Juniors

Developing the stars of the future

At The Bishopbriggs Golf Club we take the development of junior members seriously and hope that this will add to their enjoyment of the game.

We have invested heavily in our Junior programme and facilities, and in conjunction with Scottish Golf, we have created a dedicated course for the juniors. The Academy Course allows young golfers to get familiar with the game, as well as a practice area with covered bays and practice greens for year-round practice.

Boys & Girls Memberships are available, and we are a Scottish Golf 'Children and Young Adults Safe Golf' Accredited Club.

Join our weekly 'Learn to Golf' evening golf lessons with the focus on having fun, learning, developing skills and on-course play. Using activities and games developed by PGA coaches and experts, with a flexible approach to suit the needs of our junior members and the Club’s junior coaching plans.

We provide fun competitions for boys & girls from Primary 5 to 3rd year High School.
