As each group of 4 completes the course a carvery will be provided to fill up those hungry golfers

There will be an evening meal as well, for those wanting to enjoy the venue after the golf. Price to be determined.

Not sure about your swing?

Don't worry, if your golfing skills aren't quite up to par there are other ways to get involved.

Sponsor a hole

We're looking for businesses far and wide to sponsor each of the 18 holes on the course. For £100 you'll get your branding in front of all of our players and visitors on the day including a flag at the hole!

Donate prizes

We will be offering a prize for the longest drive, a hole in one and nearest the pin as well as a winners prize and of course a booby prize. If you want to help us out by offering a prize then please do get in touch.

Memorabilia auction

As well as the golf, we have partnered with Bid4Charities to offer a special memorabilia auction to raise more money for CDS. Keep an eye out for details on the lots and how to register your bids coming soon.

Recently just passed my driving test with John, Couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to start driving. Thanks John and all the best

Peter Assor - Pupil

John was an outstanding instructor for me, and I’m so pleased that I found him to teach me to drive. Not once throughout all of my lessons did I ever feel pressured or out of my depth, John teaches in a genuine and efficient way and became a friend who was really easy to get along with, making all the lessons fun and stress-free. Thanks John!

Jack Wiles - Pupil

I am really grateful to John, for his calm way in which he has helped me to gain the confidence to learn to drive and believe in myself. This I feel , is because he is a gifted teacher who is prepared to share his valuable knowledge and skills. Thank you John

James Jenkins - Pupil

I want to write this review as John has been such a fantastic instructor. I get anxiety whilst driving and learning with John has taken that away, he is so patient and such a humble lovely soul! He made me feel at ease every step of my learning to drive journey and never did he once get angry at my little mistakes he just helped me overcome them in such a way that made me feel more confident in myself. He also focuses on what you weakest on and will help you build on it by listening and understanding.

He’s is also full of wisdom it makes learning fun and he’s good at making you feel happy even when you don’t feel 100%.

It’s really rare to find such a nice, genuine person not only did he help me with driving he also helped me overcome my driving anxiety. Which is why if you’re looking for a driving instructor I would 100% recommend John. He’s one In a million and generally cares about the people around him.

John is an amazing instructor and made me feel so comfortable every minute I was in the car with him, he built my confidence immensely and I can’t thank him enough for helping me pass, not only did he teach me incredibly well but his humour is second to none and our lessons were so enjoyable as well.
