At Sherfield School, we believe in nurturing talent in and out of the classroom. Our Golf Academy, situated at the picturesque Sherfield Oaks golf course next door to the school, offers a premier programme for aspiring young golfers.
Facilities and Access
The Golf Academy is seamlessly integrated with Sherfield School and has direct access to one of the two 18-hole golf courses at Sherfield Oaks. This proximity ensures our students have unparalleled access to top-notch facilities and a conducive environment for honing their skills.
Structured Programme
Our dedicated golf programme caters to various skill levels, providing a minimum of three hours of golf per week. More advanced players can enjoy up to four mornings of golf each week. Morning sessions are carefully scheduled before school hours, and students are transported back to school via a shuttle bus, ensuring they arrive in time for their first lesson.
Integrated Coaching
In addition to the structured sessions, our golf coaching is integrated into the school’s weekly games sessions. This approach allows students to receive targeted instruction and practical experience while balancing their academic commitments.
Competitive Opportunities
Students in the Golf Academy have the chance to compete in various tournaments across the UK and even beyond, including prestigious events in Guernsey. These competitions are a great way for students to challenge themselves and showcase their skills on a larger stage. The cost of participating in these events is included in the academy’s fees, ensuring that our students can focus on their game without financial concerns.
“Addi joined Sherfield last September as a keen golfer who already represented Hampshire but his progress as part of the Sherfield Golf Scholar Programme has been amazing. The support of the school and sports department in the performance of the entire golf squad is incredible.”
