Santa Marina Golf Academy

For families considering golf during a stay in Cantabria, Golf Santa Marina’s academy in San Vicente de la Barquera has a children’s programme with weekend lessons. Its teaching brings together theory, practice and strategy, rather than treating learning as a matter of hitting shots alone.

Lessons and time on the course

The children’s programme includes outings onto the course as well as lessons. A school tournament takes place at least once a month, making competition another part of the learning programme alongside its theoretical and practical elements.

The weekend schedule is a useful starting point for families looking at the academy. The combination of lessons, course outings and school tournaments describes a programme that extends beyond practice alone, with strategy included explicitly in the teaching.

A connection with Jon Rahm

According to the club’s information, teacher Jorge Losada introduced Jon Rahm to golf. That connection adds a personal detail to the story of golf teaching associated with Santa Marina.
