Juniors Section
Pennard actively encourages juniors of all ages to join the club and enjoy the wonderful game of golf.
There is a thriving section and we have great facilities for youngsters to learn. We have a driving range, putting and chipping area and a practice hole, with bunkers where juniors can develop and improve their game. There is a strong coaching set up with both group and individual lessons to chose from on various days, to suit individual needs. All coaches are DBS checked and have specialist qualifications for teaching youngsters. We have strong links to local schools and hold festival days with free coaching for school children.
If you would like to get your child/children playing golf please contact us on 01792 233451
Sean Pearson, our Head Golf Professional, runs our Junior Academy all year round, these group lessons take New to Golf Juniors aged 5-9 years in our Bronze Academy. Juniors may then continue to develop their technique in our Silver Academy. Further progression is then available via our Gold Academy, which is focused on getting juniors to a position where they are comfortable and safe on the course, getting their first handicap and full junior membership.
All Gold Academy Juniors are required to become Junior Members as they will be taking part in sessions on the course and at a level where they can play on the course.

Once a junior has a handicap then we encourage them to play in our regular Junior Club Competitions. They can also play for our Mixed Junior Teams competing in the Glamorgan Junior League against juniors in other golf clubs. All our junior competitions are mixed girls and boys which introduces them to more competitive golf and lifelong friendships.
We are very proud of our juniors who have a long history in being some of the highest performing junior golfers in our region. Most our junior team members play in the County Boy and Girl Teams, and some also play for Wales.
A combination of all the essentials: great practice facilities; year- round golf; junior competitions; strong junior teams; enthusiastic junior helpers and full support from the club means Pennard Golf Club is a great choice from New to Golf, through to serious young golfers, keen to develop their competitive skills and compete at the highest levels.
