Join our 'Golf Academy
Welcome to the ‘Golf Academy’ page of Riverside Golf Zagreb. This platform is designed for enthusiasts who want to try or learn to play golf, as well as those looking to refine their game.
We believe that, like many before you, you’ll fall in love with this wonderful sport and enjoy the natural oasis in a pleasant environment and friendly competition.
Golf is a sport for all ages. Unlike many other sports, you can take up golf regardless of your physical predispositions or previous experience in sports. The only thing that matters is your desire. Golf can be a game you enjoy both alone and in company. Unlike other sports, golf’s advantage lies in adapting the pace of play to the skills and abilities of the player. It’s a sport where better players can play with weaker ones without affecting the outcome of their game, which isn’t possible in other sports.
We invite you to sign up for one of the offered courses described below through the provided form or contact us if you have any questions about golf and the game itself.”
How to Become a Golfer:
Enroll in one of our golf schools. You can choose between group golf schools or individual lessons.
During the golf school, familiarize yourself with playing on the course.
Practice regularly on your own and follow the recommendations of your instructor.
Take the exam to obtain the Playing Permit, giving you the opportunity for further development in golf by using the courses – the Executive Course and the Championship Course.
Children’s Golf School
The golf school for children is intended for kids aged 10 to 14.
Starting Young Golfer’s School – “Play Golf”
- Duration: 12 hours (6 weeks – twice a week for 50 minutes each)
- Pre-arranged fixed schedules based on practice facility availability on weekends and after 3:00 PM on weekdays

During the school, students will learn the basics of golf, including both long and short game techniques. They will also get an overview of playing golf on the course, with an emphasis on ethics and behavior rules on and off the golf course.
Engaging in golf for children and youth also influences the development of self-respect, respect for others and the environment, the ability to maintain a positive attitude towards oneself regardless of the outcome/result in a given activity, setting personal goals, developing time management skills for a specific task, and most importantly – it can help build a better attitude towards failure and overcoming life challenges.
