The cinema at the golf club is great for family’s and groups. The screening times and current movies can be found on the Facebook page or web site.
The cinema is similar to gold class experience but much more economical.
The only down side is that children under 18 cannot be left in the club unsupervised, which means even teenagers can’t be left. You can however be in the club house while they are in the movie. Snacks and drinks can be ordered and eaten while watching the movie.
