practice FACILITIES
Bedale's practice facilities are the result of the club's More Golf More Often project — a two-phase development that delivered a fully equipped indoor Swing Studio, then rebuilt the practice ground around a three-hole academy course. Together they give members somewhere to play, practise and take a lesson every day of the year, whatever the Dales weather is doing.
The Swing Studio
The Studio came out of three years of work by club members and was the first phase of More Golf More Often. Inside, TrackMan measures every shot you hit — club delivery, launch, spin and carry — and puts the numbers on screen next to the ball flight, so you can see exactly what the club is doing and what it is costing you.
Use it to groove a swing, work through a lesson with the data in front of you, or play a full round on one of the world's great courses with friends. It hosts competitions through the winter, and it is warm and dry when the course is not.
- TrackMan launch monitor and simulator
- Full ball-flight and club-delivery data on every shot
- Play championship courses in singles or fourballs
- Winter competitions and league nights
- Coaching with the numbers on screen
- Short induction first, then book your own slots online
Academy Course
A three-hole academy course was built inside the practice area, with new tees and two bunkers. It is a proper loop of golf in miniature — the place for a new golfer to play real shots before stepping onto the first tee, and for established members to sharpen wedges, bunker play and scoring without going out for a full round.
- 3Holes
- 3New tees
- 2Bunkers
Driving Nets & Putting Green
Phase two also rebuilt the practice ground itself, with new drainage that keeps it usable well into the wetter months. There is room for full-swing work, chipping and bunker practice, and a putting green for finding the pace of the greens before you tee off.
Members and visitors are welcome to warm up before a round — practice balls are available from the Pro Shop.
Lessons at Bedale
Whether you have never held a club or you are chasing the last few shots off a single-figure handicap, lessons are available indoors in the Swing Studio or outside on the practice ground. Working in the Studio means every change is measured rather than guessed at, which makes progress a good deal easier to see.
Individual lessons, playing lessons and beginner group sessions can all be arranged through the Pro Shop.
- Beginners welcome — clubs can be provided
- Individual and playing lessons
- Group sessions for new golfers and juniors
- TrackMan data and video included indoors
- Call the Pro Shop to book a time
