Golf Park Madrid Golf Academy

Golf Park Madrid's golf academy is in Alcobendas, in the province of Madrid. Its teaching programme combines group courses with a five-level structure, running from Básico I to Master Golf II. Alongside this programme, the academy has a junior school that has grown considerably since it began in 2002.

Group courses and teaching approach

The group courses cover several aspects of golf rather than concentrating on a single part of the game. Short-game skills, the long game and strategy all feature in the teaching, bringing together technique and the decisions involved in playing.

Instruction follows the Nicklaus method, with a coordinated approach to short- and long-game techniques. The five teaching levels provide the structure for the academy's programme; the names at either end of that range are Básico I and Master Golf II.

The junior school

The junior school opened in 2002 with 60 children. It now has approximately 450 children, marking a substantial increase from its starting numbers.

Junior golf is therefore a significant part of the academy's activity, alongside its group courses and level-based instruction.
