CLUB INFORMATION
Within the structure of Gower Golf Course there exists a thriving members club.
This creates the identity of Gower Golf Club and gives it an unique character and style based on mutual respect and inclusivity.
There are several levels of competitive golf at Gower, with the flagship being the First
and Second team playing in the Glamorgan County Leagues. Players in these teams
are all low single figure handicappers all playing at the highest standard. First team captain is Mr Aaron O’Donnell, a 2 handicapper who came through the junior ranks
at Gower.
Likewise the Ladies first team play in the county divisions and are led by Mrs Jacqui Jones, a fairly recent convert to golf but already no stranger to competition success!
This year there will be 2 new teams participating in competitive golf with the ladies introducing a second team and a Mens “Links” team between second team and Quartz.
