Confident, consistent golf — a short drive from the city.
If you're a golfer in Southampton looking to lower your scores, PGA Professional Danny Coombs coaches just outside the city at Hamptworth Golf & Country Club — a genuine practice facility with 8 all-weather bays, a full-length driving range and a dedicated short-game area, set on the edge of the New Forest.
It's an easy 20-minute run out of Southampton, and a world away from a crowded city-centre net: room to hit driver, free parking on arrival, and one-to-one attention from a coach who keeps things simple. Whether you've never held a club or you're a single-figure golfer refining your game, every lesson is built around you — with one clear thing to work on and drills you can actually use.
Southampton golfers get all the coaching, none of the city hassle — and free parking the moment you arrive.
Good coaching options inside Southampton usually mean a cramped net or a busy range with someone waiting on your bay. Hamptworth is the opposite: a full-length driving range, eight covered all-weather bays and a dedicated short-game area, all a 20-minute run up the M271 and A36. For a lot of Southampton golfers, a lesson here feels like a proper afternoon out rather than a queue in the city.
Danny coaches complete beginners who have never held a club, weekend golfers from around the city who want to stop leaking shots to the right, and low-handicappers chasing the last few strokes off their game. Every session starts by understanding where you are and what you want, then works on the single change that makes the biggest difference — no jargon, and no ten-point swing rebuild you'll never remember.
Lessons use a GC Quad launch monitor and video, so you can see your real numbers and your actual swing rather than just being told about them. You go home with a written summary and a couple of simple drills to groove at your local Southampton range between visits — the part that actually turns one good lesson into lasting improvement. You can watch Danny's drill videos to see what that looks like.
Choose a 25-minute focused session (£35), a 40-minute lesson (£50) or a full hour (£70) for a deeper look at your swing, short game or on-course strategy. Prefer regular coaching? A monthly membership from £33.99 gives you a lesson every month, priority booking and a summary after each one. Junior, ladies' and small evening groups are all available too — handy for Southampton commuters who'd rather play after work.

Hamptworth sits just north-west of Southampton, a straightforward drive out towards the New Forest and Salisbury — handy from the city centre, Shirley, Totton, Millbrook and Eastleigh alike.

“Danny is a superb golf coach. I've only had one lesson and already my game has improved. He explains the technicalities of your swing in simple terms, in a way I've not experienced before with other coaches.”
“Four lessons in and the improvement's been clear. He keeps it practical, gives you stuff you can actually use on the course and works around your limitations rather than forcing it.”
“Been working with Dan for the last 3 months and he's made a substantial difference to my swing. Really easy to talk to, and always spares time around the club. Highly recommend.”
It's roughly a 20-minute drive from the city centre — out on the M271 and A36 towards the New Forest. It's easy to reach from Shirley, Millbrook, Totton and Eastleigh, and there's free parking right beside the practice bays when you arrive.
Absolutely. A lot of Danny's Southampton golfers are brand new to the game. First lessons keep things simple — grip, set-up and a repeatable swing — so you leave with one clear thing to work on rather than a head full of technical terms.
Yes. The academy is open seven days a week with evening slots, which suits Southampton commuters — book a session on the way home or at the weekend. Sociable small evening groups are available too.
