Junior Section

Junior Golf 

The junior committee meet on a regular basis to organise and develop junior golf at the club.  It works in close partnership with local organisations such as Eden Valley Schools Sports Partnership, and also national organisations such as England Golf and the Golf Foundation. There are excellent facilities on offer with an 18 hole course, 9 hole junior academy course, 3 hole practice area, putting green, chipping green and undercover driving range.

The junior membership is excellent value; our junior cadet membership is for juniors aged 11 and below is £10 and junior membership for those aged 12-18 years is £50. Golf clubs can be provided to juniors who require them.

The junior captain for 2026 is Joseph Tinkler.  He attends Keswick School and has been a junior member for 4 years.  His playing handicap is 12.  He is a member of the junior committee and is looking forward to his year in office.

Junior Golf programme 2026

The principal aim of junior golf at the club is to ensure that those attending have fun and enjoyment and play golf in the right spirit.

The junior committee will be overseeing junior golf activities next year.  It is hoped that the coaching sessions will continue on a Monday evening running from April-September.  These sessions will include time both on and off the course. A number of winter golf coaching sessions were held at the Golf Hub at the end of last year and it is hoped that this will continue.  It was thoroughly enjoyed by those attending under the guidance of Andrew Pickering, Golf professional at the Hub.

Junior competitions will take place across the summer months offering different formats over 4, 9 and 18 holes which allows all juniors to take participate. It is hoped that there will be a junior team competing in the Cumbria Junior League where matches are played against neighbouring clubs on a home and away basis.  The SIXES format will be continued providing an excellent opportunity for less experienced juniors to compete in a team format. It is also intended to run a junior open at Penrith in 2026.
