Testimonials about The Golf Academy

Here are a few comments from people who started their golfing journeys in the EGC Academy and who have gone on to become full time members of the Club.

“I was nervous about playing golf because of my limited knowledge and ability. The Ellesborough Academy was an excellent way to ‘dip my toe’ into the game and see whether it really was for me!
It proved to be tremendous fun, playing with others of a similar standard whilst equipping me with the confidence and knowledge to transition to full membership.
It has opened up an exciting new chapter in my life. I have a great group of new friends and now thoroughly enjoy being part of a very warm and welcoming Ladies Section.”
Alison Oakes


“Having never played golf before, the Golf Academy at Ellesborough gave me the opportunity to learn at my own pace. I don’t think I would have become a member without it. Academy membership gave me excellent tuition and access to practice facilities but also tremendous support from the ladies section of the club. I didn’t expect to love the golf so much but quickly realised that there is much more to the club than golf. The ladies have been so welcoming and I have made lots of new friends.”
Ros Connor

“I have been really surprised at just how much I enjoy playing golf.
It is entirely down to the brilliant academy program in place at Ellesborough.
The academy provides excellent value for money including lessons with the professional, mentoring, great practice facilities and camaraderie. Everyone is encouraged to do their best without any undue pressure.
I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity I have been given.”
Suzanne Packard


“The academy is a great way to get into golf and onto the course with the added bonus of being able to transition to full membership at the club.
Encouragement is given by so many to help your game improve and be confident on the course. I have met some wonderful people and made friends along the way.”
