What a hidden gem of a place!

Cannot recommend a visit highly enough it's a golfers paradise and unique in my experience, a genuinely lovely, friendly and relaxed atmosphere , outstanding facilities (the new Performance Studio and Putting Lab is amazing!) and offers something for everyone whether starting from scratch or trying to play off scratch! I work for Yell, have worked with SGA for the last few months so have got...ten to know them and, as important as their technology/facilities/expertise is, what stands out for me is the passion of their whole team to make golf as fun and accessible as possible for everyone from a 7yr old on a first ever school visit to a 70yr old looking to adjust their swing and get back playing following a knee op!!

Custom Fit and Iron Buying Experience

5
I went to get custom fitted for some new irons and James was very helpful, sourcing a few different shafts outside of the standard ones the manufacturers put into their standard testing kits and was very patient whilst I made up my mind up, with zero pressure to buy. When I came to make the purchase the price was as good as was available anywhere so an all round excellent service. The range is great too, well maintained, decent mats and new balls and whilst I've not played it the par 3 course always looks very well looked.

Southport Golf Academy is brilliant!

5
I think the course is challenging most members are friendly the staff are very helpful. The cafe is excellent. The green keeper does a superb job keeping the course open and improving the course. I play 3 or 4 times a week and travel from widnes but I feel at home here. Many thanks

Without doubt the best teacher I’ve ever come across

Been playing for 6 years now and have had James as a coach since I started. Now hitting low eighties on a full size par 72 6500yd course at the age of 56. He always finds a way to make the next step easy to understand. Without doubt the best teacher I’ve ever come across. Highly recommended professional coach in all aspects of golf .

Great driving range

Great driving range. Lovely, Very helpful staff. Really enjoy going round the 9 hole course. Greens kept lovely and the rough at each side of fairway is lovely, I spend a lot of time inspecting it.....

as Arnie says

Very friendly owner/staff, haven't played for a long time so I just needed a 9 hole to get back into golf. This was just the place,nice fairways and excellent greens. The cost was very reasonable ,just have to be aware of the road to the left teeing off number 9. All in all well worth the visit and as Arnie says

This is a great challenging course...

This is a great challenging course... However the fairways are narrow and greens difficult. It really encourages accurate play. The course is extremely well kept, the grounds men get 10/10. The matting on the tees is quirky and difficult sometimes to get your tee to stay put. Your tee often bounces behind you after a good drive. The practice areas are very good and the driving range is as expected. The cafe is the best I’ve seen at a golf course. I want to join and play more regularly.
