Welcome to the Leicestershire Golf Club. I have been a member of the club for over 30 years and feel very privileged to be the Lady Captain for 2025.
We are a friendly and inclusive section and whether you are an experienced golfer or a complete beginner you will find a warm welcome.
For Ladies who are new to golf we hold coaching sessions alongside our club Professional and will support any Lady, wishing to take up this wonderful sport, on their journey.
As a section we run a variety of competitions specifically for Ladies on Tuesdays. Ladies are also encouraged to enter the club competitions on Saturdays, and we have friendly mixed roll ups on Monday mornings throughout the year giving Ladies opportunity to enjoy a social round. From November onwards we hold a winter league on Tuesdays alongside a 9-hole competition and Ladies are again welcome to participate in the Clubs winter league held on a Saturday. During the winter months a fun Wednesday competition is run by one of our male members and many Ladies participate in this too, as again it is an opportunity to make new friends and improve their golf.
As a section we play around 12 friendly matches with other clubs which is a wonderful opportunity to play different courses. We compete in both the Leicestershire Scratch and Handicap Leagues and in the Ladies County and Mixed County foursome competitions.
Our junior section has several girl golfers, and they are welcomed into our competitions during school holidays, our current Ladies Club Champion is one of our talented juniors!
I wish all members, guests and visitors an enjoyable time at The Leicestershire Golf Club both on and off the course.
Kind regards,
Lucy Patterson,
Lady Captain
Welcome to our world. Embracing change and adapting to it is key to growth, and that's something we do very well at our club. Times are changing, and so are we. Over the past year, we've welcomed new leadership across the Office, Proshop, and Greens, all of whom bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm. The other exciting development is our catering partnership which we have just embraced, and the early offerings have been a refreshing quantum step up in quality and freshness.
I first tried to join ‘The Leicestershire’ in 1995, shortly after moving to Leicester with my family. At that time, I was told I couldn't join because I was wearing ‘patch pocket jeans,’ didn’t have a Handicap, and lacked sponsors. While this experience initially reinforced my belief that the club was a bit traditional, my perspective has greatly evolved over the years. I finally became a member around 15 years ago, and though I wasn't very active at first, direct observation has since shown me the true charm of the club. I now appreciate the wonderful mix of people and experiences that make life at the club so vibrant and unique.
My, how things have changed. The last four years, with the joy of retirement, more Hygge, and the freedom to play when I want means I’ve engaged with what a member’s club really means. It is more than just 18 holes.
At your club, The Leicestershire, our senior’s section is cohesive and supports the corporate values and goals of our powerful members management structure. As a group we want to have more fun on the course and off the course. Yes, we deliver all the core functions of a Seniors section, Interclub matches, senior’s competitions and more than just 18 holes. We are agile and will respond to concerns. I am not really the seniors Captain; I am just a middleman in a very functional seniors section committee that helps make things happen.
