Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I had a lesson with Ryan on Friday 8th May. He was not only extremely knowledgeable, but has a very pleasant and comfortable method to express his teaching. I would highly recommend Ryan.

Had an initial lesson with John

Had an initial lesson with John. A really laid back informative guy. Put me at ease throughout and definitely useful. Loved the use of cameras recording my swings and will be back in the future for further lessons.

John is a top coach

Had a lesson off John today at Mersey valley golf club,in the one hour lesson he changed how I feel about playing golf in just three simple tips he give me,I’ve returned to playing after a very long lay off and I’m playing in Scotland this coming week,and was feeling uneasy and nervous as the couple of practice games I’ve had things haven’t gone well! But today’s lesson has changed my mind set and I’m now looking forward to the games! Will definitely be back for more coaching from John with hope to make my game more enjoyable than it’s ever been when I’m on the course

5* Experience at the Cheshire Golf Academy

Started going to the Cheshire Golf Academy as a complete novice to Golf a couple of years ago. The sessions are taught in a super comfortable manner making it as simple or complex as you wish.
John @ the Cheshire Golf Academy makes you feel prepared and confident to go out play and enjoy the game.

Get booked in and thank me later!

After a long break from golf I decided to try and get back into it and book some lessons. I asked around my golfing friends and did a bit of research online on tuition in my area and John’s name at Cheshire Golf Academy kept popping up so I booked online and went for my first lesson a week later. 4 lessons later and John is my new hero. His understanding of the swing is second to none but what’s more impressive is his ability to explain it in as complex or as simple terms as you prefer, the minute I struggled to understand the terminology he had a number of ways of explaining it so we were on the same page. When I picked up my clubs again 2 months ago I could never of dreamed of playing the golf I am currently. The facilities John has at the academy are of the highest level. I’ve had lessons on the practice ground, on the course and in the indoor simulator. The app he uses for my lessons is incredible, I didn’t even notice him recording me on my first lesson and was blown away at the end when he showed me everything and sent me a before video, an after video and a full evaluation with drills straight to my phone which has been invaluable and something I watch before playing or going to the range. If you want to improve get booked in and thank me later 👍🏻

Great coach, lovely guy

I'm so glad I decided to take lessons with John. As a brand new starter with no previous experience I've been delighted with the way John broke everything down into manageable steps. He took care to pitch things in language I could understand, very quickly assessed my current level of ability, and set about developing that step by step.

He is so enthusiastic about this ridiculously addictive little game and transmits that joy during coaching sessions. Always patient, encouraging and good humoured, with the end product being I now have my official handicap.

Thanks John!

Won’t find a better coach!

Came to John just over a year ago with little to no experience of swinging a club, a year on and pars have become a regularity on the scorecard. His bespoke one to one coaching is more than I ever could’ve imagined.
Every lesson is filled with years of valuable knowledge and guidance, stemming from a real top man in John.
If you’re after the very best mentorship to help you reach all your golfing targets, then John is your man!

John is a fantastic coach

John is a fantastic coach. He breaks the lesson down for you exactly to the version you prefer it. If that’s technical or “feel” he can separate the two but gets the results for you either way. The feedback post even is fantastic and you get the feel of a an actual “coach” more than just a singular lesson.
100% I am swinging the golf club better than I have done and I have been playing golf for 30 years.
I can highly recommend his services and anyone I have sent Johns way has had the same feedback.

John is an excellent choice for lessons and coaching, he changed small things that made massive improvements in my golf swing and have made my scoring on the golf course so much better. I have had numerous coaches but John makes it easy understanding the golf swing. I cannot recommend John enough for all handicaps.

Want to be better at Golf... you need John

Had a couple of lessons now with John and I can honestly say, I have a whole new perspective on my game... in the 1st session alone John helped me realise why I had so many fat and thin shots, my nasty slice and then the massive duck hook while trying to figure out what was going wrong myself... Johns teaching style is very accommodating to everyone who wants to get better at the game we love. Can't be happier with my progress 👍🏌‍♂️

Great overall experience!

Everything about the John is great. From him as a coach and teacher to the facility and him as a bloke.

Identifies the root cause of issues, explain why they are happening and breaks apart what needs doing and how we can improve. Very adaptable to mechanical and feel depending on player preference.

Facility is top notch. Indoor trackman is quality and really backs up any changes with the data.

There is no other coach I’d rather see

I’ve been having lessons with John now for a few years, I went to him at the start of my PGA Professional career and throughout our sessions John has helped me grow as a player, a coach and as a Professional.

During our sessions, John is quick and definitive in finding the positives and the the errors in your swing, and the best path to correcting them. His analytical and personal approach during sessions, alongside his golf swing knowledge make our sessions an ideal environment for effective learning. This shows with just how much I take away from every session, how much of his teachings sink in and how much I have improved as a player and coach, thanks to John.

In between sessions John asks for swing and results updates and provides feedback based on your responses, his personal approach far outreaches the session duration which is something I find more than helpful in between sessions whilst completing unguided practice.

Do not delay….

There are a lot of golfers that I see who resist getting the help of a professional for too long. I was also one of them. My learning curve for golf was gradual improvement year to year, until I went to see John. Now with each visit my understanding of what’s needed takes giant steps forward, and with that my game. John will make you feel comfortable and relaxed. So don’t waste time!

Great Coach, Better Bloke

I've really enjoyed working with John over the last 6 months. I went to John with a very clear goal - I want to enjoy playing the game again.

John's analytical view alongside his personable approach quickly identified a path to improvement which I'm confident that with regular lessons and plenty of reps I'll get there.

The studio, lesson delivery and regular updates all add up to a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Thanks John.

From zero to hero in 60 minutes

Went to see John this week as felt like my game was so far gone there was no way back, 60 minutes later I’m striking it like Rory, played two rounds this week with zero lost balls and no doubles 🔥 ! Would highly recommend
