Operation 36 Powered by Operation 36®

Real Golf.
From Day One.

No range, no boredom, no six months before you play a real hole. Start at Division 1, just 25 yards from the pin, and work your way up the board — just like every golfer before you.

The Op 36 path

Ten Divisions.
One Goal — Shoot 36.

Every division scales the course to your game. Play 9 holes, try to shoot par (36) or better, and you earn the right to move back a division. Tap one to see what it's about.

Where Everyone Begins

Four weeks to your first real round of golf. Putter and wedge is all you need to start — no big equipment spend before you know if you love it. This is the first step; the full Op 36 pathway keeps going long after Division 1.

Juniors are the heart of any club, and getting them started right is what I love most about coaching. Sessions are built to be fun, active and genuinely skill-building — not just hitting balls in a line.
