England Golf will launch Get into Golf Week this August, with the national participation campaign aiming to kickstart a summer of golf and inspire more people to try the game for the first time.
The event will take place August 3-9 and will showcase beginner-friendly, bookable activity at clubs, facilities and community venues across the country. The aim is to make it easier for people of all ages to pick up a club, give golf a go, and discover how accessible the game can be.
Interest in getting into golf has surged over the past year, with more than 150% more people looking at get into golf activity, and bookings up 165% compared to 2025.
With 4,500-plus activities and opportunities on the Get into Golf website, England Golf is galvanising its clubs and facilities to offer even more of a focus on short format and range-based sessions; fun, social and family-friendly experiences; opportunities for juniors and young people during the school holidays; activity delivered by clubs, facilities, community spaces and Community Golf Instructors; and support from Junior Hubs and the Golf Foundation to strengthen the offer.
Get into Golf Week has been placed in August to maximise impact, and it will follow The Open and AIG Women’s Open.
Matt Draper, development and membership director at England Golf, said: “The growth we’ve seen across Get into Golf over the past 12 months is extraordinary, and it shows just how many people want a simple, welcoming way to try the game. Get into Golf Week is about opening our doors even wider and giving families, young people and complete beginners the confidence to take that first step. Golf is for everyone, and this week will help us prove it.
“This campaign works because it’s built around real, local opportunities. When clubs, facilities and community partners upload sessions and create beginner-friendly experiences, people respond. Get into Golf Week gives us a national moment to shine a light on that activity and inspire thousands of new players to get involved this summer.”
