With adult group coaching on the Get into Golf scheme and a hugely popular junior golf academy as well as varied options for individual lessons all available every golfer is catered for. The facilities used for coaching include an open long game practice area as well as 2 putting greens and 2 chipping greens complete with practice bunkers.
The introduction of a state of the art indoor golf studio makes Exeter Golf and Country Club the top venue for golf coaching in the region. The studio is fitted with a GC2 simulator and launch monitor which allows the golfer to see accurate data from their golf shots which aids the improving process and helps them develop a good understanding of their own techniques. Video analysis is also used within lessons to allowing the golfer to visually see their own techniques and the progress they have made. The studio is also fitted with a indoor putting green to allow putting lessons all year round.

Golf Simulator Studio
What golfers think…
“What an amazing new facility Exeter Golf and Country Club has in the new Darren Everett Golf Studio.
I was lucky enough to play a matchplay round at the fantastic Abu Dhabi HSBC Champions Course with Darren, Assistant Chris Honeywill and Neil Woolfrey last week. The simulator gives a truly realistic impression of golf, without the cold, wet or prospect of losing any balls, fantastic!
The system is intuitive and clever and with the added feature of “pressure putting” for those tricky putts inside 10 feet using the Studio’s putting green gives a truly exciting platform for indoor golf. Combined with the ability to have a beer, or a coke and a bite to eat from the Sports Bar while playing or practicing adds a really pleasant social aspect to the facility.
Darren has completed the Studio to a really high standard, comfy sofas, the fitting kits for Titleist, Callaway, Taylor Made and Ping all displayed, and the overall “finish” of the whole studio at a really very impressive level.
We had a brilliant evening, full of laughs. Darren and Neil were very fortunate to snatch a half on the 18th after Chris and I had shown them how to really play earlier in the round.
If you haven’t yet, book up with some buddies and go and play golf somewhere exciting!”
