Away Days
Typically in March, we organise away days, with past trips to Cumberwell Park Golf Club in 2023, the Player's Club Bristol in 2024, and Thornbury Golf Club in 2025. Stay updated on our Instagram (@uobathgolf) for more details.
Down the Plug Hole
A mixed university day at Bath Golf Club, featuring an 18-hole Texas scramble, followed by a buffet and DJ in the clubhouse. In 2023, 78 players from 8 different universities participated. It’s an event not to be missed!!
Golf Fun Days
For those looking for more social, non-competitive golf, we organise fun days throughout the year. For example, in Semester 1, we had a trip to Thornbury Golf Club to use their Trackman range.
