Lessons & Golf Clinics
Let our team of experienced teaching professionals help you improve your game and enjoyment of the sport. Lessons can be tailored to suit your needs and to concentrate on your most troublesome area of the game, so you’ll return to the course with improved technique and more confidence.
Lessons can be individual, group or even a dedicated golf improvement package, including Trackman technology. The Trackman technology allows tracking of all shots and putts with unrivalled accuracy and can identify your strengths and weaknesses. Our teaching professionals utilise this latest technology to help you better understand your swing. The Trackman is also used for fitting purposes, ensuring you have the best clubs for your playing style.

Operation 36 Junior Clinics
Juniors deserve a better way to learn to play golf!
At Cottesloe Golf Club we believe that every golf program should be centered around playing golf and making it fun to track progress over time. This is why we are excited to be a licensed Operation 36® facilitator. We leverage the Operation 36 Development Model and technology to make it fun for our golfers to improve their skills.
Mastering the Operation 36 Model:
Golfers Play 9 Holes From Division 1
Instead of starting at the full tee box, all golfers begin in Division 1 and will play 9 holes starting 25 yards from each green.
Shoot par (36) or better to pass Division
When they shoot par (36) or better, the golfer progresses to Division 2, where they start 50 yards from each green.
Complete the Division 10 challenge
This challenge continues until the golfer can shoot par (36) from all 10 divisions!
Keep track of progress with the app.
Our teaching professionals can communicate with you about your junior’s progress, help set goals and give you the tools to guide them outside of class.
