Golf lessons in York
1-2-1 coaching with Dan Musgrave — EGTF professional, 25+ years in the game, 5.0★ on Google. Free taster lesson if you're new to golf.
If you're searching for golf lessons in York, here's the honest pitch: Dan Musgrave has spent twenty-five years in this game, he's an EGTF qualified teaching professional, he's rated 5.0 on Google by the golfers he coaches, and if you're new to the game your first lesson with him costs nothing. Not a ten-minute taster — a proper session with a swing assessment and honest feedback, so you can judge the coaching before you spend a penny.
Lessons run across the city: on a covered, floodlit driving range on the north side of York, on an indoor simulator in Osbaldwick on the east side, and out on the course for playing lessons. Whatever your age, ability or ambition, there's a format that fits — and every single lesson is 1-2-1, built around your swing rather than a syllabus.
Pick the lesson that fits your golf
New or returning?
Beginner lessons start from zero — no clubs, no experience, no judgement. Most new golfers are striking the ball properly inside their first hour.
Want the numbers?
Simulator lessons in Osbaldwick measure every shot — ball speed, launch, spin, carry — so you can watch your swing change in the data, all year round.
Scores stuck?
Three-hour playing lessons take the coaching onto the course, where the shots you're giving away actually live.
What a lesson with Dan looks like
Every lesson starts with your game, not a template. Dan watches you hit, films your swing, and tells you — in plain English — what's actually happening versus what it feels like is happening. Then one clear change at a time, with drills you can repeat on your own.
After lessons he sends before-and-after swing videos, so your progress isn't a feeling — it's footage. His students mention two things again and again: he never watches the clock, and nothing is ever jargon for jargon's sake.
Coaching across the city
Wherever you are in York, there's a lesson venue within a short drive — and golfers travel in from well beyond the ring road:
North of the city? See lessons near Strensall. South? Wheldrake & Escrick. East? The Osbaldwick simulator.
Simple, honest pricing
No memberships, no hidden extras, no pressure to buy blocks. Pay for the coaching you want, when you want it — and new golfers get a free taster.
The 10 Lesson Package works out at £35 an hour, a £50 saving against ten single range lessons.
What golfers say
"Had my first coaching lesson with Dan today… Within 20 minutes I was striking the ball straighter and cleaner. For a first lesson I was over the moon with progression."
— Brian Farrell, Google review"He explains everything in a way that actually makes sense and tailors every lesson to you… he even sends before and after swing videos so you can actually see the improvements you're making."
— Lias Jones, Google reviewWhere exactly in York are lessons held?
On a covered, floodlit driving range on the north side of the city, the indoor simulator at Osbaldwick Sports Club in the east, and on-course for playing lessons. Dan confirms the venue and directions when you book.
Do I need my own clubs?
No — if you're starting out, clubs can be sorted for your lesson. Bring yourself and comfortable shoes; that's genuinely it.
How good do I need to be?
There's no entry bar. Dan coaches complete beginners, juniors, returning golfers and single-figure players — the lesson adapts to the golfer, not the other way round.
Is the first lesson really free?
Yes, if you are new to golf. The free taster is for beginners and anyone picking up a club for the first time, with no card details and no obligation. If you already play, lessons start from £40.
How often should I take lessons?
For most improving golfers, every two to three weeks with a bit of practice in between is the sweet spot. Dan will be straight with you about what your goals actually need.
