The Golf Academy has been introduced for a few weeks between June and July to the Resort’s guests and golfers, to ensure that our promises can be delivered.
With a unique location, strong knowledge from a dedicated Golf expert team and cutting edge golf technology, the Cascade Performance Golf Academy will become the home for many golfers who want to improve their game and spend unique moments in sunny southern Portugal.
Operated by Golf Integrated, the Cascade Performance Golf Academy was officially launched on 7th October 2013 with one mission in mind: to speed up the development of the game of golfers of all levels, whilst they spend a relaxing time in a perfect environment. The technology takes the guesswork out of tuition giving a ‘real’ position from which to work and improve within hours, with golfers having full access to information on their swing, weight distribution, putting technique and more. From beginners to pro golfers, the Golf Integrated® team is ready to help players with their difficulties or simply to improve an already good game.
The Golf Academy has been introduced for a few weeks between June and July to the Resort’s guests and golfers, to ensure that our promises can be delivered. In those four weeks of our showcase / pre-launch, we had around 60 golfers who attended private lessons and golf clinics. The feedback has been amazingly positive and this has demonstrated that the format is right for our audience.
Our Golf Academy boasts a double ended driving range, putting areas, chipping areas, bunkers and many other features, all designed by the world renowned European Golf Design. Golfers will also have the chance of putting what they’ve learned into action on one of the many neighbouring golf courses, some of which are amongst the best in Europe.
The Cascade Performance Golf Academy is part of the Sport Academies portfolio developed by the Cascade Wellness & Lifestyle Resort, which focuses on Football – opened in 2011; Tennis – coming soon; and the Golf Academy, as well as outdoor activities, such as mountain biking and luxury Boot camps to name just a few.
Targeted towards the exclusivity of golf coaching and combining five key elements, we feel that the Cascade Performance Golf Academy is one of the few locations in Europe to have those key elements combined in a unique setting.
- “Our Team and Your Time” coaching programme
- Long game: “FlightScope X2”
- Long game analysed: “V1 Swing Analysis”
- Putting: “SamPutt Lab”
- Balance and power “SAM BalanceLab”
“All golfers work hard to enjoy their spare time; we work hard to use that time efficiently! Our highly trained and professional team will use their experienced eyes, combined with the data from the technology, to give you the quickest route to better golf”, said Neil Connolly – CPGA Director & Golf Integrated Pro Golfer.
The Golf Academy will allow this performance sports concept to come to life with a very unique approach for golf lovers, providing them with a unique lifestyle concept, which cleverly combines luxury accommodation, superb sports facilities, impeccable service and with more than 300 days of sunshine per year.
The combination of the Cascade brand and the fabulous golf courses nearby is now appealing to a whole new audience, who is looking for high standards of quality and luxury golf products.
As part of the Cascade Wellness & Lifestyle Resort, the Golf Academy is set within a fabulous location in the Western Algarve in Portugal, and offers magnificent sea views from a cliff top location. Featuring a 5-star hotel with 86 rooms and suites, as well as several luxury apartments and villas, this Lagos-based resort stands out as one of the best resorts in Portugal by offering a truly unique lifestyle and an impressive list of facilities.
The Resort features two restaurants, (the fine dining venue Senses and the more casual Moods), the sophisticated Purpur Bar, a fully equipped, state-of-the-art gym and the luxury Tainai Spa, which provides a wide choice of holistic treatments inspired by the four corners of the world and uses products by world renowned professional skincare brand Babor.
