Golfzon Leadbetter and the Golf Rooms to Launch Golf Academy in London, UK

Golfzon Leadbetter and The Golf Rooms, a high-tech indoor golf club that uses Golfzon’s simulators, announced plans to open a new golf academy in London, between Chiswick, Kew and Brentford, and at nearby Wyke Green Golf Club.

“We are excited to be opening a Golfzon Leadbetter Academy at The Golf Rooms in London. Our extensive research proves that the golf swing can be taught more quickly indoors on Golfzon simulators than outdoors at a range,” said Benedict Riches, CEO of Golfzon Leadbetter. “Our mission is to help golfers learn to play faster so they can have more fun playing the sport, whether that’s on one of our simulators or outdoors on a golf course.”

The Golf Rooms will have seven Golfzon simulators in the facility designed for play, practice and lessons using Golfzon’s patented movable tee. David Leadbetter’s instructor training program (Golfzon Leadbetter Education) will train and certify the instructors. The Golf Rooms’ membership also includes lessons.

“At The Golf Rooms, we aim to bridge the gap between indoor and outdoor golf while building true diversity through greater access to the sport we all love,” commented James Irons, founder of The Golf Rooms. “Our partnership with Golfzon Leadbetter will establish The Golf Rooms as one of the foremost golf coaching academies in the UK. We couldn’t be prouder to partner with the industry leaders in golf coaching to deliver one of the most comprehensive coaching programs in the world.”

Golfzon Leadbetter and The Golf Rooms plan to expand their partnership to additional locations in the UK and internationally.

Golfzon Leadbetter provides golf instruction and operates the Golfzon Leadbetter Academies and Golfzon Range by Leadbetter. Founded in 1983 by instructor David Leadbetter, Golfzon Group acquired the company in 2018. The network of 35 Golfzon Leadbetter Academies spans 16 countries and includes over 450 GLE-certified instructors.

In 2022, Golfzon Range by Leadbetter launched as the company’s first dedicated indoor training center, combining Golfzon simulator technology and Leadbetter instruction.
