Below is a brief guide to our summer golf lessons programme. All our golf lessons take place at our custom built coaching school at Craigentinny Golf Course and are led by a PGA Professional Coach.

Adult lessons – 4 week blocks (2 hours per week)

The ‘Par’ Course: Created for the complete beginner. Learn how to build your golf swing from scratch whilst learning the basic fundamentals of golf. This course will give particular focus to your short game and provide an introduction to the various clubs in your bag as well as good golf etiquette, i.e. what to do and when. Delivered in our coaching school and accompanied by other new golfers this is the perfect environment for a complete beginner.

The ‘Birdie’ Course: If you've already got a grasp of the basics then it’s time to move on to the 'Birdie' course. On this course you will begin to mould your swing through a more in depth understanding of the fundamentals of golf. Over the 4 weeks the coach will help you to stike the ball conistently, further develop your short game and introduce tee shots and driving. With the final lesson on-course it's the perfect opportunity to put into practice what you have been learning and continue to build on your basic knowledge of etiquette.

The ‘Eagle’ Course: The 'Eagle' course provides the perfect structure for developing golfers. It's designed for those who have previously had golf lessons and started to put their learning into practice out on the golf course. Your time will be spent fine tuning your swing so you can start focusing on shaving a few strokes from your score card. As well as receiving assistance in improving your game through the help of our swing analysis equipment the coach will also help you to self analyse each shot. In the final lesson on-course the coach will place particular focus on avoiding tricky obstacles and starting to shape your shots.

Women Only:

Want to learn in a fun, relaxed environment with no men in sight (well apart from the coach!) then these are the classes for you. The PGA Pro will adapt the sessions to fit the needs of all the individuals so no matter what your ability level you will be made to feel welcome. A great opportunity to meet other female golfers!

Family lessons - 6 week blocks (1 hour per week)

The ‘Family’ Course: Looking for something to do with the kids or as a family? Our family sessions provide a great learning experience for both adults & children, and can be tailored for all levels, so whether you’re a golfer or not, they can be fun and rewarding for all of you. The standard cost covers one adult & one child; however additional adults and children can be added for a cost of £20 and £10 respectively.
