How do I find the right PGA Professional for me?

If you’re new to the game of golf we suggest you simply search based on your location as all PGA Professionals will be able to help improve your game.

What happens when I make a golf lesson enquiry?
As soon as you hit send on the enquiry form we deliver your enquiry to the PGA Professional you selected. As well as sending an email we also send a text to the PGA Professional. As most PGA Professionals are busy with coaching or managing at their club you should expect a reply within 72 hours.
How much do golf lessons cost?
The price of golf lessons varies depending on the type of lesson you want and the level of coaching expertise. Many PGA Professionals will offer a discount for a series of lessons and some will also offer coaching on a subscription. Any lesson you have will be great value as it will increase the enjoyment you get out of the game of golf.
What should I bring to my first golf lesson?
You’ll need your golf clubs, although if you’re new to golf you could always ask your PGA Professional for help in selecting clubs. You’ll need clothing that allows you to move freely, especially your arms. It’s also important to wear appropriate footwear with good grip. As you would for any sport it also makes sense to take a bottle of water to keep hydrated. You can see our guide on what you can expect from your first golf lesson here.
How many golf lessons will I need?
This is one question that we can’t answer. If you want to continuously improve then you’ll need to continue having golf lessons. Remember every professional player you see at The Open or The Masters employs a golf coach.
