Junior Golf Academy

We run a Junior Golf Academy at Denver Golf Club. Our Academy courses have always proved extremely popular, so advance booking is essential.  Please click here for information on our Junior Academy fees.

Denver Golf Club Junior Golf Summer Programme

This programme is an excellent way for Juniors to learn all aspects of golf in a challenging and enjoyable way.  During the summer months, we hold a series of Junior One-Day Golf Camps, which are fun and informative days for Juniors of all abilities.

For a more structured approach and to get the perfect start in golf Denver Golf Club is also offering the Cadets' course from the Young Masters' Junior Golf programme. YMG is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide designed to progress kids from beginner to advanced level.

Corporate Days

We are happy to work with you to arrange corporate entertainment days, to accommodate team-building events, or to host charity events at Denver Golf Club. Prices will be negotiated individually for each event.

Junior Birthday Parties

At Denver Golf Club we'll arrange a Junior birthday party with you.  Of course, there will plenty of golfing fun, skill and tuition for the juniors.  There are three set options for you to choose from and a fourth option where we will work together with you to arrange just what you want.

Please contact us to discuss arrangements for tuition, our Junior Golf Academy, or any events either by telephone on Downham Market (01366) 385716 (international telephone +44 1366 385 716) or use our on-line e-mail service.

Our summer extension to the club house! © Denver Golf Club 2007

Our catering side is continuing to develop very well and we now have lots of regulars for snacks and meals. In the summer months we will have more room to accommodate you - thanks to our extension! - and a wider range of delights with which to tempt you! We serve breakfasts from 8.30 am to 11.00 am; lunches from 12 noon to 2.00 pm; and dinners from 6.00 pm to 7.00 pm. A range of tea, coffee and soft drinks is always available. Don't forget our home-cooked Sunday Roasts - you do not need to book in advance, but it is helpful for us if you can. We have a licence to sell alcohol for consumption on the premises, so you can enjoy a drink with your meal. Remember - you don't need to play golf to eat or drink here.

Future Plans

Those who have visited us recently will have seen that new facilities have been put in place - and we have noted the approval you have shown us.  There is still much to do and organise, but things are happening here at Denver! Watch this space! Jason is dedicated to making this Club a really friendly and social place for you to spend your leisure time - whether you play golf or not. If you've got any ideas about what you would like to see here, just have a word with Jason. He is usually here and he is always willing to listen to any ideas. Some people have been enquiring what is going to happen - and some are wondering how we're going to get it all done. Six new holes were started during 2007 and should be ready for play in Spring 2008. We are looking out for garden plants that you could donate to the Club, particularly those that will add colour. If you are having a clearout in the garden, please let us have any plants you don't want. We can collect them locally, and we will make good use of them to turn the course into an even more beautiful place. You may be making room in your garden by removing pots or trellis - again, we may be able to use those, so please let us know. So far, we have planted over ten thousand bulbs at Denver, so the course and all the facilities look wonderful in the Spring.

Newsletter – September 2007

Our flowers have been good this year, not quite as we had hoped, due to either excess rain or a lack of rain and high winds. Hopefully, next year will be better when they become more established. We have had comments, however, that the course in general is looking very good. We hope you feel that same: there will be changes to the old course in line with the new course being constructed. We intend to change the second tee and the fairway while retaining the same green. This will eliminate the potential hazard of people on the second tee being within range of those teeing off on the first.

It will also open up the conservation area which we are hoping to have as a point of interest and show just why the conservation area is there. We have had the team from the Norfolk Wildlife Trust here for their consent to retain some and increase some of the area in line with their regulations. We should have an interesting area within a few years as the grasses grow to their former glory, obviously encouraging the wildlife in the process. If you have an interest in this, your assistance would be appreciated.

Charity Fund-Raising

Presentation of £750.00 cheque for Macmillan Cancer Support Day 2007 © Denver Golf Club 2007

We had two very good charity days. Some of you will have been there and we thank you so very much for your input to us achieving the totals we did. The total raised for Macmillan Cancer Support was £ 750.00 plus £ 43.00 in the charity box. The Winifred Touhy Memorial Breast Cancer Day raised £ 870.00. We hope to make these an annual event but will space them out during next year as they were rather close to each other this year. If any of you have any useful comments on how we could achieve additional advertising or fund raising please let us know. Both charities do so much good work we really do want to support them as much as we can. Thank you to everybody who has supported them.

Junior Golf

The Junior Section is becoming more popular and well attended. The courses organised by Karl ran through the summer holidays proved very successful. The children improved daily when they came on one of the four-day courses and the disciplines of golf were well received, thanks to Karl. Through the Academy run by Jason and the Young Masters Golf run by Karl we are encouraging better play and correct course etiquette for the benefit of all players. One of our young members is shaping up to be a really wonderful player – we hope he develops a lifelong enjoyment of golf and – who knows? – possibly a career.

During the Junior Open, one of our members, Ivor Livesey, acted as a marshal, together with parents of the children who entered and the day went off with no problem. The winner was Owen Mills. If there is anyone else who would be willing to marshal at these events please let Jason or Karl know. Thank you.

Senior Section

We now have a Committee for the benefit of all of the Seniors that play at the Club. Initially, it will help run the over 55's morning on Tuesday. It will organise senior competitions, make the week’s play more enjoyable, and encourage away matches between other local – or not so local – clubs.

Once we have our additional holes in play, our Club we be able to offer a wonderful venue for return matches. With the addition of the club house extension, which will also be in place next year – thanks to the local council – we look forward to you enjoying these organised days out.

In fact, trips abroad are also in the pipeline: these can be discussed with the members of the Committee. Their names and information are now on the Seniors’ Notice Board. All Seniors who play at the Club are included in these functions and are welcome to join in all the activities.
