Ladies Golf At Kingennie Golf Course

On January 9, 1811, the first known women’s golf tournament took place at Musselburgh Golf Club, in Scotland.
Historically the man in the family is the one who would go golfing with his buddies and spend the afternoon out with them. This was when golf is played mainly by men and golf clubs only catered for men.

The golfing scene today is totally different. Over the years, more women have become interested in golf and they started playing too. Some women play golf so that they do not have to be a “golf widow” when the husbands play golf.

Golfers now come in all shapes and sizes, from both sexes, and mostly they are a sociable bunch. Men are quite happy to play just about anywhere, in any conditions, and the more hazardous the course the better they like it, even if the course is way out of their league.

Not so women golfers. If they are high handicappers they usually like a course to be challenging, but within their capabilities. They like a friendly atmosphere in the clubhouse, a pro that doesn’t make her feel stupid when she doesn’t get the hang of the setting-up procedure first time. And she likes half decent toilet facilities at the end of a round.

The style of the Kingennie Golf Course makes it a great leveler between the sexes – and it is a truly wonderful ladies golf course. Our ‘club house’ facilities at Kingennie Country House are particularly lady friendly too – and just the ticket for those ‘ladies who lunch’.

At Kingennie we extend a very warm welcome to lady golfers far and wide, and especially to visiting ladies golf clubs and societies form Scotland and the rest of the UK. Our luxury guest accommodation at our woodland holiday lodges is very lady friendly too – making them ideal for those ladies club residential golf outings and breaks – and for large groups our new Kingennie Court with its two units of 5 delightful ensuite bedrooms overlooking the course – or one complete unit of 10 -  might just hit the spot.
