides itself on the friendly welcome afforded to members and visitors by our Bar and Catering Staff headed by our Bar and Catering Manager Steve Drage. Steve and his team welcome you to the clubhouse as well as running many of the fantastic events and celebrations that regularly happen at Girton Golf Club.

The Clubhouse consists of a lounge bar that opens onto the formal dining area and a separate spike bar – all comfortably furnished with a variety of seating options.

The lounge and dining areas can easily be separated to give 2 discreet rooms for private dining and/or meetings but opened up can sit up to about 100 people. The bar that serves both lounge and spike bar is extremely well stocked with a variety of draught and bottled beers and lagers with a good selection of wines and spirits. light meals and snacks can be ordered and there is a “hot plate” for those people with time just to grab a hot freshly made sausage roll or equivalent.

There is also a full menu with daily lunchtime specials available.

GIRTON GOLF CLUB

In addition there is also a separate meeting room, The Eddie Douglas Room, that can comfortably sit 12 people in a board meeting type setting with views over the golf course and ideal for those off site meetings for organisations that require a quiet catered environment as an alternative to in house meeting rooms or hotels.

The Clubhouse also contains the administration office and both male and female locker rooms with direct access from the sheltered outside. Opposite the Men’s locker room door is the custom built unit housing the swing and putting studio.
