Ladies Get into Golf Programme
Craddockstown has participated in this wonderful initiative since 2015 and it is a great way for complete beginners to learn the basics of golf, all while having fun and socialising.
HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?
• Firstly, you can register your interest by phone, email or our Contact Form.
• The program itself begins with an introductory taster session in early April (free of charge), which includes a one-hour session with our golf pro, Glen, and refreshments afterwards in our lovely Clubhouse.
• You then have the option of signing up for an 8-week course at a cost of just €75 (one session per week).
• Golf clubs are provided for the program so no need to buy anything at this stage.
• Weeks 1-4 include tuition with Glen where you’ll work on your basic golf skills.
• Weeks 5-8 you will be brought out on the course by some of our Lady Members.
• Mentoring is ongoing throughout this time and 9 hole competitions are organised for the group in order to familiarise you with the course.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
• Once you’ve finished the course, you’ll have the option to join the club for the remainder of the golfing year for just €250.
• This €250 is then applied as a credit against the following year’s membership fee should you decide to continue.
• If you do decide to join the Ladies Club at this stage, we will arrange to take you out on the course to complete three 18 hole or six 9 hole cards which are required to get an official handicap with the ILGU.
• Your official ILGU handicap allows you to play in any designated Opens for Ladies around the country.
• You will also be set up on our club system, which will allow you view the timesheet online and book available tee times.
