What It Is

Elite Golf Online (EGS) is a comprehensive online golf training platform created by the coaching team at Elite Golf Schools. Through structured video courses, personalized swing analysis, and ongoing coach interaction, it aims to help golfers break through plateaus and improve their scores—at a price it claims is lower than a single in-person private lesson.

Key Dimensions

• Course Coverage: Focused on golf instruction, covering a full range of skills including the full swing, short game, putting, mental game, and course strategy.
• Delivery Format: Uses a hybrid model of “recorded lessons + live sessions + 1-on-1 video analysis.” The platform offers 400+ on-demand recorded lessons; Pro members can join weekly live Q&A sessions; and the core feature is 1-on-1 swing video analysis, where students upload videos and receive personalized feedback and targeted drills from a coach within 72 hours.
• Instructor / Organization Background: Strong coaching credentials. The team includes Class A PGA members, certified PGA professionals, and coaches with experience working with PGA Tour players. Founder Riley Andrews’ teaching system is well regarded by both professional and amateur golfers.
• Certification / Certificates: The platform does not mention issuing completion certificates to students, but the coaches themselves hold authoritative credentials such as PGA certifications.
• Teaching Language: Taught entirely in English.
• Best For: Suitable for all levels, from complete beginners to professional players. Beginners can build a solid foundation, while more advanced golfers can work on breaking scoring barriers, such as through a “break 90” masterclass.

Pricing

The platform uses a subscription model with two tiers. The Plus plan costs the equivalent of $15/month when billed annually and includes all masterclasses plus the 400+ video library. The Pro plan costs the equivalent of $39/month when billed annually and unlocks the core features: “unlimited swing analysis” and “weekly live interaction.” Both plans include a 7-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Compared with in-person private coaching that often costs hundreds of dollars per lesson, the Pro plan offers strong value for money.

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Highly qualified coaches and fast feedback within 72 hours; the Pro plan’s 1-on-1 video analysis directly addresses individual swing issues; the curriculum is well structured and helps users avoid unfocused practice.
• Cons: The Plus plan lacks interaction and guidance, making it feel more like a standard video library; online coaching cannot fully replace the real-time tactile and spatial feedback of in-person lessons; the all-English environment may be a barrier for some Chinese users.

Who It’s For

Golfers who want systematic improvement and have a degree of self-discipline, especially players who are limited by time or location and cannot regularly access high-quality in-person PGA coaching, as well as golfers who want to maintain their training routine during the winter.

Access from China

Access to the official website and app from China is unclear. Overseas independent sites like this can usually be accessed directly, but video loading speeds may vary depending on the network environment. Payment is likely to rely on international credit cards such as Visa or Mastercard, and domestic Chinese payment methods may not be supported. If there are access or payment issues, users may consider using a proxy or asking overseas friends or family to help with payment. Alternatives include domestic golf instruction platforms or international competitors such as Skillest.
