A word from Luke

“My aim is to make every golfer that walks through the door a golfer that is better equipped in every aspect by the time that they leave the same door. Also, we aim to reduce everyone’s handicap by three or scores by at least five shots.

My client base has increased dramatically over the years and this year will see some interesting changes for all. Seeing everyone benefitting from an advanced studio that has state-pfthe-art technology to enhance their existing or new equipment makes my job worthwhile and it gives me a satisfying feeling to see every client grow and improve as a golfer.

Our Youth Academy encourages ‘golf is fun’, we make sure, first and foremost, golf is an enjoyable game to both learn and play. The game is offered to all levels and age groups. We now have a measured youth course (1,025 yards) played over nine holes.

We run regular competitions for all levels and age groups. So, everyone can become a winner. For more information contact our club office or pop into the Professionals Shop.

We aim to make sure all our youngsters are involved and become a close unit making new, long-term friendships as well.

Whetheryou are a well-established society or simply a group of golfers looking to play an interesting course, Canons Brook is the ideal place to play.

When Henry Cotton designed Canons brook he successfully created a unique course that is fair and comfortable for golfers of all abilities. This makes it the perfect place for society golf days. Designed with his experience of american courses in mind, it uses minimum rough and large greens, relying on the layout of the land to provide the challenge while improving speed of play.

The clubhouse provides a comfortable, convivial atmosphere and offers a range of food options to meet the specific needs of the society.

Canons Brook provides a relaxed golfing experience while expecting golfers to wear recognised golf attire on the course and adhere to the clubhouse dress code of smart casual or clean, dry golfwear.

For safety reasons, players are requested to play in recognised golf shoes .
