Question 1

Do I need a handicap?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! AVRY The Academy welcomes professional golfers on tour to those who have never picked up a golf club before, and we have coaching, drills and courses suitable for all levels and abilities.

Question 2

Do I need to bring my own clubs?

Accepted Answer

We encourage you to bring your own, so the data and feedback you get are the most accurate, but we do have a selection of junior, ladies and mens right and left handed clubs available for a small charge.

Question 3

Is there a dress code?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! You are welcome to wear whatever you like, other than spiked golf shoes. We recommend casual clothing to allow you to swing freely. We have heating and air-con, so we can adjust to reflect the outdoor weather.

Question 4

Do you have food and drinks?

Accepted Answer

We have hot, cold and alcoholic drinks available for purchase, and we have a number of local partners who will deliver food to you for your booking. We are happy to pre-order this, please let us know at the time of booking where you will see the menu, particularly for peak time bookings. Please get in touch with any dietary / allergy requirements and we can ensure these are catered for.

Question 5

Do I need to pre-book?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend you do to avoid disappointment. All bookings are done on our website or our members app.

Question 6

Do you cater for left-handed golfers?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Unlike other systems, Trackman can accommodate right and left handers in the same group. We also have left handed clubs available.

Question 7

What courses do you have?

Accepted Answer

Our library is ever-growing, and our current offerings can be seen here - https://www.trackman.com/golf/simulator/courses.

Question 8

Can I change my group numbers?

Accepted Answer

For safety reasons, we can only accept a maximum of four people per bay. If you wish to add numbers above this please let us know and if we have space we will add you a second bay to your booking at an additional cost.

Question 9

How long do I need to play?

Accepted Answer

To speed up play, we use Trackman's AutoPutt feature, which is based on PGA average distance and scoring once all players are on the green.

Based on the average amateur golfer to complete 18 holes, we generally say to book:

1 player - 60 mins
2 players - 2 hours
3 players - 2 hours 30 mins
4 players - 3 hours

but please do give us a call if you would like advice related to your ability levels.

Question 10

What if I need to cancel?

Accepted Answer

We understand plans can change, but please either cancel your booking or let us know by 48 hours by ringing or emailing ( we may not pick up outside business hours so please leave a message). No shows will be subject to a 100% cancellation fee.
