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
The Leicestershire golf club is evolving rapidly. Responding to change and adapting is an integral part of survival. The leads in the Office, Proshop and on the Greens have all being appointed to post within the 2 years. A further exciting development is our catering partnership. Bar Santé is the new club bar and food area specifically for golfers and their guests. The uplift in quality is a pleasure with items for everyone on the menu.
As we transition into spring, the winter maintenance on the course has yielded positive results. The new pathways and drainage systems have allowed us to remain operational more frequently compared to other courses. Additionally, the greens and fairways are in excellent condition. All is ready to showcase our club and course in the many interclub fixtures that we have.
We are advancing beyond just 18 holes. At The Leicestershire Golf Club, our senior section aligns with and supports the values and goals of our member management structure.
We aim to have more fun both on and off the course. Besides interclub matches and senior competitions and knockouts, this year includes two exchange days. There are three “more than 9-holes” invitational mornings with golf relevant presentations. Members can bring a guest at a reduced rate. We also have dedicated tee times for onboarding new members, assisting with acquiring Handicaps and helping players return to golf after injury or illness.
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.
