Junior golf coaching at Evolution is built around three pillars that develop young golfers on and off the course: Develop, Perform and Grow. Juniors are coached by a PGA Professional in structured group sessions, learning grip, posture and a repeatable golf swing through games and challenges rather than drills.
TrackMan turns practice into competition. Juniors see their ball speed, carry distance and ball flight on screen, chase personal bests, and take those skills onto the golf course in Par 36 rounds and playing sessions, learning scoring, etiquette and course management as they go. Sessions are grouped by age and stage, so nobody is out of their depth or bored.
Weekend group coaching runs every Saturday all year round, with holiday camps in every school holiday, at Ormonde Fields Golf Club in Codnor near Ripley, around 20 minutes from Derby.
Develop, Perform and Grow, plus the on-course play that ties all three together.
PGA Professional coaching in the fundamentals, through structured sessions, TrackMan and skills challenges.
Playing opportunities and friendly competition, so what they learn transfers onto the golf course.
Confidence, resilience and etiquette. Golf teaches plenty of things that have nothing to do with the swing.
Par 36 rounds and playing sessions, because golf is learned by playing it rather than only practising it.
Juniors who enjoy it are the ones who keep playing. Everything we do is built to make golf fun first and good second.

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.

Golf coaching with Will was a great experience. He helped progress my game using their Trackman technology and the driving range facilities to practice what I had been taught.
