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 2025 is George Parkes.  He attends Ullswater Community College and has represented the County.  George has worked extremely hard to achieve a very low handicap and is looking forward to his year in office.  He is a member of the junior committee.

Junior Golf Programme 2025

The junior committee will be organising weekly coaching sessions on a Monday evening to run throughout the summer from April-September.  Registration will take place at 5.15pm and the coaching will run between 5.30 and 6.30pm. These sessions will include time both on and off the course.  It is hoped that there will be professional support from both the club and staff from Penrith Golf Hub.  A number of sessions have been held at Penrith Golf Hub during the winter to develop players representing the club in team matches and these have been enjoyed by those attending.

As part of the junior golf programme there will be a number of junior competitions offering different formats over 4, 9 and 18 holes which allows all juniors to take part. It is hoped that there will be a junior team competing in the Cumbria Junior League where matches are played against other clubs both home and away. The SIXES format which was introduced in2024 will be continued providing an excellent opportunity for less experienced junior players to compete in a team format.  It is also planned to re-introduce a Junior Open which has been been previously held and this will also act as a qualifier for the Daily Telegraph qualifying competition. 

A junior fundraising competition will be held in May which provides valuable financial support to the junior section and this has always been well supported by members.

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. Please spread the message to your friends and we look forward to a really good year of golf.
