Junior Section

Getting Into Golf

Buckingham Golf Club offers tuition for all levels of ability; several options are available, including individual and group lessons or a special academy membership. Lessons can be taken on the range or in our state-of-the-art Swing Studio. Our professional runs the following regular sessions:

* Group lessons twice weekly for anyone to join in
* Seniors group lesson on a Tuesday morning from 9-10 am
* Junior lessons can be booked by contacting the Pro Shop on 01280 815566, option 2.

The Academy Membership is specifically designed to help golfers improve at their own pace with tuition on the range and use of the course for 4 holes. This membership is aimed at beginners or anyone resuming golf who wants to progress to being able to play on the course and becoming a member of Buckingham Golf Club.

The tuition will cover all aspects of the game, including driving, irons, and the short game, including pitching, chipping, bunker play, and putting. It will also involve playing the course and course management.

A new 9-hole academy membership category has been introduced to facilitate a smoother transition for participants from academy-level to full membership. This initiative addresses the needs of those in the early stages of their golf journey and provides a clear pathway
for their progression within the club. The introduction of the academy 9-hole category demonstrates a commitment to supporting the growth and development of its members at every stage of their journey.

At Buckingham Golf Club, we take pride in our ever- growing junior section, which our junior golf organiser runs with our club professionals and several volunteers. We offer the chance to have fun, learn and play golf in a safe and enjoyable environment.

Our juniors can use our clubhouse, practice facilities, simulator, and main golf course (subject to ability and handicap). Junior members
are also able to play at our reciprocal courses and play in junior and senior competitions, and inter-club matches.

Juniors can also apply for a Members Bar Card, which can be used to purchase soft drinks, food from the bar and goods from the Pro Shop, enabling cashless payments.

We welcome all standards of player and are passionate in developing them as we believe them to be the future of our club. Juniors also have access to excellent coaching support through our professional team, lessons can be booked by contacting the Pro Shop on 01280 815566, option 2.

As a club, we operate an outreach golf program with the support of the Golf Foundation and local primary and secondary schools. The program offers free taster sessions to introduce children to golf at Buckingham Golf Club.

Buckingham Golf Club has become a recognised host venue for the BB &O Talent Development Program for Juniors, further supporting Junior golf at the club and in the local area. For membership enquiries, contact our pro shop on 01280 815566, option 2.

JUNIOR PATHWAY

Buckingham Golf Club have this year introduced a new Pathway to encourage new Junior golfers to Golf. This will be a free of charge membership.

Children will be registered and attend sessions with our Professional (Greg’s) and receive coaching on how to play. There will be a small charge for each session which will include a free bucket balls & clubs to use.

As Juniors improve (after being assessed by Greg) and they can complete certain challenges, they progress through Birdie, Eagle and Albatross categories.

For more details please contact the Office or the Pro who will be delighted to provide more details.

The intention is for the children to first and foremost have fun and at the same time progress their abilities to enable them to be part of group of friends enjoying themselves.
