Our pro golfer was excellent! I went to the school as a beginner and came away with the confidence to play on a par 3 9 hole golf course.
Beginner golf schools are designed for newcomers to the sport with limited to no knowledge. The courses offer a comprehensive introduction to the game, taught in a fun and friendly manner to small groups of similar ability students.
During your course you will learn about golf terminology, how to repair the course, card marking, different types of competitions, putting, chipping, the swing, what clubs (irons and woods) do and when to use them, how to warm up and stretching and the do’s and don’ts on and off the golf course.
On completion of the course we expect that all students to leave with the confidence to take their new skills onto the golf course and with a personalised James Andrews Golf School manual to remind them of their new skills and refer back to if/when you needed, keep them there.
The James Andrews Golf School utilises Stoke by Naylands outstanding facilities. With 2 Championship Golf Courses an 80 bedroom hotel, award winning restaurant and onsite pool and spa there is something for every golfer and non golfing partner to enjoy.

Immediately – but consistency needs practice. So you will leave with the knowledge of what to practice even hitting the ball cleanly for the first time feels like a huge achievement. With consistent coaching, many of our beginners are confidently playing on a golf course within weeks.
Comfortable, casual clothing is perfect. Trainers or soft-soled shoes work well if you don’t yet own golf shoes. As you develop, you might want to invest in golf-specific clothing, but it’s not essential to start.
