Ladies Golf at Royal Winchester

Captain - 2025

Hello, my name is Deanne Grant and I have the great honour of being Ladies’ Captain for 2025.

I have been a member of Royal Winchester Golf Club for 20 years, joining as a relatively inexperienced player who worked full time. I was instantly welcomed & over the years the club has become an important part of my life. I enjoy playing competitively & for fun & have made many friends. Along with the members of my committee I hope to give our lady members a great year of golf & social events.

The camaraderie within the club is tremendous, it is not just about playing your round of golf, the whole experience of being part of a warm, welcoming & inclusive club makes being a member so enjoyable.

Royal Winchester ladies section offers a very full golfing diary, both competitive & fun. We have weekly stableford and medal competitions, Trophy competitions & various matchplay events. We play 24 ladies friendly matches, home & away, against other Clubs in Hampshire, Wiltshire, Surrey and Dorset, giving an opportunity to play some fantastic courses in a fun atmosphere. Social rollup groups & fun games along with invitational events add to the variety. 

There are also plenty of opportunities to participate in competitive inter-club events for women at all handicap levels.

We also play mixed friendly matches, most of which are at weekends, and many other mixed competitions, some fun & social, others competitive.

Whatever your golfing ability, there really is something for everyone at Royal Winchester Golf Club.

Social Events

Social events, both on the golf course and in the clubhouse, are an important part of RWGC life. Captains Days, the Summer Ball, New Years Eve celebrations and themed evenings are the highlights of a busy social scene.

Come and Join Us at Royal Winchester

Our Ladies section is an integral part of Royal Winchester Golf Club. We are currently looking for new members who can either be experienced, complete beginners, or ladies returning to golf after time away.

Our chalk downland golf course is free-draining and open all year, with trolley use rarely restricted, whilst our recently refurbished Clubhouse provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere where members and guests can relax, socialise and enjoy great food.

For experienced golfers, we have a lot to offer and would love you to be a part of it! We play inter-club matches for both scratch and handicap trophies.

Competition days are Thursdays and Saturdays, with flexibility to play at any time, or within pre-booked tee allocations if preferred. We are a forward-looking club, demonstrated by us moving away from gender-orientated tees to ability based.

Pathway to Golf

If you are new to the game, our academy, run by Elliot Coates and his team in the Professional Shop provides a way to learn with other new golfers. Details of this can be found here:

Women in Golf Charter

We are delighted to announce that England Golf and the R&A have awarded Royal Winchester Golf Club ‘Women In Golf Charter’ status, after we submitted a detailed document to them explaining our intentions to help grow female golf participation at our beautiful golf club.

We have made a wide range of exciting new commitments, and their combined effect will be to boost our female participation numbers, across all ages, over the next few years.

We are passionate about every one of those commitments.
