Southern African Golf Institute is based in Cape Town, South Africa

The Southern African Golf Institute is situated at River Club in Observatory, Cape Town. Their coaches are PGA qualified and personally trained by our Golf Director, internationally renowned coach Grant Hepburn. Grant has trained coaches around the world and is vastly experienced at passing on his knowledge in a way that allows coaches to have a thorough understanding of how to help golfers improve quickly and effectively.


I took some time out and paid them a visit today! What stood out for me is that everybody at the Institute are professional people and dedicated to your golfing needs. They provide private tuition as well as a host of other options from group coaching to full time coaching. They also offer you the opportunity to make golf your career through a PGA Diploma course and other options providing education alongside world class golf coaching.


PGA DIPLOMA

The three year PGA diploma offered by the SA Golf Institute in partnership with Cape Peninsula University of Technology, is recognised in over 40 countries across the world, and is specifically designed for individuals wanting to build a career in golf. 

Coaching is provided by world-renowned Director of Golf, Grant Hepburn, and his team, on an individual and group basis, while the Cape Peninsula University of Technology provide education and lectures on subjects specific to the PGA Program, as well as various additional subjects that may be of interest to students. With world class coaches and experts in sports psychology, golf fitness and life skills, the SA Golf Institute prepares its students for a playing career in professional ranks. 

During the course of study amateurs retain their amateur status ensuring that they can compete on provincial and national level before electing to turn professional. For those who don’t make it as a tour playing professional, the PGA subjects prepare and qualify students for a career in the golf industry, which may include green keeping, club management, events co-ordination, coaching, retail, golf tourism, course architecture, consulting, and tournament officiating. The PGA of SA is affiliated to the PGA’s of Europe and the PGA qualification is internationally recognised. 

The SA Golf Institute will also be introducing a Golf Gap Year in 2013 - a one year golf certificate and golf program - including three subjects at Cape Peninsula, membership at The River Club Driving Range and the coaching program, designed to give players a chance to not only work on their game but to study some of the PGA subjects, and this certification counts as credit towards the PGA Diploma, should they wish to continue their studies.
