Purpose-Built Golf Club Teaching Areas
Maximise Coaching Revenue and Player Development.
Why add a dedicated golf club teaching area?
A well-designed golf club teaching area transforms a golf club into a learning destination.
It supports member coaching, junior development, performance programmes and visiting coaches while improving retention and attracting new players.
Investing in purpose-built teaching facilities increases revenue opportunities (lessons, clinics, camps), improves coaching quality and gives players consistent, safe places to practise every skill from full swings to short game and putting.
Benefits of a golf club teaching area at a glance
- Better coaching outcomes: Multiple, purpose-built stations let coaches run focused, simultaneous lessons for different skill levels.
- Increased revenue: Structured lesson programmes, group clinics, junior camps and coaching memberships.
- Flexible use: Space for individual lessons, video analysis, club fitting, short game clinics and on-course tuition.
- All-weather availability: Designed surfacing and drainage ensure lessons can continue in wet conditions.
- Safety and organisation: Clear practice bays, netting and protective barriers reduce risk and keep sessions orderly.
- Player development pathway: Create progression zones — warm-up, long game, short game, putting and on-course simulation.

Design considerations
- Coaching capacity and workflow: Size the area to match the number of simultaneous lessons and coaching formats you plan to run.
- Surface choice: Natural turf for teaching on grass, high-quality mats for heavy-use bays, or hybrid systems that combine realism with durability.
- Layout and sightlines: Ensure coaches can observe multiple students, allow safe ball flight corridors, and provide clear walkways to avoid congestion.
- Technology integration: Plan for power, Wi‑Fi, cabling and stable mounts for cameras and launch monitors to make data-driven coaching seamless.
- Acoustic and visual comfort: Screen adjacent holes and off-site views, reduce glare and control noise for focused coaching.
- Accessibility and inclusivity: Level access, firm surfaces for mobility aids and adapted bays for disabled golfers.
- Drainage, fall zones and safety buffers: Proper drainage and fall areas prevent closures and keep the facility playable after bad weather.
