Help Save More Than a Driving Range

Just Play Golf CIC is a welcoming community space for families, schools and golfers of all abilities. Your support can help us stay open, make urgent repairs and build an even better hub for Rhondda.

The range at night

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
