How to choose your first golf instructor in Barcelona
Quick answer
To choose your first golf instructor in Barcelona, look for two things: official certification (PGA or RFEG) and documented experience with beginners. Private lessons cost from €70 an hour at Eagle Club Barcelona (Eixample), where Marcos and Álvaro teach students from the age of 6. The first lesson is usually a no-obligation assessment.
Which credentials to look for
- PGA of Spain or PGA Europe: an internationally recognised professional certification.
- RFEG (Royal Spanish Golf Federation): a national qualification for coaches.
- Years of experience: at least 3-5 years teaching.
- Specialism with beginners: not every pro is good at teaching from scratch. Ask about their experience with complete beginners.
- Technology available: instructors with Trackman can speed up your learning with objective data.
What to ask in the first lesson
- What is your method for beginners?
- How many lessons do you recommend as a minimum to get comfortable?
- Do you work with data (Trackman, V1) or only by observation?
- Are there discounted packages?
- Do you provide equipment, or do I need to buy clubs first?

Where to start in Barcelona
For beginners, clubs with indoor simulators are an accessible way in: you don’t need any equipment beforehand, gear is included, and the learning curve with data feedback is faster. Eagle Club Barcelona on Muntaner 202 offers beginner lessons with Marcos and Álvaro.
