Several ladies take part in the Club’s mixed competitions which are run over both summer and winter.  There are various opportunities throughout the year to play with other sections of the Club.

Ladies also meet informally on a Tuesday morning for a ‘balls-up’.  A group of ladies, the Birdies, meet at the weekend for a balls-up on both Saturday and Sunday morning.  All are welcome to join in any of the days that a group of ladies are meeting.

We compete in County competitions with a Silver (scratch 10+), Bronze (scratch 19+) and Harris Bowl team.  For those not in the teams we play ‘friendlies’ with local clubs over the season when any player with a handicap have an opportunity to play.
