Enjoy better golf with our professional golf coaching
One on one golf lessons are structured to allow you to focus on your individual requirements. Our PGA approved instructors will assess your strengths and weaknesses before prescribing the correct program to help you achieve your goals.
Why Coaching?
We’re passionate about helping you play better golf.
Every golfer enjoys the game more when they’re hitting good shots and playing well. This is our mission for you.
Think back to your last few rounds and try to pinpoint an area that cost you shots…
Maybe, you had too many three-putts as a result of poor distance control? Or did you miss too many fairways to the right meaning you had to chip out sideways? It could be that you play well in practice rounds with your friends but struggle to replicate that in competitions?
Through our experiences in the game and our PGA education, we appreciate that every golfer is different. That’s why we offer a range of lessons and packages to suit everyone.
Whether you are making your first few steps or looking to develop your game, our coaching team have the experience to help you feel at ease in an environment that lends itself to learning new skills. Furthermore, we offer a variety of golf lessons that are designed to fit around you and your schedule, so you can learn to play golf at a time that suits you.
Lessons will cover:
- Golf Fundamentals
- Swing Basics
- Short Game
- Long Game
- Course Management
