Golf coaching at Evolution starts from one belief: when a swing change does not last, there is always a reason why. Many golfers leave lessons knowing exactly what they need to change, only to find themselves back in the same swing patterns a few weeks later. Rather than jumping straight into changing your golf swing, our PGA Professionals first work out your goals, what needs to improve and what is preventing lasting improvement.
Coaching runs seven days a week at Ormonde Fields Golf Club in Codnor, near Ripley, around 20 minutes from Derby.

At the academy, our PGA Professionals use TrackMan technology to gather data on how your club delivery affects your ball flight. This helps our coaches understand what is happening in your golf swing and clearly identify what needs to improve. TrackMan also allows us to quantify changes and measure progress throughout your coaching, helping us keep you on track to reach your goals.
Alongside TrackMan data, detailed video analysis helps you clearly see and understand your golf swing. Our PGA Professionals will break down your swing’s characteristics and faults, so you understand what is happening and what we need to improve.
The TPI swing-body connection is a huge part of what makes Evolution a modern, forward-thinking academy. We believe understanding how your body influences your golf swing is key to making lasting changes and reaching your goals. This understanding helps our PGA Professionals identify the right changes for you. Our coaches apply TPI principles and work alongside fitness professionals to help you make and maintain those changes.
Golf is not only about the swing, so our coaching is not either. Four ways we work with golfers.
One hour, one to one, in our teaching studios. TrackMan measures your swing and impact, and video analysis shows you exactly what is happening.
Good golf is more than good shots. Play nine holes with your coach and build the decision making, course management and scoring skills that lower your scores.
Over half your shots are played on and around the green. We find where you are losing them, then build a short game that saves them.
Struggling to make a change? We break down your swing’s characteristics and faults, and how your body influences them. Once we understand the swing-body connection, we build a plan for lasting change.
By looking at the golfer as a whole rather than just the golf swing, we make better coaching decisions, tailored to you rather than to a swing model.

Our approach
Six things that stay the same, whichever part of the academy you use.
Before anything changes, we take the time to understand your goals, your golf and how you actually want to spend your time here.
TrackMan technology and TPI movement principles mean every decision is based on what is really happening rather than an opinion.
Technical, physical, or simply how you practise. There is always a reason changes are not sticking, and we identify it before we act.
Our PGA Professionals, physiotherapist and strength and conditioning coaches share what they find, so nothing gets missed between them.
You leave with a clear, personalised plan built around your body, your goals and the time you realistically have to practise.
We measure again as you go, so improvement is something you can point at rather than something you hope is happening.
Coaching, facilities and the right environment for all ages and abilities. For golfers in Derby, Alfreton, Ripley, Belper and Ilkeston.
Why golfers choose us
Golfers travel to Codnor from Derby, Nottingham, Ripley, Heanor, Ilkeston and Alfreton for one reason: everything needed to actually improve sits on one site, and every change is measured rather than guessed.
Every golf lesson is taught one to one by a PGA Professional and built around your body, your goals and your golf swing. No templates, no generic swing models.
The same radar technology used on tour measures your club and ball on every swing, so changes are proven by numbers rather than opinion or feel.
TrackMan driving range, simulator, teaching bay, grass range, short game area and golf fitness suite, all at Ormonde Fields Golf Club in Ripley.
Roughly 20 minutes from both Derby and Nottingham, with free parking directly outside the bays and the teaching studio.
Covered, floodlit bays from 7am to 10pm every day of the week, so your practice and lessons continue right through winter.
Golfers across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire rate the academy five stars for coaching, facilities and value for money.
The practice facilities here are second to none. I couldn’t of been more impressed, the grass range is an amazing touch and the track man bays are top notch as well, mats are perfect not worn, balls aren’t battered, great value for money, definitely my go to practice facility now.
