What Our Students Say
Heinrich Bandat - Class of 2020
“Really enjoying my time at African Turf Academy as a first year. They have a great education system in place to open doors in the golf space for the green keeping side and great coaching if you want to become a professional golfer. Can’t wait to continue my journey at this prestigious academy.”
Ruan Britz - Class of 2019 & 2020
“During my 16 months at African Turf Academy I have learnt so much, not to mention the experience I gained. I was fortunate to work at the Omega Dubai Desert Classics, 2020. This opened new opportunities to my future. I therefore highly recommend African Turf Academy to you as they offer you not only confidence and knowledge, but also great opportunities.”
