About Golf in Gloucester
Gloucester sits at the edge of the Cotswolds and the Severn Vale, giving it access to two quite different types of golf. The Cotswold hills provide elevated parkland courses with sweeping views across the vale and towards Wales. The lower-lying areas offer more accessible, flatter layouts ideal for beginners and casual golfers.
Why Gift Golf Lessons in Gloucester?
Gloucestershire is one of the most scenic counties in England, and its golf courses reflect that. The combination of Cotswold limestone uplands and lush Severn Valley means courses here have real character — and the experience of playing them is as enjoyable as the golf itself.
Types of Golf Lessons Available
Beginner Group Sessions
Several Gloucester-area venues run regular group sessions for beginners. These are relaxed, social, and focused on the fundamentals. Typically £25–£40 per person.
Private PGA Coaching
Private coaching at Gloucestershire venues gives targeted, personalised instruction for all abilities. Whether building a swing from scratch or refining a specific part of the game, one-to-one sessions produce faster improvement. Typically £45–£75 per session.
Playing Lessons
A playing lesson in the Cotswolds is a genuinely enjoyable experience in its own right. A PGA professional walking the course with you, helping with decisions and adjustments in real time, teaches skills that range time alone never can.
Experience Days
Cotswold golf experience days — a lesson and a round at an elevated course with long views — are a distinctive gift for any golfer. Packages typically start from around £80.
