Welcome to the Friar's Head app, where the experience of our members is our primary focus. We have developed a custom app to enhance your experience on and off property. With the touch of a button, you can request your clubs from the bag room. We have even created a digital membership card and you'll get the latest updates from the club. We hope you enjoy the digital Friar's Head experience. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
