Trackman Launch Monitor/Silicon Coach 

The use of technology adds another dimension to the lesson environment. 

We use both Trackman Launch Monitor and Silicon Coach computer analysis as tools to gain more information on your game.  This technology gives us the best opportunity to get the most out of your game. 

A minimum of 60 minutes is required for the use of this state of the art equipment.

 

Playing Lessons

Play a round under the experienced eye of our resident professional.  While you're on the course your professional will guide you through swing adjustments and course management.

A playing lesson is an ideal way to learn how to think your way around the golf course. Choose the right club and style of shot for each occasion, in a way that can't be taught or learnt on the driving range.
