We have a thriving Junior Section at Sand Moor Golf club supported by our dedicated Junior Organiser Natalie Balderson and PGA Professional Glen Ient
We offer a warm and friendly welcome to all Junior golfers, from those starting on their golfing journey, to supporting those ready to move onto playing golf as an adult. Sand Moor Golf Club is committed to providing a safe golfing environment for all young people whilst using our facilities.
Our Junior Section firmly believes that the life skills developed by participating in golf and being part of a Junior golf membership can help young golfers develop important life skills such as discipline, patience, perseverance, and sportsmanship. These skills can benefit them not only on the golf course, but in various aspects of their lives.
