Hi and welcome to our vibrant and friendly women’s section!  We’re very much looking forward to meeting you.

I'm Sandra (Whitehead) and am the current Women’s Captain having taken over the role in October 2024. My vice-captain is Neets (Anita) John.

You’ll be joining a section within our club which offers a good variety of golfing formats – both competitive and social.  And on a course which offers an excellent golfing experience as well as great views of the local area.  I love getting out there, getting away from life’s usual hustle and bustle and settling in to focus on playing, enjoying the scenery and company as we are play around the course.

We hope you’ll also enjoy our many social events and opportunities to get to know each other better.  In the last few months for example, we’ve held a self-defence class, had Father Christmas join us at our Christmas lunch after our morning competition, had a social lunch with a magician who put on an outstanding show, held a 9 and Dine (9 holes ending with a delicious fish’n’chip or falafel wrap’n’chip supper) and, of course, we’ve joined in with the wider Club events such as the quiz evening, New Years Eve Party and we’re now looking forward to our Summer Party with a strong Abba vibe!

Getting back to the golf, our women’s competitions are run on Tuesdays with some also offered over the weekend.  In addition, we run roll-ups on Sundays and Thursdays.  Of course, we can play on any day that the course is available and have WhatsApp groups to find playing partners for competitions or social play. 

The women have representative teams in the Middlesex Scratch League, play in the Pearson League, and have a comprehensive list of mid-week and weekend friendly fixtures against local clubs. Women are also actively encouraged to participate in competitions organised by Middlesex.  

An Academy is run at the club for women as well as men. This is open to women returning to golf or those taking it up for the first time and is a supportive rolling programme with coaching included which can be joined at any time.

The Women’s Bridge section meets at the clubhouse on the first Thursday of each month from October through to March and all standards of play are welcome.

Those joining us at Northwood would be given a warm welcome and assigned a buddy to answer any questions and to help make you feel at home. 

We currently have both full and five day membership vacancies available for women.  

For more information on membership fees and our Academy please contact: 01923 821384 or email secretary@northwoodgolf.co.uk

I look forward to welcoming you to Northwood soon.

Sandra

(Women’s Captain 2025-26)
