PGA coaching,
seven days a week
The Joe Allenby Golf Academy is based at Country Golf. Three of the 22 bays are set up for coaching, with a swing studio, putting studio and short game area on site.

What you can work on
Long game
Driver and irons in the coaching bays, with the ball flight in front of you rather than only on a screen.
Short game
Chipping and pitching, with the Par 3 course a few steps away to take it straight onto grass.
Putting
Stroke, start line and pace, on the putting studio and the green.
Indoor sessions
The simulator room is heated and private, which is where most of the winter coaching happens.
I have never played before. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Complete beginners are a big part of the coaching here, and the first session sets a comfortable starting point.
Do I need my own clubs?
No. There are clubs to borrow, so you can start before buying anything.
What should I wear?
Clothes you can swing in, and trainers or golf shoes. Sessions run indoors and out, so bring a layer.
How often should I have lessons?
Every two to three weeks suits most golfers — long enough to practise a change without losing it.
What if I need to cancel?
Please give 48 hours' notice to cancel or rearrange, so the slot can go to another golfer.
Can I buy a lesson as a gift?
Yes. Gift vouchers are available for any lesson, block or group session.
