Golf academy

The golf academy at Club de Campo Sojuela is based in Sojuela, in Spain’s La Rioja province. Teaching is adapted to pupils’ ages and playing categories, with a programme that combines practical lessons and time on the course. The competition group also has dedicated sessions.

Practice facilities

The academy has a driving range, a children’s putting green, an approach practice area and bunkers. These provide space to work on long shots as well as approaches, putting and shots from the sand. Teaching also makes use of the club’s general facilities.

On-course outings are part of the programme alongside the practical lessons. Instruction therefore takes place both in the practice areas and out on the course, rather than being confined to range work.

More than swing technique

The programme covers the different shots and the rules of golf, together with physical preparation, mental preparation and strategy. Its scope brings the practical side of playing together with the preparation and decisions involved in a round.

Age and playing category shape the teaching, while the competition group’s special sessions form a further part of the academy’s programme.
