A little bit about us
Who are we?
The Aviary was born in 2017 as the brainchild of PGA professional Darren Cain, who ran a number of successful coaching academies across Cheshire, but was fed up of losing so many lessons to the ever unpredictable English weather.
After a busy first year, in 2019 a second room was added to allow simultaneous coaching and simulator play. By 2020, we were going from strength and strength and upgraded our coaching bay to offer Trackman technology. The final reopening in 2021 after many lockdowns saw a huge boom in golf, and we had a complete refurb of the venue and added a second Trackman, allowing for the most accurate coaching and play possible.
The concept is to offer world class coaching and technology, suitable and accessible in all weather, to professional golfers, amateurs and beginners who have never picked up a club before. We have no dress code, no equipment or experience is needed - we are a fun space to improve or begin your golf journey.
