Tees

Craig Hawkes Head Professional

Hi, I’m Craig Hawkes, Redbourn’s recently appointment Head Professional.

I’ve been a golf professional for 27 years and my most recent post was Manager/ Head Professional at Stanmore and Edgware Golf Centre. During Covid, I designed and built a glow in the dark mini golf course. I’ve now left this business in my wife’s capable hands as my love of “real” golf has led me to Redbourn.

I’m excited to get started and looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible. If you see me around, please come up and say hello.

Firstly, we have stripped the 9th ladies tee and levelled It. We aim to have it back in play as soon as the new grass has Established. We have also ninja tinned the greens with a light top dressing which helps with thatch removal, aeration and drainage to allow for a better playing surface.

We are in the process of moving a few tees over to face the fairways, these are the 10th ladies, 14th ladies and 17th men’s tee. We are also changing the layout on the longer tees: 3rd, 5th, 11th, and 12th. So there will be three individual tees on the hole.
