Overview
Leeds Beckett's Golf Club is made up of two highly competitive squads and a large social golf following.
Next season both squads will battle it out in the British Universities and Colleges Sports (BUCS) Northern 1A division against other high quality university golf clubs from across England and Scotland.
Our club plays at Horsforth Golf Club - who have strongly supported our club for several years and will continue to do so for the 2018/19 season.
We are one of the few mixed gender teams at the University and aim to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible.
Our members regularly get together off the golf course for socials and events - with a variety of venues and themes that always prove to be highlights of the year.
Squads get to travel to a variety of other top courses for fixtures and we get fantastic value from our Athletic Union memberships.
Included in this, you will get regular access to PGA Professional Coaches at Horsforth Golf Club, as well as your green fees covered for the year.
We get to work with the coaches for an hour and a half every Sunday until Easter, and one-to-one sessions can be arranged at no extra cost.
Our club also gets together at least at least once a week for a friendly game and to get some practice in, giving opportunities to stake a claim for team selection the following week and keeping the guys and girls who haven’t made the squads the chance to stay involved.
To be part of our golf club you can sign-up for club trials at our Fresher's Fair on 19 September where our club committee and members will be able to answer your questions, give you insight into the club or just get to know who we are.
We will be holding our trials on Wednesday 26 September, a week after the fair, and we will be offering further trials the week after that if required.
Feel free to contact us on our social media accounts if you have any more questions - which you can find in the 'how can I contact the club' tab.
