We provide golf coaching by PGA Professional coaches, junior coaching, driving range and Trackman Range sessions, indoor Trackman Simulator sessions, Trackman coaching, and custom club fitting in our Custom Fitting Suite with brands including TaylorMade and Titleist, all at our academy in Codnor, Ripley. Our coaches are Will Painter (Head Coach and Academy Director), Hayden Berridge (Coach and Custom Fitter) and Scott Hassall (Coach and Head of Juniors). Bookings are made through our online Setmore booking system, by telephone or in person.

3. Bookings

3.1 A booking is confirmed when you receive a confirmation email or message from us or our booking system.

3.2 You must provide accurate contact details when booking so that we can send confirmations, reminders and any changes.

3.3 Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your session. Late arrival may reduce your session time and we cannot extend sessions into the next booking.

3.4 We reserve the right to refuse or cancel a booking where we reasonably believe these terms have been or will be breached.

4. Prices and payment

4.1 Prices are shown on our website and booking system in pounds sterling and include VAT where applicable. Prices may change, but changes will not affect bookings already confirmed.

4.2 Payment is taken at the time of booking, on arrival, or as otherwise agreed. Coaching packages and programmes must be paid in full or by an agreed instalment plan before sessions begin.

4.3 Custom fitting fees are payable at the time of booking. Where you go on to order clubs through us following your fitting, we will confirm at the time whether the fitting fee is deducted from the club price. Club orders placed following a fitting are subject to the manufacturer’s lead times and are built to your specification.

5. Cancellations, rescheduling and refunds

5.1 Lessons, fittings and sessions. You may cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before your booked start time. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice, or failure to attend, will be charged in full or result in the loss of that session from a package.

5.2 Packages and programmes. Coaching packages and programmes must be used within 12 months of purchase. Unused sessions after that date will expire and are non-refundable unless we agree otherwise.

5.3 Cancellation by us. If we need to cancel your session, for example due to coach illness, equipment failure or severe weather, we will offer you an alternative time or a full refund for that session.

5.4 Weather. Outdoor driving range and Trackman Range sessions may be affected by weather. Indoor Trackman Simulator and coaching studio sessions will normally go ahead. Where a session cannot safely take place we will reschedule or refund.

5.5 Your legal right to cancel. If you book online or by telephone you have a 14-day right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. If you ask us to provide a session within that 14-day period, you agree that you lose the right to cancel in respect of any session already delivered, and you will pay for what has been provided. This does not affect our 24-hour rescheduling policy above, which is more generous for any sessions not yet taken.

5.6 Custom-made clubs. Clubs built to your personal specification following a fitting are exempt from the 14-day cancellation right once the order has been placed with the manufacturer. Your statutory rights in relation to faulty goods are not affected.

6. Gift vouchers

6.1 Gift vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. The expiry date is shown on the voucher.

6.2 Vouchers can be redeemed against any of our services, including lessons, Trackman sessions and custom fitting, unless the voucher states otherwise. They cannot be exchanged for cash and no change will be given, but any remaining balance stays on the voucher until it expires.

6.3 Lost or stolen vouchers can be reissued only where we can verify the original purchase.

6.4 Vouchers purchased online are subject to the 14-day cancellation right unless they have been redeemed in whole or in part.

7. Junior golfers

7.1 Under-18s must be booked by a parent or guardian, who must provide accurate contact details and disclose any medical conditions or additional needs relevant to the child’s safety.

7.2 A parent or guardian must accompany children under 12 to and from the academy and remain contactable during the session.

7.3 Our coaches are PGA Professionals and DBS checked, and we operate in line with England Golf and PGA safeguarding policies. Concerns about safeguarding should be raised with Scott Hassall, Head of Juniors, or Will Painter, Academy Director.

8. Health, safety and conduct

8.1 Golf involves physical activity. You are responsible for ensuring you are fit to take part and must tell your coach of any injury or medical condition that could affect your participation.

8.2 You must follow the safety instructions of our staff and any signage at the facility at all times, including on the driving range, in the Trackman Range bays, in the Trackman Simulator and in the Custom Fitting Suite.

8.3 We may ask anyone behaving in a dangerous, abusive or disruptive way to leave without refund.

8.4 Equipment loaned to you must be returned in the same condition. You are responsible for damage caused by misuse.

8.5 We are not responsible for personal belongings left at the academy. Please keep valuables with you.

9. Coaching results and data

9.1 We will provide coaching with reasonable skill and care. Improvement depends on many factors including practice, and we cannot guarantee any particular result or handicap change.
