SUPPORTING DREAMS WITH STRONG FOUNDATIONS.

At Edge, we prioritise

personal and performance development.

Like the sound of us?

We've done this before. We'll help them do it too.

We know how much your child has already put into this. Early mornings and endless rounds with quiet determination. It takes talent to get this far. It takes the right support to go further.

At Edge, we see the person before we see the grades.

We look at four key things:

  • Character - Do they have the right mindset to grow?
  • Passion - Are they serious about performance?
  • Work Ethic - Are they willing to do what it takes?
  • Education - It's important, but don’t let it be a barrier - talk to us.

We’ve designed Edge Golf College to give students the best shot at a successful career on Tour, while achieving world-class higher education at the same time. Imagine not having to sacrifice their playing ambitions whilst realising their academic potential.

We’ve helped others do this. The players who arrived unsure have left with confidence. They learned to excel on the course and off it.

We're here to help you and your child build a future that’s focused, flexible, and full of potential.

Email us. Let’s talk through the possibilities.

This isn't school. It's the foundation to their future.

We help your player build their strong foundation.

We understand. They have talent, drive, and a deep love for the game. But you also want to know they're in safe hands - personally, academically, and emotionally.

That's why Edge is built on more than world-class coaching and elite training. It's built on connection, care, and clarity about what comes next.

"We cannot thank the team enough for the care, support and guidance he has received. He's in the right place to reach his potential. Had he taken up the offers to America it could have been disastrous"

Jayne Welfare-Smith - Parent

THE INDIVIDUAL • THE ACADEMIC • THE GOLFER

Every student at Edge is treated as an individual. Our cohorts are intentionally small. We check in regularly and treat every student as a whole person who is a valued member of our community.

We proudly stand by our ethos of recognising the person before the player. Through our psychological focus, we know that when our students learn to strike a good balance between holistic care and study, optimum performance follows.

PERFORMANCE  •  EXCELLENCE  •  HONESTY  •  RELATIONSHIPS  •  TRUST

You want your child to chase their dreams.

You also want them to be okay.

We understand you want the best for them - not just for their career, but for their wellbeing, independence and future. At Edge Golf College, we combine high-level athletic development with experiential learning, designed with their growth as a whole person in mind.

They will...

Graduate with internationally recognised qualifications.

Live and learn in a secure, supportive environment on Portugal's Tróia peninsula.

Receive mentorship from world-class specialists, educators, and pastoral staff.

Be guided towards real-world careers in golf.

Train at Tróia and Dunas, both ranked inside Europe's Top 30 Golf Courses.

“I wanted to teach performance in a way that actually reflects the real world of elite sport. Where mindset, leadership, and self-awareness matter just as much as stats. We don’t just hand out knowledge here, we challenge, stretch, and prepare students to think for themselves. That’s what makes Edge different and that’s why it works.”

Neil Connolly - Founder of Edge Golf College

We've done our job well when your son or daughter is ready to leave us.

They will become self-motivated and able to implement their learned skills from our leadership, performance development, biomechanics and tournament performance modules.

They will understand the importance that nutrition, time management and sleep play in their wider wellbeing picture.

Going home can be a stress test for their newly formed habits and behaviours. With the skills they learn from our specialists, they not only know how to care for themselves, but also why they need to.

They leave us knowing how to manage themself as a player and a person.

Their possibilities are endless.

“At Edge, we see the student before we see the athlete. My role is to make sure they feel seen, heard, and supported, not just coached. Watching a student walk in unsure of themselves and leave with confidence, clarity, and character . . . that’s what I’m most proud of.”

Fiona Connolly - Founder of Edge Golf College

Live and learn in a safe, secure environment. 5-Star comfort in peaceful surroundings.

We know the environment our students live in is of equal importance to you as it is to them, which is why we partner with The Editory By The Sea.

They provide 5-star self-catering accommodation including weekly cleaning and linen services. Students have the comfort you'd hope for with the autonomy to be independent, implementing in a hands-on way what they learn in our comprehensive modules. We know that when young people have the ability to implement what they learn in a real-world way, good habits around sleep and nutrition are embedded effectively.

 

This is the Edge way.
