Welcome to the Leisure Lakes Golf Academy
Thinking of giving golf a try?
Why not come along to the Leisure Lakes Golf Academy where you can be assured of a friendly welcome? The areas premier short golf course, golf coaching and practice facility.
Here at the Leisure Lakes Golf Academy we have a range of facilities, including a 20-bay floodlight driving range, practice putting greens, a 9 hole golf course and a 18 hole golf course which is currently in development. We offer expert golf coaching for all. We also have a junior golf academy and a professional ladies golf coach.
A challenging layout awaits you at the Leisure Lakes Golf Academy, with every hole offering a different test. Two tier greens built to USPGA specifications and rivetted bunkers will provide a stern examination for the accomplished golfer, water hazards and the addition of over 500 trees give the new golfer a stimulating environment to learn the game over a manageable 1'350 yard nine-hole golf course. Alternatively come and sharpen your game on our 20-bay floodlight driving range using top quality, two piece range balls and the best in cushioned mats.
Also you can improve your short game on our 300 square metre putting green or our soon to be completed chipping bunker area, which will provide evrything you need to learn how to play.
In 1999, Norman Marshall took the decision to design and build a 9 hole golf course.
A short course that would challenge the established golfer as well as providing novices with an introduction to golf. Giving people from every background the chance to try golf has been Norman's goal as he felt that golf was still very restricted.
Leisure Lakes Golf Academy provides an ideal venue where tuition, practice and playing facilities are available in a safe environment, at affordable prices.
Coaching
Head Professional Norman Marshall has established The Golf Academy as the leading golf coaching school in Lancashire.
Here we use techniques that Norman has developed through his experiences playing golf and coaching all over the world. All coaching staff are PGA Quailified and have gone through intensive additional training to enable them to communicate quickly and effectively top quality golf coaching lessons.
Norman says, "Its my belief that the best golf swings are the most simple ones. The majority of experienced golfers who come to us need to eliminate some unecessary moving parts in their swings. On the other hand many new golfers are very surpised at how quickly they can get going with golf as we are able to show them the correct technique right from the start without having to undo any bad habits."...
We have a thriving membership here at the Golf Academy with over 120 members. Membership alows you to play unlimited...
In the past, the game of golf has suffered from the image of being elitist and inaccessible to many people. Our aim is to bring golf fimly into the millenium by giving people of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to try the game in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
By combining the academy and course with our existing shop and driving range, we will give everyone an opportunity, not only to learn golf techniques, but also to take their newly acquired skills onto the course.
