Our Facilities
College Pines Golf Club is an 18-hole course located on-site at Worksop College. Open all year round, this par-73 course is renowned for rarely closing during adverse weather. We also offers a dedicated short game area, providing pupils with the perfect space to refine their chipping, putting, and bunker play. For more information, visit collegepinesgolfclub.co.uk.
Our Indoor Golf Analysis Room is a standout feature, equipped with TrackMan 4 technology for precise swing analysis and performance tracking. As one of the few schools in the UK with a purpose-built facility, we offer year-round training, with two bays allowing pupils to receive coaching while practising independently. TrackMan provides instant feedback by tracking the flight of the ball and club movement, offering key data.
