GOLFERS will have a chance to test their skills for free at open days being held at Two Riversmeet in Christchurch next weekend.

The event will take place on Saturday July 23 and Sunday July 24.

The refurbished nine-hole course gives people the chance to play a traditional game as well as the opportunity to try footgolf.

This is a new activity which combines football and golf.

Both sports can be played alongside each other so parents can enjoy a round of golf whilst their children play footgolf at the same time.

As well as the refurbished golf and footgolf course the park has a new putting green, a new chipping green and practice range bays and coaching area.

Tee slots can be booked by emailing 2rmenquiries@christchurchandeastdorset.gov.uk or calling 01202 477987.

Limited sets of golf clubs can be hired.
