Golf Lessons & Coaching
At The Backyard Golf and Clayton Hill Par 3 golf course, we believe coaching should be accessible, enjoyable, and tailored to every kind of player, from beginners to experienced golfers looking to level up. Golf lessons
Our unique setup combines the best of both worlds:
- A laid-back Par 3 course—ideal for stress-free, on-course playing lessons
- An epic short-game facility—perfect for group clinics and private coaching
- Four full-size hitting nets—for full swing work and technical development
- A partnership with Haus of Golf in Langley—featuring six TrackMan bays for full swing indoor training
Whether you’re brand new to golf or looking to refine your game, we offer a wide range of programs, clinics, and one-on-one sessions to suit your needs. Golf lessons in Surrey.
Our facility was built for coaches, by coaches. Whatever your goals are, we’ve got the tools, the space, and the passion to help you get there.
If you’re new to golf we have built a facility designed for coaching privates, clinic and group sessions. We think learning from the green out is a fun way to start the game. Focus on fundamentals, scoring and getting comfortable in a golf setting is the starting points of golf. We have taken the intimidation away to really let you learn.
For experienced golfers we have a focus on scoring, putting and chipping at the Backyard. We all know 60-70% of our strokes are inside 100 yards. As coaches we want to work with you to better understand the technical, tactical and mental strategies to score better.
All coaches can also guide the full swing in our hitting nets but all have access to indoor Trackman and Video analysis off site at Haus of Golf and Performance Golf Centre in Langley. All coaches have the indoor and outdoor you need to work on your complete game.

At The Backyard and Clayton Hills Par 3, we teach golf from the hole back to the tee. You’ll start with putting, chipping, and pitching, then build on those skills to develop proper grip, stance, and posture for the full swing.
This program focuses on learning to play a par-3 course before moving to a full course, so you can feel confident with scoring and comfortable on the golf course.
Our 4:1 small-group format may cost a bit more, but it delivers higher-quality instruction and more individual attention.
The program finishes with on-course play from 25–50 yards out.
Each participant receives 2 rounds at Clayton Hills and 2 practice sessions at The Backyard for personal use—a $70 value.
