Golf and croquet academy

For families considering an introduction to golf, Tambre Golf & Croquet in Oroso, A Coruña, has a sports academy for children aged 4 to 17. Golf, pitch & putt and croquet all feature in its teaching programme, bringing together ball-striking skills and the decisions that shape play.

Trying the game

The lessons are designed to help beginners get started and progress to playing on the course in a short time. The club lends equipment to try the activity, so children do not need their own kit for that first introduction.

FlightScope technology is part of the teaching approach. It analyses distances, ball flight and ball speed, among other data, providing measurable information about shots as pupils learn.

Croquet alongside golf

The academy also teaches croquet, which can be played as singles or doubles. Concentration and technique matter, but so do strategy and psychology: choosing how to play is part of the challenge, alongside executing the shot. Together with golf and pitch & putt, it gives the school's young players several ways to explore these skills.
