Welcome

We welcome juniors of all ages and standards, providing a fun, safe and positive experience when playing golf.

We consider the welfare of children to be paramount and we have met the official quality standard from the national governing bodies of Golf England.

The club has an active mixed junior section consisting of the fox cubs (those players with handicaps above 28/36 and /or new to golf) and CONGU players.

Golf

We support golf’s unique diversity where players of all ages and skills can play golf together, with the interaction between juniors and adults bringing mutual respect.

Juniors at the club are expected to embrace this respect, conduct themselves to the highest standards, and to always remember that other players may not be as physically able as they are.

Club Nights

Junior club nights are held on Mondays. Please view the diary on the website for details of the dates and visit the Taunton & Pickeridge Junior section Facebook page for news items and results.

There are stableford competitions for Boys + Girls over 9 and 18 Holes and medal competitions over 18 holes with many trophies and cups to play for during the season.

These nights also give the Cubs a chance to move from the coaching area to the main course, under the supervision of willing volunteers and dedicated PGA professional coach,Ali Williams.

To join the club, please contact the pro shop for full details.
