Taught where
you play

Three professionals, a grass range and a TrackMan studio, all a short walk from the 1st tee. Lessons are open to members and visitors alike.

A member hits balls from the grass range on a clear morning, bag stands and pyramids of balls along the bay line, pines beyond.

The teaching team

Tom Ashworth, Head Professional, on the practice ground with an iron in hand.

Tom Ashworth

Head Professional since 2011

A fully qualified PGA professional with advanced coaching qualifications and twenty years of teaching behind him. Tom coaches the club’s scratch side and most of its single-figure players, and he would rather fix your course management than rebuild your swing.

“Half the shots people bring me are decided before they take the club back. We start with where you are aiming.”

The practice
ground

Everything you need to groove a swing or find a putting stroke, between the pro shop and the 1st tee.

  • Grass range

    22 bays · targets from 50 to 200 yards

    Real turf, never mats. The bay line moves along each week so the ground recovers. Open from 07:00; balls from the pro shop at £4 for fifty.

  • Teaching studio

    TrackMan · two cameras · heated

    Beside the pro shop, with TrackMan and video for every lesson. Members can book it for £30 an hour when nobody is teaching.

  • Short-game area

    Pitching green · practice bunker

    For anything inside 80 yards, with a greenside bunker filled with the same sand as the course bunkers.

  • Putting green

    Beside the 1st tee

    Cut and rolled with the course greens each morning, so the pace here is the pace out on the heath.
