Work on real decisions — targets, club choice, and strategy — on the course with James. Choose nine holes (about 2 hours) or eighteen holes (about 3.5 hours, including coaching stops).

What you'll work on

The skills that turn good swings into good scores — on the course, where it counts.

Course management

Navigate the course strategically — safe targets, risk management, and when to be aggressive.

Club selection

Match clubs and shot type to lie, wind, and situation so your decisions support your score.

Shot strategy

Approach shots, recovery shots, and scoring shots around the greens under real pressure.

Real game scenarios

Wind, slopes, hazards, and the mental side of posting a number — not just hitting range balls.

Why on-course coaching?

The course throws challenges you cannot fully recreate on the range — uneven lies, wind, trouble left and right, and the pressure of counting every shot.

A playing lesson lets you work on strategy and execution together: what to hit, where to miss, and how to build a score. Nine holes fit a tighter window; eighteen gives room to work patterns across a full round. Both complement your range work at White Hills.

Ideal if you are chasing a handicap goal, preparing for an event, or simply want to play smarter golf.
