Professionals

Welcome to the Bristol Golf Club Golfway Academy.

Our team of coaches are here to pass on their expertise to you whether you’re an aspiring Tour Professional, serious club golfer or enjoy your recreational golf. Matt and Laurence have some of the friendliest faces in the business and make learning a fun and rewarding experience.

With over 70 years of combined coaching experience and 1000’s of satisfied students, there really is no better place to improve your golfing skillset.

Our ethos is not to coach using one method but to utilise all of our knowledge and experiences to find the correct solution for the individual. Any aspect of the game can be covered during coaching sessions and we benefit from the access to an undercover floodlit driving range powered by Toptracer, Par 3 course (The Little Bristol), Championship 18 hole golf course, short game area and putting green.

If group coaching is what your after then look no further! We run regular group sessions throughout the week as well as a Ladies Academy and The Golfway Junior Academy.

We are an authorised Explanar training centre, DST training centre and use Trackman 4 and video analysis where necessary.

Coaching prices from £25
