This is an exciting, fun way to introduce 9-14 year olds into our great game, or hone existing skill sets.

DEVELOPMENT CENTRES

So far our coaches Jack Cole and Craig Lockwood have held two development centres for our Junior golfers aged 8-13 at Potters Resort Five Lakes (Left) and Little Channels (Right). Both were successful with positive feedback and some very exciting talent coming up and through our ranks!
