Under-16s are to be offered free membership at SRUC Elmwood Golf Club in Scotland as part of new plans to widen access to the sport.
Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) has announced that new adult and family season tickets at the Fife-based club will allow children of adult members to benefit from the suite of new deals, which will also see people joining the club receiving 16 months’ membership for the price of 12.
The promotions are part of the club’s new strategy to grow the number of traditionally underrepresented demographics within its membership, as well as in the sport in general.
Course Manager Greg Kilgour said: “As part of our ‘golf for all’ ethos at Elmwood, we’re delighted to be able to offer under-16s free junior membership. We are also planning greater engagement with local primary and secondary schools to grow our junior membership, while we are looking at creating a special season ticket rate for former and current members of the Armed Forces, as well as emergency services and NHS workers.”
The SRUC Elmwood Golf Course clubhouse will reopen its doors on January 8. Those who join up between now and March 31, 2025 will retain their membership until March 31, 2026 for the price of just one-year’s membership.
