Five stars aren't enough to rate James and his ability to communicate and demonstrate the building blocks required to achieve a consistent repeatable golf swing. The clarity is astounding...backed up with trackman stats....first class thank you

I booked a 2 day intensive course and it was excellent! Thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much too. James was able to easily identify the way I learn and teach me how to improve my game with clear, easy to follow instructions. We had a great laugh too, and I will certainly be going back again as soon as I've mastered all that I learned for further improvements. All in all a fantastic experience!

I’ve just completed a 3 day intermediate golf course with James and I really can’t begin to describe how much I enjoyed it and how much it has already improved my game. James was so enthusiastic throughout and he spent his whole time making sure we were enjoying ourselves and getting what we wanted from it. It was actually really useful being in a small group as it gave a bit of time for practice, a bit of time to rest and chill and let things sink in, as well as plenty of individual attention. It was also really useful to see the corrections he made in the other golfers’ swings as it helped

I attended the 3 day golf school with James and it was absolutely fantastic. If you're serious about improving your golf then I really can't recommend it enough.
We were in a group of 4 which I understand is the maximum and this was perfect to allow enough one on one time but also learn from other people's swings and feedback. James made significant changes to our swings but explained the reasons behind this extremely well so we fully understood what we were trying to achieve. He also broke it down into simple sequences so we had clear drills and check points that were attainable.

Fantastic coaching given with enthusiasm. It makes you want to improve and he does everything possible not only to get your swing and set-up right but fully explains why, in a manner that is understandable. Can virtually guarantee that your handicap will come down once everything sinks in. Fully recommend a three day course as all aspects of the… game will be fine-tuned.
It will take a couple or more games after leaving the course for things to settle down as the old ways spring back, so make sure you leave with all the notes given you after the course.....an invaluable reminder.

I attended with 7 colleagues for the 2 day Intermediate course and was not disappointed. I attended the beginner course in Battle last year and the new improved location added to the occasion. The tech has greatly improved and the trainers are attentive and knowledgeable as previous.
I highly recommend whatever your level of skill, there is a course for you

I attended a 2 Advanced course in May. I was impressed by the venue and the 2 great courses on location. When we started the training I was amazed by the technology and how James broke down the golf swing into basics that I was able to almost apply instantly. Covering all aspects full swings, short game, putting and bunkers; helping me to identify the best shot for the situation. 3 weeks on and the improvements are settling in, with the support of the material I have been able to realign myself. Would recommend and looking forward to my future visits.

Last week (17 july 2018) i booked the 3 day advanced golf school together with my golf mate in combination with a stay in the SbN Hotel. The golf lessons are outstanding, it will be very hard to find a better… Pro than James. His passion for golf and contagious enthusiasm is unbelievable. After the lessons we received the Trackman data and video’s in the mail to see the improvement from the day before, and could play the 18 hole golf courses from Stoke by Nayland. Is 4 hours tuitition per day to much? Not if you want to improve your game. I highly recommend James Andrews Golf School

Relaxed, fun and informative couple of days all geared towards those on the course. James gave very easy to follow and personal guidance on all aspects of the game and left me with clear paths for game development. Trackman is an excellent piece of kit and the videos help show some things that you may not initially feel when swinging the club. Facilities are excellent for the golf and the accommodation and hotel facilities are on a par. Will definitely visit again and would highly recommend to others thinking of sharpening up or introducing themselves to the game.

Had a 5 day golf school in the summertime and had a great time. Learned loads of new things and my game has drastically improved already. The hotel on site was lovely as was the food and general atmosphere. My golf coach was interesting, concise and very easy to understand it was money well spent.
Have booked to go again on one of their golf trips abroad and can't wait.
