Save Just Play Golf Driving Range – Help Us Build a Community, Not Just a Range

We’re Just Play Golf CIC, a social enterprise in Rhondda, South Wales, making golf fun, welcoming, and accessible for everyone – families, schools, beginners, and experienced players alike.

What started as a rundown driving range has become a hub for connection, wellbeing, and opportunity, with over 23,000 visits a year.

But now, our future is at risk.

The Challenge

In 2019, I bought this neglected range and rebuilt it from the ground up – even during Covid lockdowns. In 2021 & 2023, we invested in Toptracer technology to give our community the best experience, but it left us with £55,000 debt.

Now, with rising costs, broken equipment, and urgent repairs, we need £160,000 to:

• Pay off debt & remove financial pressure

• Repair & replace damaged equipment

• Build a café space for socialising & community events

• Run inclusive sessions for young people, schools & families

Without help, we may be forced to close – losing a vital community space.

Our Vision

We’re building more than a golf range. We’re building:

• A safe place for young people

• A welcoming hub for all ages & abilities

• A venue for family time, social events & wellbeing

• Jobs, volunteer roles & training opportunities
