Golf Academy
At Harrow Bangkok we give students a rounded Golf education covering all aspects of the game using a challenging, engaging and exciting approach that provides stimulus for curiosity in learning. At an elite level, we use the pathways through the Academy to train for University level Golf so that they can attain University Golf Scholarships.

Students will also be invited to a range of school competitions including Bangkok Schools Invitationals, International Schools Golf Tour (ISGT), BISAC, FOBISIA, SEASAC and Faldo series.
FITNESS
Strength and conditioning is a key part of development for all aspiring golfers and at Harrow Bangkok we provide students with age appropriate tailormade fitness programs. Each is designed to help develop and improve strength, mobility and dynamic flexibility. All of which are to help improve the range within the swing plane, build greater acceleration and force of the club head whilst also building a more stable base leading to better control and consistency.
