Coventry Hearsall Golf Club is more than just a great golf course it has a well built solid foundation consisting of sections for Men, Ladies, Seniors, Juniors and Mixed. At Hearsall we have something for everyone.
At Hearsall we have a flourishing, vibrant men’s section that consists of both 5 and 7 day members. Our club provides a varied competition programme through-out the year for all categories of golfer to exercise their handicap and enjoy a challenging round of golf on our splendid parkland golf course.
Hearsall members can can expect regular monthly medals, individual Stablefords and four ball better balls to be regularly available along with other formats throughout the year. Summer and winter individual knockouts are run alongside these events.
Joining Hearsall, you can enjoy a fine tradition of competition golf. As well as the usual competitions on a Saturday and Sunday, there are also 18 and 9 hole comps available on weekdays offering our members a variety of opportunities to better their handicap. We like to feel that we offer a complete 7 day experience for our members and in addition to our competitions there are some well established group roll-ups who are always on the look out for new competitors which in turn offer members opportunities to meet up with and make new golfing friends.
In joining Hearsall Golf Club you will enter into the great traditions of men’s golf, culminating with the annual prize presentation in October where all of the seasons medals, shields and cups are awarded.
Keen golfers can also partake in our winter league competition which is a very popular pairs round robin tournament that is concluded by knock-out games and a very well supported presentation evening get-together and meal.
All in all something for everybody.
Those members looking for team activities will be pleased to know Hearsall have a ‘B Team’ which plays 17 matches at home and 17 matches away at local courses which are good spirited, social team games. For those of you who are more competitive, our Mid-Warks scratch team offers a more challenging alternative.
Here at Coventry Hearsall we have a very active, growing Ladies Section with over 60 Lady Members, many of whom enthusiastically play on a regular basis. Our ladies are a key part of the club and to support the Ladies section and ensure diversity of opinion, Lady Members serve on our Management and Club Committees and we are represented at Board Level.
The section is headed up by our enthusiastic Lady Captain and her committee, who run a comprehensive competitions programme each year. Our weekly competitions are held on Wednesdays where the Ladies Committee organises a mix of competitive and social golf. We run many qualifying competitions and medals each season where ladies compete for our prestigious trophies. These are interspersed with some fun non-qualifying competitions as well as 9-hole handicap competitions. Working ladies are integral to our section and we ensure they play a full part running alternate day competitions for them at weekends with reserved tee times. The results of these competitions are amalgamated with our weekday competitions to determine the overall positions. For those who enjoy match play we also arrange a series of friendly matches against other local clubs both home and away. These matches are open to ladies not playing in the league teams.
Our Coventry Hearsall Ladies have a great competitive record in the Warwickshire inter club league and have a history of representation at county, regional and national level.
We are passionate about golf and renowned for supporting and encouraging ladies golf at all levels and are pleased to promote our very popular Ladies Apprentice Scheme, which is a great introduction for Ladies new to golf. The scheme offers a mentoring programme where established lady members play with, support and encourage our new apprentices to help them acquire course knowledge and playing etiquette as well as helping them to become fully involved socially. We run Open Days each year, where ladies can come along and experience the course and Club first hand, these dates are published on the website, so please book your space!
Our social side is always fun and lively. We have a number of Presentation and Supper Evenings, Luncheons, Away Days, Cultural Day outs….the list is endless and we like to offer a wide selection of activities for all our Lady Members to participate in.
We guarantee you will always receive a warm and friendly welcome from the Ladies and if you are interested in joining our Ladies’ Section (which we hope you are!), we would love to hear from you, you contact us via the enquiry form on the membership page.
At our last AGM on Tuesday 7th March 2017, it was decided to now allow 55yr old and over to play in our section, which seems to be the norm at most other clubs, so the “Hobos” has now changed to Hearsall Seniors. At the AGM a Captain, Vice- Captain, Secretary and Treasurer are elected and serve for twelve months. Our current Secretary Bob Hunt has served for a number of years and has said that this will be his last one.
The Hearsall Seniors have a current membership of 40+ players ranging in Handicap from 9 to 28. We have a very busy fixture list this season with 26 Interclub matches on home and away basis. These matches are always played in a friendly manner, followed by drinks and a sit down meal. The majority of our matches are played on Friday mornings teeing off at 8.30, although away games at Lutterworth/Olton/Shirley/Kings Norton are played mid- week.
Mick Foster runs a “ Fiddle” every Tuesday & Thursday at 8.30, so members are never short of the opportunity to play golf in good company with associated banter.
The Inaugural meeting of the then named Hobos was on Tuesday 27th October 1981 and was known as the “ Hearsall Old Boys Over Sixties”. The first matches played go back to 1981 when we played against Kenilworth, Finham, Leamington, and Nuneaton on a home and away basis. Further matches against Olton and Stratford were added in 1984 and Rugby in 1985. A match between the Hobos and the Lady members was instigated also in 1984.
Two other trophies are played for each year which are the Bill Williams Trophy presented by Bill Williams in 1993 and the Memorial Cup presented by Don Dovoll’s family along with £1000 to pay for the installation of the fountain on pathway leading to the 10th tee, and a Memorial Cup. The Memorial Cup is played in memory of members who have passed away in the last year. There is also a pairs knockout played after all paid up members go into a draw for partners.

We are very fortunate at Coventry Hearsall Golf Club to have a thriving and energetic mixed golfing section.
There are members and guests mixed competitions on all of the Bank Holiday Monday’s throughout the playing season, 2 of which are Cup and Board competitions. We also have a couple of Mixed Open’s and a group of matches home and away with other golf clubs. The forms for our Opens can be found in the Opens area.
Our Bank Holiday competitions and mixed matches are always well supported and as well as offering mixed golfers the opportunity to play and compete in a very relaxed and friendly environment, dining and drinking with your playing partners and the rest of the playing field in the sanctuary of the clubhouse afterwards means that the social side is not overlooked.
All in all we are proud of our mixed section and the benefits it brings to our wonderful club.
