Get into Golf

The Get into Golf Programme is a fun, welcoming way for women and men of all levels to try golf, get active, and make new friends—with no experience needed and everything provided.

Get into Golf Women’s Programme

The Get into Golf Women’s Programme is a fun and social way to enjoy exercise, fresh air, and learn golf. Starting each April, it begins with a 6-week taster including coaching from Club Professional Kevin Greally and short game sessions with Women’s Club members.

Afterwards, participants can join until 31st October and continue playing with guidance from the club. In Year 1, players receive a Golf Ireland number and access to the BRS booking system. Year 2 introduces handicaps and competitions, while Year 3, called Stay in Golf, helps build confidence through more regular play.

This programme has brought great energy to Athlone Golf Club, introducing new friendships and growing our active membership. Starting with others at the same level helps build confidence and a strong sense of community.

Great initiative for women run by women "The Get into Golf programme is a great initiative for women run by women. It is a great opportunity to discover if golf is something you would like to pursue. On a personal note I love the inclusivity and the camaraderie of the GIG programme and the way we were all made to feel so welcome when we joined. I am now a full member and it the best thing I have done in long time. My family would say I am completely obsessed. I would just say I love golf."

A wonderful experience "Taking part in the "Get into Golf " programme in Athlone Golf Club was a wonderful experience . I couldn't recommend it highly enough to any beginner golfer or to anyone looking to get back into the game. The time given up by all club members involved was amazing and it is a great way to get acquainted with the club and how it operates. I now play regularly with many of those that did the programme with me back in 2024."

One of the best decisions I have ever made "Joining the Get into Golf programme is one of the best decisions I have ever made . My wife had joined the Women's Get into Golf and my son the Junior Golf Programme so I thought that was something that we could play together as a family. I now play regularly with friends I met on the program. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in taking up the sport. Give it a try, you won't regret it."
