\n Edward Blacker, co-founder of Whalebone Golf Club, said: “Golf has always had an incredible spirit \u2013 the calm, the craft, the challenge \u2013 but for too long it hasn\u2019t felt open to everyone.\n<\/p>\n

\n “Whalebone Golf Club is about keeping everything that\u2019s great about the game, while removing the barriers that stop people getting involved.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Whether you\u2019re picking up a club for the first time or you\u2019ve played for years, this is a place where you can come as you are and feel like you belong.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The relaunch supports the wider drive to open up the sport, aligning with The R&A\u2019s vision of golf as \u201ca sport that everyone can enjoy regardless of age, ability or background\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n The club\u2019s facilities include an 18-hole course, a 25-bay driving range, and beginner-friendly formats.\n<\/p>\n
\n Visitors can also enjoy Moby Golf (mini-golf), as well as Foot Golf for those who prefer a twist on the traditional game.\n<\/p>\n
