Group Golf Coaching

We run a number of group coaching sessions throughout the year. The basis of group coaching is to place participants on a course with golfers of similar ability and experience: juniors; beginners; seniors; etc.

The Golf Range

Golf practice can be very constructive and enjoyable. The golf range at Slinfold Park has 12 undercover bays, 5 outdoor bays and a practice bunker. The out field has varied targets with stunning views across open countryside beyond. The golf balls used are top grade, supplied by Srixon.

The Slinfold Golf Academy provides a variety of facilities to help golfers of all abilities to improve their games. It is run by a team of PGA Professionals who bring you a first class coaching, practice and playing service.

Personal Golf Coaching and Tuition

A great way to improve your golf is to seek advice from a PGA Golf Professional. The Professional Golfers Association is at the forefront of golf development and sets the standard in golf coaching. As well as being very experienced, our golf pros employ a variety of tools to help your game.

The Video Coach allows you to see what you are doing as your pro will video your golf swing. Computer analysis allows you to compare your technique with that of a top professional and look for areas to improve. Your golf swing images will be stored for future reference so you can chart your progress.

The Swing Simulator is a clever piece of equipment custom set to your height, arm length and swing plane, allowing you the opportunity to feel your perfect swing. Repetition of a correct swing movement greatly enhances your chances of building a swing for life.

The Huxley Putting Green is invaluable to developing a good putting stroke. A host of other putting and swing aids complete the package. Coaching can take place on the Range, the Indoor Studio, The Academy Course or the Putting Green.

Personal golf lessons can be arranged at times to suit you by calling 01403 791555.
