Our Juniors and Cadets are back in action for the year. There is a full programme of events planned for the season ahead starting with 9 and 18 hole competitions over the Easter break. Our new Trackman facility is proving to be a big hit with our young members……
 

The recent fundraiser for the conflict in Ukraine was very successful and raised a total of €3060 for the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal. Many thanks to our Professionals who gave golf lessons in the trackman studio, and the organisers of the Coffee morning and cake sale. Thank you also to the many of our members and friends who contributed so generously by supporting the events. Judging by the mouth-watering display of cakes, breads, preserves and goodies the art of home baking is still very much alive.....

                                                            Give Golf A Go Voucher

We have introduced a 'Give Golf a Go' Voucher.
This Voucher is aimed at beginners and those who want to take up golf. We have noticed that it can be difficult and expensive for beginners to take up the game of golf. This can be off-putting especially for beginners who may be unsure if they are going to like the game. We have created the 'Give Golf a Go' Voucher for Men and Ladies.
 
This is seen as an introduction to golf at Courtown Golf Club. You get a lesson with the club Pro, a session on the Trackman studio and 3 Group practice sessions. We see this as an opportunity to meet others who are taking up the game in group practice sessions and as a way of getting to know potential playing partners. You also get 3 green fees to experience the course and learn the game.
 
This is excellent value at €150 and could make for a great gift. If you subsequently decide to join Courtown Golf Club, €150 paid will be discounted from your membership subscription.
 
Full details of these offers are available on the www.CourtownGolfClub.com website and Facebook,

                                              New Membership offers for 2022
We would like to introduce you to some of the new membership offers that we have for 2022.
Over the winter we analysed the age profile of our membership and we found that less than 20% of our membership was aged under 50. Based on this we have decided to expand our previous under 35 membership offer for new members to under 45 for Ladies and under 40 for Men. We have done this based on the numbers in each category, and to encourage young people into the club. This will hopefully ensure that we have a vibrant club well into the future.
 
If you know of anybody who may be interested in these offers please share this with them.
These offers are available to new members only.
For more information you can phone the club on 053-9425166 or visit the website www.courtowngolfclub.com
