GOLF
Our Golf programme is based primarily around the 360 activity slots but also with nets-based sessions in lunchtimes. We are lucky enough to have access to some world class links golf courses in the Southwest area along with a superb parkland course at Holsworthy, where the majority of our sessions are based.
Holsworthy has a challenging, yet accessible, 18-hole course, a driving range and short game practice areas. The club has proven to be a superb welcoming environment that has developed both novice and experienced golfers.
Our golfers have already seen a number of successes with a win at the Devon County Junior Championships and subsequent qualification to the prestigious ISGA National finals in their first year.
The programme is run under the guidance of Mr Grey who himself was on an International development programme as a junior and has worked at the British Open.
