People don’t understand that when I was growing up, I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly wasn’t the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic, and that is what has got me to where I am today.

We cater for all, with our 18 hole strokeplay and 9 hole stableford events to our flag events for those a little earlier in their career on the course we will get you out playing with those of similar ages and abilities. Our flag events consist of each player being awarded 36 shots to get as far round a shortened golf course as possible. Points are awarded based on each players finishing position in the flag event and stableford score in both the 9 and 18 hole stableford.
