Play Golf at Bishopswood

“Being a member of Bishopswood feels like being part of a huge family – everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. There’s always a sense of friendly competition.” 

"For my part learning to play golf years ago opened another world for me. I learnt a game which fulfilled my competitive spirit. Golf provides all women, whatever level, access to enjoy the game of golf. One mixes with people you may never have met otherwise. Golf is a great leveller. Playing at other clubs and making new friends is a bonus"

"I enjoy playing golf as it gets me outside and walking plus something to focus on for enjoyment and possibly improvement. I particularly enjoy belonging to Bishopswood not only for golf , but the friendship and support there is within the club . Under normal times there is always someone to have a passing chat with or a coffee in our lovely clubhouse"

"Personally, getting out to golf lifts my mood, therefore good for my mental health. It also helps with my fitness. Playing golf you meet and play with other ladies. Bishopswood ladies are a very friendly and sociable group and through golf I now have many good friends."

"I like playing golf because it is an outdoor sport that can be played all year round. It is challenging but fun and the ladies are very sociable and inclusive. Bishopswood is a very friendly club. There are many competitions and fun events scheduled throughout the year which provides the opportunity to meet other members, both men and women. The ladies weekly roll up is very well attended and each week offers different playing partners, another way to meet members. The course is very pretty whatever the season and is well maintained."

When your child joins Bishopswood they will have a welcome meeting with the Junior Organiser. This enables us to understand what aspirations they have and gets them started on the road to achievement.

Friendly junior competitions take place so that players can obtain a handicap. Juniors with a WHS handicap can play in all club medals and Stableford competitions as age is not a restriction.

Bishopswood is a member of the local junior league and play against other clubs from April through to October.

Juniors are offered regular member only coaching sessions with our PGA Golf Professional. The fee is discounted and the Golf Club contributes £3 towards the fees charged; lessons are provided all year round and typically will cost around £3. Juniors are referred for county coaching when their performance reaches a level that our Professional feels justifies this action.

Juniors are kept up to date with news and events via the notice boards and our website; there is a dedicated section for juniors. Parents are kept up to date via emails.

As a member, juniors will be issued with a club membership card which allows them to purchase refreshments at discounted rates from the Clubhouse.

Bishopswood has a dedicated junior organiser to represent this section and a dedicated Welfare Officer. The latter is a requirement of the SafeGolf accreditation.
