Junior golf coaching
in Cape Town

Children can start from around four years old. At that age sessions focus on coordination, balance and fun rather than technical swing work, using shortened clubs and oversized targets. We coach children from pre-primary through to high school, grouping them by age and stage rather than by school grade alone.

No. We supply age-appropriate clubs and balls for every session, so beginners can try golf without buying equipment first. Children who already own clubs are welcome to bring them, and our coaches will advise on the right club length as your child grows.

Sessions are coached by Warwick, our head coach, who founded Junior Golf Academy in January 2006. He has completed the PGA Level 3 coaching course and has 20 years' experience coaching both children and adults, plus experience in club fitting and building — which means juniors get matched to equipment suited to their height and swing rather than cut-down adult clubs. We also have a team of experienced coaches who share a passion for coaching juniors at our schools.

Private group classes and one-on-one coaching are hosted at two venues: Epic Golf, an indoor Trackman facility at 186 Main Road, Diep River; and the Peninsula Driving Range in Maitland, home of the Sally Little Centre for Excellence, with over 300 metres of all-grass range plus chipping, bunker and putting areas. School group sessions run on site at affiliate schools across Cape Town's southern suburbs.

Group classes are small and social, so children learn alongside friends and pick up the game at a shared pace — a good fit for beginners and for families wanting an affordable introduction. One-on-one coaching gives undivided attention, a plan built around your child's specific habits, and faster progress. It suits juniors who need extra lessons to get going, students who want to take their game to the next level, quieter children who prefer not to learn in a crowd, and those preparing for school teams or tournaments.

Golf develops discipline, focus, eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills. Because each shot is self-managed, it also builds patience, honesty and independence. The coordination and functional movement work transfers directly to other sports — cricket, hockey, tennis and rugby included.

Yes. We already run sessions at affiliate schools including Bishops, Rondebosch Boys', Wynberg Boys', Wynberg Girls' Junior School, Western Province Prep, Reddam House, the German International School, Laerskool Jan van Riebeeck, Huppelland Pre-Primary, Little Bosch, Westcott Primary, Herzlia Highlands Primary and Herzlia Weizmann Primary. Sessions are designed to slot into an existing school sport programme — get in touch to discuss adding your school.

No. Every programme takes complete beginners. Coaching starts with the basics of the swing and the right frame of mind, then builds from there, so children with no prior experience learn alongside those who have played before without being left behind.

School group sessions range from around R120 to R150 per lesson, with the exact fee depending on the school and how the term is structured.
