For younger golfers aged 7–11
Development focuses on building skills, confidence and enjoyment, with coaching and golf suited to younger players. No handicap or previous competitive experience is required.
For golfers without an official handicap
Development and Ultimate both offer options without a handicap requirement. Alongside your golfer’s age, consider their experience on the course and confidence playing golf.

If your golfer could suit more than one experience
Age is a starting point. Playing experience, confidence and what they would like to gain from camp also matter. Contact Rick with their age, handicap if they have one, whether they usually play 9 or 18 holes, and their golfing interests. We’ll help you choose.
