Testimonial
"As someone that grew up playing links golf, I can recommend St. Anne's as one of the best around. Combined with the great location, the local atmosphere, and the friendly service, it's truly a hidden gem."

The practice facilities at St.Annes offer the opportunity for excellent pre round warm up as well individual practice.
The expansive putting area is located between the clubhouse and the first tee which makes it a perfect place to work on your stroke prior to play. The well designed green offers the opportunity for a number of players to use the green at the same time and has the added benefit of being surrounded on three sides by links style dunes which act as a perfect windbreak.
A short chipping green has been built in close proximity to the first tee so that golfers may practice this vital skill prior to play. The green’s design offers some of the different challenges that may be found on the course itself and the opportunity to practise before play is not to be missed.
A dedicated warm up area that is within 100 yards of the first tee is a welcome addition to any club’s facilities. The two netted cages have been built within the dune complex that surrounds the putting green thereby ensuring both privacy and a wind protected area. In addition the warm up area has been laid with artificial turf to ensure the most consistent and weather resistant surface possible.
Playing golf on a links course requires great accuracy and control and an ability to adapt to changing weather conditions. The practice area at St Anne’s offers the opportunity to test all of these skills and all within 200 yards of the clubhouse.
The practice area is some 240 yards in length and has a full sized practice green with three bunkers, so there is an opportunity to practice everything from a bunker shot, a chip, a pitch, short irons, long irons even in some situations a drive.
The links turf will challenge even the best of players to make that perfect strike!
