About Our Club

The club’s main focus is on team play, competing in the Scottish Student Sport (SSS) competitions. We aim to provide a number of club social events and club outings for non-team players.

We are currently developing a strong partnership with a local golf club, Kingsknowe. With this partnership we will be organising a few group events on the course throughout the year for the more experienced players and coaching opportunities for those with less experience. One of golf’s main aims for the year is to create a culture within the sport at Heriot-Watt that people of all abilities feel comfortable to join, as well as offering both competitive and recreational opportunities to our members.

Our club charter

We aim to provide the following service to all our members:

  1. To provide an opportunity for any team member to practice with the assistance of a coach at each session.
  2. To provide a range of competitive opportunities to allow members to compete individually or for the University.
  3. To provide an opportunity for members to gain a worthwhile social experience through the sport.

What does a typical season involve?

Team training

We have two teams who compete against other Scottish Universities in league and cup matches, as well as in several SSS stroke play events that are held throughout the year at some very high quality golf courses, culminating in the yearly individual and team Championships at Lossiemouth GC which is held at the end of March.

The 1s compete in Scottish Tier 2 & Scottish Conference Cup

The 2s compete in Scottish Tier 4 (Starting 24/25 season).

Our more experienced players at the Club are willing to offer advice and coaching and are always happy to help!
