Our Teaching Philosophy

Our team here at IGA works with golfers of all ages and skill levels!! Our philosophy of teaching the game involves a host of numerous concepts learned from some of the best teachers and players in the world. Not every golfer can swing and move the same way. We work with the individual based on their body type, physical limitations, dedication to practice, to help them reach their goals out on the golf course. We realize that there are a lot of different ways to swing the club, and do not try to mold anyone into a certain swing model. With the use of Trackman Radar, video analysis, on-course observation, and experience: we are able to evaluate the student’s strengths and weaknesses and come up with a plan of attack to improve all aspects of their game!

What People are Saying about Irish Golf Academy

I booked my father and I on Barry’s golf trip and it was one of the best trips I’ve ever had. From landing at the airport and being greeted by smiling Irish faces and a wonderful luxurious bus, to playing the most spectacular courses I have ever played. The accommodations were fantastic… Read More

I spent the the first 3 days of the 2013 Irish golf academy’s trip to Ireland in Killarney. Right from the start it was superbly organised. I played at Dooks, Ballybunion New (being my personal favourite) and Tralee. Its fair to say there wasn’t a bad hole in the 54. There was plenty of time to recover from the golf before our evening meal in the hotel in Killarney. The food was up there with the golf courses TOP CLASS!!! After the meal everyone was free to do there own thing. The majority of us looked to sample Killarney’s nightlife again we were not let down, Brilliant live bands playing each night. Overall 5 Star trip

Sean G.

As a novice golfer, who had never previous played on a links course (or in Ireland for that matter), I was not sure what to expect in terms of course playing difficulty as well as the skill level of the rest of the golfers. I feared that I would be holding everyone up with all of my extra strokes and testing the patience of the group…Read More

Professionally organized and executed from the minute you stepped onto the luxury bus in Ireland, until you boarded the plane a week later to return to the United States. The quality of the golf courses and the breathtaking scenery is unparalleled anywhere else in the world. The accommodations were superb, the food extraordinary, and the Pub life beyond compare. Briefly stated, this was the trip of a lifetime.

Who is Irish Golf Academy?

Irish Golf Academy was established in Warrenton, Virginia in 2013 - the same year Ireland started 'The Gathering', a wonderful idea put in place to bring Irish immigrants home to help support Irish tourism. Small countries like our native Ireland depend on tourism to survive tough economic times, and that's how IGA was founded. Blessed to have breathtaking sites is one thing, but the presence of smiling faces is what Ireland deserves to be remembered for. So 'Gather' your golf clubs, smile, and come experience together the stories of your grandparents' upbringing.
