LANSDOWNE GOLF ACADEMYAt our Virginia golf academy, no two students look or play alike. There is the avid golfer who would like to shave just a stroke or two off their game. There is the weekend warrior who would like to return home and reign victorious in their foursome. There is the never-touched-a-club-before novice who wants to learn the greatest sport. There are the junior players of all skill levels aspiring to be the next big name in golf. And we have an instructional program to satisfy each of them.GAME CHANGERWe are proud to be among one of the few instructional facilities in the mid-Atlantic to offer an advanced biomechanics system to capture your every motion, then analyze it – from address to follow-through – to determine strengths and weaknesses.PRIVATE INSTRUCTIONThe best way to improve your golf game quickly is to work one-on-one with a Lansdowne Golf Academy instructor.

Recommended for ages 7 – 12.“When it comes to sports, Sean has tried several things which I think has contributed to a lack of confidence due to him feeling he’s not as fast, talented, etc. as the other kids. He also has a reserved personality. The Ops 36 program has helped build his confidence while enjoying a sport and you guys have a great way of making it fun while learning. The Lansdowne Cup takes it further with the team element which helps him understand teamwork and winning together. It was also great to see him want to walk along a couple of holes during the Coaches match which surprised me. Your golf program is making a difference with him and we thank you. ““What truly makes the difference is you as individuals and together as a team. Your passion, your always positive spirit even in the face of challenges and your love for the kids is evident to me all the time. The relationships you are able to build with the kids is amazing.”
