Discover the joy of pitch and putt at Eaton Park 

Are you a Norwich resident looking for a fun and affordable way to stay active and enjoy the great outdoors? Look no further than the Eaton Park Pitch and Putt Club, a welcoming community of golf enthusiasts using the beautiful council-run course in Eaton Park. With our Go4Less scheme, you can save up to 50% on some council facilities and activities, making it easier than ever to get involved.

Recently, the Eaton Park Pitch and Putt Club celebrated the achievements of its members with the awarding of trophies for the winners of our 2023 competitions.
 
The club, which has been a staple of the community for many years, offers a variety of monthly competitions that cater for all skill levels. Whether you’re playing for fun or vying for a trophy, our handicap system ensures everyone has a fair chance to win.

Alan Hough, the club secretary, told us: “During the pandemic, we all came to appreciate the importance of fresh air and exercise. Pitch and Putt, a quicker and more accessible form of golf, is the perfect way to enjoy these benefits. It’s suitable for all ages and abilities, making it an excellent activity for families, friends, and individuals alike.
 
“Every Monday morning at 9:30am, club members gather for a friendly round of golf. It’s a fantastic way to start the week, meet new people, and improve your game.”

Membership is just £15 per year. This fee not only gives you access to the vibrant community and monthly competitions but also entitles members to over 50% savings on rounds – and even greater savings if you have a Norwich Go4less card.

Why not give it a try? Simply turn up any Monday morning, or for more details, email Alan at EatonGolfip@gmail.com

Winners from the 2023 competitions. Ashley Judd, Margaret Gibson, Rick Thorne, Roshan Chetry, Peter Hardinge.
