Personalised Programs

Personalised programs  
Play Beyond 80!
As we get a bit older we tend to lose fitness. We don't hit the ball as crisply or as far as we used to. Our 'Play Beyond 80!' program will help you retain your playing ability way past you sixties, or help you get it back, if you feel that you have already lost some of your ability. Just because your age is blowing out, it doesn't necessarily mean that your handicap has to!

Golf Strategy

Golf strategy As much as golf is a game of skill with the clubs and ball, the way you prepare for an important game and think your way through the round has as much influence on the final result as has your skill with the clubs.
The tuition and coaching provided by Top End Golf! professionals will also cover the mental aspect of the game. We will teach you to consider your options and choose the right one for any situation you might encounter on the course.
Our Personalised Programs include sessions on course management and mental approach.
Think About it!

Junior Development

Junior golf Our Junor Golf Program is run in conjunction with Darwin Golf Club.
The weekly coaching session is held from 8.30 to 9.30am each Saturday and is followed by a nine hole competition.
In addition to teaching the juniors how to play golf, the program puts strong emphasis on having fun and developing skills like sportsmanship, fairness, etiquette and leadership.
The junior players are graded into three levels categorized by ability, etiquette, good character and leadership. A monthly skills test provides all juniors with a goal to reach in order to become a full playing junior member with an official handicap. Upon reaching this level (red) juniors will also receive a red golf bag.
The juniors will play for a Monthly Medal with an engraved mounted trophy up for grabs for the winners.
To accompany the monthly medals there are half yearly and annual competitions conducted with some great trophies and prizes for all competitors.
New players are encouraged to attend the beginners coaching session, which is held at 3-4pm on Saturday afternoons at the cost of $5.00
Becoming a junior member of the Darwin Golf Club club is priced very cheaply at $55.00 per year. Juniors will receive a coloured tour card, golf shirt, cap and balls and tees.
