As part of your junior golf membership, you can enter competitions at Portobello throughout the year!
To play in any of the events, you will need to visit the golf course or call the Starter 2 weeks before the event takes place. That means you can choose the time that you want to play, and week before you are due to play, the Draw Sheet will be available at your golf course to confirm the time that you will be playing.
Keep an eye on this website for details of results and fixtures. If you have booked your place on any of our junior events or competitions, tee off times and results will be posted here.
Types of events
