Golf Coaching Programme

Players train twice a day in small groups with individual feedback. Coaching combines Trackman 4 swing analysis, skills tests and drills with on-course shot management. Each week includes a competition day at a local golf club (with an 18-hole round for advanced players), a tournament day and an awards ceremony.

Coaching is led by Simon McGreal, Lead PGA Coach, a PGA professional of more than 25 years who has competed on the Canadian/Korn Ferry and PGA Tours, plays on the UK's Masters Tour and is the full-time resident PGA professional at Bradfield College.

Choose Your Camp Option

Every player receives the same amount of golf coaching; the difference lies in how the afternoons are spent:

• Total Golf: up to 8 hours a week of golf workshops on topics such as nutrition, teamwork, goal-setting, communication and match analysis, giving an insight into the lifestyle and mindset of a professional.

• Golf + English: up to 13 hours a week of English lessons taught by qualified teachers using the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) method, with golf-themed projects and discussions. Ideal for international players who want to build their confidence in English.

The Shape of the Day

Each day follows a simple, active rhythm: breakfast and a morning meeting, followed by the first golf session; lunch, then workshops or English lessons in the afternoon; and dinner followed by a second golf session before downtime and the evening programme.
