Programmes for new and experienced golfers

The academy organises its coaching into several distinct pathways. Free assessments are offered to help newcomers identify the programme that best suits their needs.

Junior golf pathway

Junior golfers are served through a structured and social Junior Academy, with weekly classes across six progression levels designed to get children club and course ready. The academy also runs weekly Junior Golf Camps during school holidays, which aim to help young golfers improve their game and make new friendships. Junior Golf Events give participants the chance to experience learning the game, playing the course and developing friendships. Junior Golf Equipment is listed as a further area of the junior offering.

Coaching facilities

Lessons take place at Milford Golf Club, where the academy uses a dedicated short game area for chipping, pitching and longer chips, as well as an immaculate putting green for distance putting and green reading practice. The golf course itself has multiple tee positions on every hole, catering to golfers of all abilities, and is maintained in excellent condition throughout the year according to the academy. The course offers views of the surrounding area.

Coaching team

Robin McGarr is the Head PGA Professional based at Milford Academy. His coaching biography describes a lifetime dedicated to golf, with experience working across the sport and around some of the world's top players and coaches. He emphasises a simple, grounded approach and believes that sessions should take place on the golf course itself so golfers can understand their individual strengths and weaknesses. He has worked through individual coaching, clinics and public talks.

There is no dress code for lessons; comfortable clothing suitable for the weather is recommended, with trainers advised for those without golf shoes.
