New to Golf? Start Playing in a 6 or 9-Hole League

Posted by North Oaks Golf Club on Mar 7, 2018 10:48:37 AM

Trying anything new can be intimidating the first time — such as sky-diving, for instance. (Although we'll admit that success versus failure is fairly clear-cut and recognizable in that case.) While most endeavors are less life-threatening than jumping from a plane, even playing golf can be intimidating right out of the gate. Therefore, golf clubs offer ways to introduce new golfers to the game that are designed to make it fun and not chase golfers away before they have a chance to discover the joy of the game.

Although most golfers are male, women also love the game, and many boyfriends and husbands want to get the women in their lives interested in the game. But for many new female golfers, playing 18 holes of golf with men is intimidating, no matter the skill level. According to Ray Vennewitz, head golf professional at North Oaks Golf Club, beginners should be made to feel comfortable when they come to the course. And playing in a more social 9-hole league can help them accomplish that.

How Golf Clubs are Changing with the Times: Renovations at North Oaks

Posted by North Oaks Golf Club on Jan 24, 2018 9:01:30 AM

In 2007, Tom Lehman and his golf course design group renovated the North Oaks Golf Club course to make it more challenging for low handicappers and more playable and fun for the average golfer. Now, the club is renovating the clubhouse with something similar in mind — enhancing the experience for all members and guests.

“We’re doing a $4.5 million renovation of the clubhouse facility, including updating the exterior of the building, adding a couple buildouts, and re-appropriating all of our dining spaces,” says Phil Anderson, North Oaks Golf Club general manager. “So, it is a fairly big overhaul in resetting the clubhouse to match up with our members’ expectations for desired experiences.”
