When the English Golf Union purchased Woodhall Spa in 1995, one of the main priorities was to build a training academy that would be suitable for coaching players of all standards.

The National Golf Centre has one of the finest coaching facilties in Europe and encourages juniors and adults of all standards to visit and improve their skills. We offer a range of golf schools and group and individual coaching packages, which can be tailored to a particular requirement.

The floodlit 20 bay driving range looks out onto an area designed to replicate the problems golfers face when on course. Trees and woodland areas have been retained and greens located to assist the development and practice of a golfers shot making skills.
Adjacent to the driving range is an indoor school incorporating the latest computer/video equipment.

The most visionary aspect of the training Academy is the six acre area devoted to the development of short game skills. In addition to the large putting green, there are eight target greens to aim at offering shots of all lengths up to 100 yards. There are a range of individually styled bunkers with varying grades of sand.

Over the years the EGUs investment in extensive coaching for up-and-coming golfers has produced many of the top players on the European Tour today. Coaching packages are now available to all golfers with several courses and workshops being run throughout the year.
