PGA Golf Coach

At Virgin Active, our purpose is to change people’s lives for the better through wellness

We are evolving into social wellness clubs, vibrant spaces where movement, recovery, connection and community come together. Golf plays a key role in this experience, and we’re redefining how it’s delivered: more inclusive, more engaging and more connected to overall wellbeing.

This is a self-employed, freelance opportunity where you will retain your lesson revenue, subject to agreed facility usage terms. You’ll benefit from structured access to coaching hours across peak and non-peak times, giving you the platform to build a consistent client base, alongside the opportunity to grow your business within a high-demand, premium member environment.

We are now looking for an exceptional PGA-qualified Golf Coach to join us in September 2026, delivering world-class coaching while building a thriving business within a premium club setting.
