Fota Island Golf Academy

You will find the Fota Island Golf Academy situated amidst a number of tall oak trees, providing a very tranquil and peaceful setting in which to learn new skills with the help of our experienced PGA Professionals. The Academy consists of two outdoor USGA spec tees, three USGA spec chipping greens and a USGA spec putting green. Indoor facilities include a golf simulator featuring Trackman launch monitors, as well as two trendsetting teaching rooms. Lesson packages are available, and can be tailored to each individual.

Fota Island Golf Academy is announcing its new training centre and membership package. The training centre now consists of two United States Golf Association (USGA) standard outdoor tees boxes, three USGA standard chipping and approach greens and a USGA standard putting surface.

Of particular note are the changes to the indoor facilities at the academy; two fully equipped practice rooms now feature Trackman launch monitors, which give precise details and statistics of ball connection, flight, clubhead speed, launch velocity, height, speed, arc and rotation, all instantaneously. Golf simulators are also available to use when winter conditions become too haphazard for practice.

Along with video analysis, short game, putting and family lessons (for all level h’caps), the new academy membership package also offers access to nine holes on Barryscourt course and reduced green fees on Deerpark course and full eighteen of Barryscourt course.

Annual membership for 2017 is €800 including driving range credit of up to €40 per week.
