There is no age limit when joining our Academy or the PGA SA as an associate.
Do I have to be a Member of Randpark Club?
All our coaching, course play and lectures happen on property.
You don't have to be a member of the Club but you would then pay green fees for every round played and this would far out strip Membership fees.
Can I play in amateur tournaments still?
Yes you can, as we are an education provider you remain an amateur through the three years of education. Allowing you to play all the tournaments you need.
Are you the same as BSI?
Yes and no!
