Junior Coaching Academy

Every Saturday morning our teaching professionals are introducing new children to our amazing sport.

They learn the fundamentals of the game in a positive, safe environment. They are active outdoors, they learn respect for their peers and their environment, and they form long lasting friendships.

Each week the academy is split into 4 x sessions to suit all ages and abilities.

Group 1: 9-10am 10 years+
Group 2: 10-11am 8-10 years
Group 3: 11:15-12pm 5-8 beginners
Group 4: 12-12:45 5-8 experienced

Each session is 45-60 minutes long on the driving range and shortgame area. Don't worry, parents can make full use of the Bar & Restaurant during this time. The cost is £60 per 10 week term or £35 for 5 weeks. Alternatively you can pay weekly for £8 per session. To enquire please contact the Pro-shop Team on 01803 815000 or email us.
