Golf

Junior golf is a great way for younger members to become more involved in the Club and to receive the encouragement they need to develop their skills. It is for anyone under the age of 18.

To use the courses without an adult being present junior players must hold a Junior Golf Pass or have been assessed by a member of the Golf Team as having an appropriate standard of play and an understanding of the rules and etiquette of golf.

Junior Pass Holders with an official handicap have the same rights of access to the courses as other Golf Pass Holders. All other juniors and their guests have the same rights of access to the course as other non-Pass Holders.

Woodcote Juniors receive complimentary access to the Coronation Course with an adult member, following the appropriate assessment.

Becoming a Junior Pass Holder brings with it a range of opportunities for all levels, including access to advice from the Club’s Professionals, weekly group coaching, the chance to meet other junior members in a social learning environment and the opportunity to enter Club competitions.

Coaching Clinic

Junior golf coaching takes place on the driving range from 2.00 until 3.00pm each Sunday under the guidance of a PGA Professional.

These group coaching sessions are a great way to learn the game of golf, create friendships and, with each session, see your skills improve as you learn about all aspects of the game from driving to putting.

Junior Golf Pass Holders: complimentary Woodcote Juniors: £10.00
