Golf Club
Welcome to Cardiff University Golf Club
Cardiff University Athletic Union's Most Improved Club 2019
The Golf Society at Cardiff University aims to promote golf to all students regardless of golfing ability. We are deemed by our members to be a friendly, welcoming sports club that is open to all, whether you’re a seasoned golfer or an absolute beginner. Over the last couple of years, the Golf Society has grown in members and achieved Gold Tier status thanks to an enthusiastic elected student committee.
BUCS golf
The golf society has a first and second team that plays in BUCS league matches on Wednesdays. These matches take place both at home and away at courses in Wales and England. We also participate in the annual Varsity event against Swansea.
We have a big variation in ability in matches, players are picked based off form in range sessions and social golf. If you work hard at your golf, you will get the chance to represent the club.
Range sessions
We run weekly range trips with professional coaching on hand, costing only £4. These sessions are relaxed and are open to all members who wish to either improve their golf or just hit some balls.
Social Golf
We regularly play golf socially at our home course Radyr. Memberships will be given out at the start of the year based off participation in all events and a desire to want to play more golf! We offer a reduced cost playing membership, enabling purchasers to play the course freely on all days apart from some Saturdays.
Events
We run a knockout match-play competition that runs throughout the year with prizes available and a big social event for the final. There is the annual varsity event against Swansea which is always a great day, as well as a golf tour available to all members in the easter break.
We offer exclusive Cardiff University Golf branded kit available to purchase from November.
Socials
CUGC pride themselves on being the greatest society at the University. Wednesday night socials are the highlight of the week. The last few years have proven why the golf society have the most fun compared to any other society at the University.
We have a variation of socials throughout the year with different themes and challenges as well as lots of non-alcoholic socials. We aim this year to make the socials even bigger and better!
The only thing we can guarantee is that you’ll absolutely love it!
The Club Talks
Cardiff Uni Golf Club was the first Uni golf club to partner with The Club Talks campaign, seeking to increase mental health awareness. We are fully behind the project and support them through any means!
Cardiff Uni Golf wants to construct an environment that allows people to talk about their feelings in an open manner. Many other Uni golf clubs have joined this great campaign with aims to expand further.
