Each coach has their own approach and principles, and together they form a team that helps every player keep improving.

Why golf for young people?

A sport for life.

Golf develops body and mind, teaches values and gets the family out in the fresh air.

Personal growth

Players look at what went well and what to do better. They learn to ask for advice and take feedback.

Etiquette and values

A game with centuries of tradition teaches respect and good behaviour towards yourself and others.

Fresh air

Outdoors from early spring to late autumn – a better habit than video games or TV.

Quality family time

Golf can be a family activity for hours. A good chance to encourage and praise your child.

Fun and friends

Talking face to face and good company – golf offers this in today’s world of screens.

Health

An active sport with a lower risk of injury. It builds the muscles that support your back, and flexibility.

Equipment from us

We provide juniors with all the equipment for training, free of charge.

Unlimited golf

Academy juniors (up to 18) play and practise on our course as much as they like all summer.
