Welcome to Elite Golf Academies
3 prestigious resorts and one of Europe’s finest assembled team of golf coaches.
Having Spent a large amount of time working on the ranges of the European Tour, Elite Golf Academy Director & P.G.A Professional, Steve Bainbridge, identified the lack of facilities available to golfers away from Tournament golf. Steve, set about creating a Tour environment that everyone could enjoy, whilst improving their game and utilising all the latest technologies available.
Trusted by European Tour players to hone their game away from their tournament weeks, we are confident that the serious golfer will see all the benefits of using our unrivalled practice facilities to enhance their game.
“I Couldn’t believe the lack of facilities for Elite amateurs and Tour Players to fine tune their game when back home. So I decided to do something about it and partner with world leaders, such as; biomechanist – Dr Paul Hurrion, Bob Vokey and the guys at Flightscope/Trackman to create the most technologically advanced facilities available. I am proud of what we have achieved so far.”
” There is no where better to get on top of my game when I am away from the tour – I can’t recommend membership and usage of Elite Golf Academies enough.”
European Tour Player
The latest technology & world class practice facilities combined.
Elite Golf Academies currently have 3 world class golfing facilities with a fourth on the way. Kings Hill Golf Club in Kent, Espiche Campo de Golfe and Cascade Wellness & Lifestyle Resort, which are both on the Algarve, in Portugal. Our teaching staff are all P.G.A Professionals and we hold various coaching accreditations with Trackman University, Stack & Tilt, Swing Catalyst, the P.G.A and Tathata Golf.
Our innovative approach to the game and desire to provide the very best facilities to all, required substantial investment to create an environment that inspired all golfers, from the beginner right through to the Tour Player.
Elite Golf Academies have since created 3 stunning facilities with the latest technology including, Trackman 4, Flightscope GC2 with HMT accompanied by V1 swing analysis software, a Quintec Putting Lab and Bob Vokey Short game areas. Not content to stop there, real ProV1’s are always used from immaculately prepared grass teeing areas.

Focus practice time on the right areas
This will give you an idea how important each department is during an average round of golf.

Mark is able to draw on his playing career, which involved him playing across the world to work with various elite players and ensure that they develop not only technical but psychologically. Allowing them to optimise their performance through better preparation and readiness.
Each lesson is delivered with the help of V1 video technology helping to realise actions and change them into realistic movements that can be repeated on the golf course. Players leave every lesson with a clear pathway of how they will release the goals set out at the start of each session. Swing analysis and practise procedures are then sent to each player which helps reinforce the previous lesson and ensures progression before the next session.
Mark heads up the development programme at Kings Hill which has produced national and European winners over the past 3 years. The academy provides a pathway to excellence via structured coaching sessions with player development and on course experience setting it apart from the rest.
