All new members receive a Welcome Book which is packed with information about the Ladies Section and the club. We currently have over 100 Lady members.

Our main competition day for Ladies is Wednesday, with an alternate day (generally with booked tee times) on a Saturday or occasionally a Sunday. For every 18-hole qualifier we try to ensure a 9-hole qualifier is run, enabling everyone to play competitively for many years.

We have over 30 Trophy Competitions throughout the year alongside many ‘fun’ competitions. There are Summer & Winter Knockout competitions, Ladies & Mixed which are popular. Our Club Championship is a 36-hole, scratch competition over two days, with other nett prizes available. We also have several competitions that are open to ALL club members, such as the Club AGM & Arnold Trophy.

The Ladies Section enters teams in several well-established national & county competitions such as the Stoneham Cup, Hayling Trophy, Legg Bowl and North Hants Trophy. The County Delegate actively encourages the Ladies to enter the many and various County Competitions run by the
Hampshire Ladies Golf (HLG – https://hampshireladiesgolf.com)

The annual Ladies Captain Day is a great fun day of golf followed by a meal and drinks in the Club House afterwards. There are also many events for all, such as the Annual Coffee Morning, & the Christmas Lunch.

Our 2024 - 2025 Ladies' Captain is Ingrid Drew and she would love to hear from you if you are interested in becoming a member. Please submit your enquiry or completed application form to admin@rowlandscastlegc.co.uk.

Mixed Section

The club holds both internal and open events for golfing couples. These are added to by at least a dozen friendly matches. This creates the opportunity to host visitors and to travel and play a number of courses of the same high standard as RCGC and all followed by a lovely meal.

Historically, many clubs apply a principle of life partners not playing together in these matches. At Rowlands Castle, couples play together and any single golfer wishing to play mixed golf will be found a golfing partner for the day by the organisers.

To round off the season, one of the most popular events takes place, an American Greensomes Day, which attracts almost a hundred players. Followed by a carvery, prizes and medals!
