Overview
Golf is truly a lifelong sport. It is a game of continuous work, humility, and mastery. Whether you are just beginning, or you are number one on the ladder, the Bement golf program strives to be inclusive, fun, and challenging. As a co-ed sport, all golfers receive a mix of group and individual instruction and our top six players compete in matches against other schools. Currently, the Greenfield Country Club is our home course, where students use a combination of the driving range, the practice green, and playing rounds to learn the rules and hone their skills with the goal of playing in and excelling in matches. The golfers work with their Bement coaches, but also receive assistance from a club pro. We compete with Deerfield Academy, Northfield Mount Hermon, Eagle Hill, MacDuffie, Rectory, and Williston.
