About Us - Your PGA Professional Team
Welcome to the official website of Tim Rouse and golf coaching at the Northamptonshire County Golf Club. Tim has been the Club Professional for over 18 years and involved in most of the coaching facilities from the ground up. Tim believes that at Northants County Golf club we are creating one of the finest teaching facilities in the country and the Junior Academy is the first of its kind.

Our golf professionals have computer and video equipment to help analyse your swing. Most important of all, we have a teaching philosophy that Tim has developed over his many years as a coach and a player. It's the philosophy that's based on helping you understand your own unique game.

Since the instruction is so individualised, it can work for all players at any age or level of ability that are serious about improving their golf game.

A Quote From Tim:
"I truly believe we are creating the finest teaching facility in Northamptonshire.
We have an incredibly beautiful and challenging golf course designed by Harry Colt and recently extended by Cameron Sinclair. The first class practise facilities include outdoor long and short game practice areas along with the par -3 course. The PGA Golf Professional staff use state-of-the-art Quintic computer software and video equipment to help analyse your unique swing.
Our professionals will also help you understand your game more fully, helping you apply your own swing to every phase of the game. Our facilities help them cover long and short irons, wedge play and sand shots, trouble shots, chipping, putting and more. They will also help you with your focus and on course strategy while you enjoy the Championship or Colt course."

We offer a comprehensive range of lessons that cater for the total beginner through to the most experienced of players seeking to play to their full potential.
