I personally love to see our team members progressing their careers and showing a passion for the sport, so I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing what they will bring to the Academy, with their focus being our Junior offering.”
Junior golf lessons will be available seven days a week from February 21, with class times from 4-5pm from Monday to Friday and at 9am, 10am and 11am on weekends.

Having worked at Trafford Golf Centre for the past 12 months, it’s a fantastic opportunity to join the Academy team and I can’t wait to see new golfing talent join our Junior Academy in 2022.”
