The Santo Antonio Golf Academy has 14 driving bays with 4 of those under cover, it has a wide hitting area with numerous target range markers and two practice greens, one at approx 120m and one at 165m.
The Academy has a gently sloped putting green similar to those on the course and is used for putting and chipping lessons. There is a token operated ball machine and tokens can be purchased from the Golf Reception and the Academy office. Clubs can be borrowed free of charge from either the Golf Reception or the Academy office.
There are two further putting greens on the complex, one is outside the Golf Reception (behind the buggy park), the other is on the way to the 1st tee. Both greens have gentle slopes and subtle borrows, they offer a fair insight regarding speed and similarity of surface to the greens found on the course.
Also, close to the 1st tee is a Short Game practice area with a large sloping green and two bunkers. An ideal area to practice everything from bunker shots to 60 -70m pitches and everything in between. With undulating terrain similar to that found on the course this short game area offers the opportunity to practice those awkward lies that the ball so often seems to find its way into.
Golf Lessons At the Santo Antonio Golf Academy there are lessons for all: individual, shared, playing, family and children’s lessons, as well as golf clinics.
An individual lesson is suitable for anyone; from complete beginners to scratch and tour players. These lessons are as individual and unique as you are as a person and as a golfer.
Why not share a lesson with someone? Bring your partner or perhaps your son or daughter or simply bring a friend. Shared lessons are not only a great way to introduce beginners to the game but are also suitable for more experienced players who perhaps prefer the slightly less informal structure of the lesson compared to that of an individual lesson.
A playing lesson is a great opportunity for your professional to see your ‘true game’ in real situations and offers a wide range of learning scenarios and options away from the driving range. Why not book a playing lesson either individually or with friends? The lesson will include advice and tips on all aspects of the game such as driving, irons, short game, putting, aiming and alignment to name a few.
The emphasis in the children’s lessons is fun, Fun, FUN. The lessons are suitable for girls and boys aged between 3-16 years old. We have a large selection of children’s clubs including plastic ones with foam golf balls for the younger children. We have flags, hoops and chipping nets for them to aim at.
Golf schools can offer you some of the best results in a short space of time and are suitable for golfers of all levels, from beginners and first timers who wish to learn the basic Principles to advanced players who want to improve and hone their skills.
