About Scott

PGA Professional, St Andrews raised, with a genuine love of helping golfers improve — at every level.

Scott Spence is a PGA Professional and the Head Teaching Professional at Kooindah Waters Golf Club on the Central Coast. A dual member of the PGA of Australia and the PGA of Great Britain & Ireland, he grew up in and around the home of golf — the St Andrews Links in Scotland — which gave him a rich golfing upbringing and a wealth of experience across more than 20 years in the game.

In 2019 he was named winner of the Jack Newton Junior Development Program of the Year — one of the proudest achievements of his career. Whether you're picking up a club for the first time or chasing a single-figure handicap, you'll be coached by someone who has seen the game at every level and genuinely loves helping golfers get better.

Why Kooindah Waters

Most teaching pros have a bay and a mat. You'll be coached on a Top 100 Australian course with a full practice facility.

🏆

Top 100 Australian course

Ranked among the Top 100 Public Access Courses in Australia. Designed by Craig Parry and Ross Watson — a genuine championship layout that challenges every level.

Full practice facility

Putting green, chipping green, practice bunker, short-game area and warm-up nets — everything needed for a complete short game session without leaving the facility.

🏌️

On-course lessons

Playing lessons on Kooindah's 18 holes are the fastest route to lower scores — real decisions, real pressure, real improvement. Something a practice bay simply can't offer.

🎯

Mark Churcher Driving Range

The Mark Churcher Driving Range is a full-length range just 5 minutes from the course — ideal for swing work and longer session formats. Indoor Teaching Studio with Foresight Launch Monitor Technology

🍽️

Resort facilities

The attached Mercure resort has a restaurant, bar, pool and accommodation — perfect for a full golf day with lunch or a corporate coaching event.

📍

Central Coast location

Pollock Ave, Wyong NSW — 90 minutes north of Sydney, 60 minutes from Newcastle. Easy access from across the Central Coast.

Common questions

FAQ

Do I need to be a Kooindah Waters member to book a lesson?
No — lessons are open to everyone. You do not need to be a member of the club. All bookings are made online through Scott’s CoachNow booking page, whether you are a member or a visitor.
What is the difference between a standard lesson and a playing lesson?
A standard lesson takes place at the practice facility. A playing lesson takes place on the actual golf course, playing 9 holes together. Playing lessons focus on course management, decision-making and performing under real conditions — areas a practice facility cannot replicate. Most golfers who try a playing lesson say it was the most useful lesson they have had.
What age can juniors start coaching?
Junior sessions are suitable from age 7. Younger children can be accommodated in a parent-and-child format — get in touch to discuss what is suitable for your child.
Do I need my own clubs?
For beginner and junior sessions, loaner clubs can be arranged — just let us know when booking. For all other lessons, having your own clubs is recommended so coaching is calibrated to the equipment you actually play with.
How do I book and pay?
All bookings are made online through Scott’s CoachNow booking page, which handles scheduling, payment and lesson delivery in one place. For group and junior clinics, contact Scott directly to arrange group bookings.
Do you offer corporate golf days and group coaching events?
Yes — corporate coaching clinics, team golf days and group skill sessions are available at Kooindah. The resort's conference and dining facilities make it an ideal full-day corporate experience. Get in touch to discuss formats and pricing.
