Golf

Welcome to the University Golf Team website. Home to the best golfers in Loughborough University! To find information about the 1st and 2nd team fixtures and results go to the www.bucs.org.uk.

Loughborough University has had a golf team for over 25 years. In 1994, the performance squad began receiving funding from the R&A, which allowed the team to develop and attract high quality golfers to the university.

Loughborough Golf team consists of a squad of competitive players that compete weekly in the North Premier Division, and Midland Conference BUCS Golf Leagues and knockouts. The golf team contains the top golfers currently studying at Loughborough; throughout the season individuals represent the university in the individual BUCS championships each year.  We aim through working together as a squad, through constant competitive practice and training sessions, to develop individual’s performance and maintain the success and enjoyment, that Loughborough is well renowned for.

Trials:  Friday 14^th Oct 11pm at Park Hill – Strokeplay (H’Cap limit: 4)

            Call backs for Sun 16^th Oct 12pm at Park Hill – Matchplay

Loughborough University is well known for its opportunities for students to play sport. This year we are offering a great opportunity for students who are unsuccessful in their efforts in making the Golf Team.

We are pleased to announce a link up with Breedon Priory Golf Centre which offers Loughborough Students reduced membership prices. The course is roughly 20 minutes drive away and is situated between South Derbyshire and North Leicestershire. It offers golfers of all levels the opportunity to play golf at a great course at a great price of £65.
