Coaching facilities

Amendoeira is one of the best coaching resorts you can take your members to in Europe. The extensive facilities include:

  • 3 putting greens
  • Double ended grass driving range
  • Fantastic short game area

Facilities can be reserved dependent on your coaching itinerary, and packages including unlimited range balls for 2 hours are incorporated with Golfbreaks.

Why run a coaching break

  • Create an additional income stream
  • Coach and play with your members in the winter months
  • Build long-lasting relationships with your members
  • Upsell coaching packages for the season ahead
  • Form part of your member retentions strategy

"The coaching facilities at Amendoeira are where this place excels itself. A double-ended range, an under 100 yards area, two big chipping greens and a large putting green mean all aspects of the game can be taught. This venue is hard to beat for all aspects of a coaching break!”
