Not great at golf but still like the game? Want to take the next step but save some money on an easier course? Belmont golf course in Henrico has a driving range, 18-hole putting course, and six-hole Par 3 golf course "Little Bell" that is different from the regular courses. These practice courses allow you to hone your skills without the frustration and expense of 500 yard holes and losing balls in the water.

Event Coordinator: Harrison Jones - thriftstore27@gmail.com

1pm: Warm up on the driving range ($7 - $15 for a bucket of balls)
2pm: 18 hole putting course ($5)
2:45 pm: Put it all together on the Little Bell - 6 hole par 3 course ($12)
Clubs are available to rent. You can also bring clubs that you have.

We'll meet in the Belmont Parking lot at 1pm or roughly there after. This event could be open for anyone to swing by any time before 2:30, because we will just be at the driving range hitting a few balls and at the putting course practicing some putts before we actually play the course at more like 2:45pm. We will likely leave after 4pm.

Total Cost Associated: $24-32
