At Gogarburn we pride ourselves in the fact that we actively encourage
junior golf at all levels. We currently have five Level 1 Coaches and we
offer juniors the opportunity to attend coaching sessions between April
and August at a very reasonable cost.
With assistance from our many
helpers we deliver coaching
throughout the summer, not only
to our junior members but in
association with Clubgolf we
play host to children from
neighbouring primary schools
In addition to the formal competitions detailed in our syllabus there are
several other ways to enjoy your membership at Gogarburn. A group of
ladies meet every Monday lunchtime and play ‘just for fun’. There is an
‘over 65s’ group of men who play an informal 12 hole competition on the

every Tuesday and every Thursday throughout the year. They meet at
