GOLF ACCESS
Golf Access is a new scoring system for Golf, designed to be played from a shortened course to ensure newer Golfers have an enjoyable experience on the course.
There are 9 different levels to work through, progressing to the next level as soon as they obtain the band score or better. You can only move up 1 band at a time and to do this you will need to enter our Academy Events as getting out on the course within a weekly lesson is difficult due to time constraints.
When each level has been achieved, Juniors are presented with a wrist band and certificate in recognition of their progression through the programme.
The Course Rules/Setup
- Maximum of 10 shots per hole.
- 3 shots maximum in a bunker, then pick the ball up and place to the side, not nearer the hole.
Hole Distances
Par 3 - Under 150 Yards
Par 4 - 150-200 Yards
Par 5 - 200-250 Yards
GOLF ACCESS BANDS/LEVELS

For those that have already played in our events, we will put you in at the level you have consistently achieved on the course.
When playing in our events to try and move up to the next band, the Golf Access system also allows us to group competitors by bands in the ROOKIE CATEGORY
