Golf lessons in Dublin

Covid-19 update

The government has decided that, as of midnight on Wednesday 21st of October, all of Ireland will be placed on Level 5 of the plan for living with COVID.

What does this mean for golf lessons at the golf academy?
Unfortunately we have to close for the duration of the level 5 lockdown. A six week period.

Should there be any changes in the government regulations in relation to the closure of the golf academy I will update this message.

When can I book in for my next golf lesson?

Shortly before we exit level 5 we will update this page to allow online booking for lessons that will begin once level 5 is lifted.

I look forward to resuming lessons once level 5 is lifted.

I wish you and your families good health.

Stay safe.

It has been great working with Barry over the last year. I went from 22 handicap down to 17 with Barry's help. He helps by sending videos of your swing to him and he gives feedback... between lessons. Can't wait to get down a couple of more shots with his help. Cheers Barry!read more

Got 5 lessons with Barry and must say he really improved my golf game from the off, from driving to putting, Barry has an in-dept knowledge of the game and communicates this very well,... to help improve whatever facets of the game you need help with.

I've had six lessons with Barry now and can say he's the best coach I've worked with. I'm relatively new to the game but I've left every 30 minute lesson with Barry feeling like I've... improved. Most importantly, I always leave feeling like I have the tools and the understanding I need to continue working and improving by myself at the driving range or in my garden.He makes things clear and simple when he's explaining them, and the recordings are dead handy to go back and reference.Very happy, and excited to watch the handicap tumble.read more

Just finished 5 lesson programme with Barry. Great coach and really enthusiastic about improving my golf game. Lessons are nice and relaxed without information overload. Video feedback... is brilliant so you have a record of each lesson. Barry also encourages students to send video of golf swing which he comments on straight away in his usual positive and energetic way. Highly recommend.read more

I purchased a 5 lesson voucher from Barry and found every session of great value. All drills were broken down and communicated clearly. You could also send Barry a WhatsApp video of you... at the driving range and he would review and get back to you quickly. I would highly recommend Barry.read more

I received a voucher for 5 lessons with Barry and I would highly recommend him for anyone considering golf lessons. He is friendly, professional and has a great way of simplifying the... golf swing.

I have just completed a short series of lessons with Barry Power which I found to be very helpful in identifying faults with my driver. Barry uses video analysis to highlight issues and... this medium is of great benefit in understanding your faults. Barry is a good communicator and explains things clearly and simply.

Had my first 5 lessons with barry and I could not recommend him highly enough he has changed my grip and my stance all for the better and you can see how it is been changed when it is... been compared to the professionals on the screen in front of you so you can see before and after shots of what you have changed. also he sends them over to you so you can look back on what you need to keep practicing while on the range or the golf course.If I had any issue it would be I preferred to do hour lessons each time as I found half hour was not long enough.Will be booking more lessons very shortly.Thanks again Barry.Gary Burkeread more

Very happy with the golf lessons I have just finished with Barry. I had not picked up a golf club in about 10 years and Barry's encouragement from the first lesson was great. The video... analysis proved very useful as it enabled me to see how each element of the golf swing worked for me.read more

I have been with Barry now for a number of years and I find myself still returning each year in order to refresh and revise what we have done before. Barry's approach to tuition is very... personal and friendly and he is always available social media to give direction when asked. His knowledge of the game of golf is excellent and he himself is a very genuine, friendly and polite gentleman. I would recommend Barry to anyone looking to improve their golf game or in fact learn the fundamentals of the game.read more

I’ve only had 2 hours with Barry and he’s helped me enormously with simple guidance and video analysis. The 2 hours have been supplemented with feedback via Wattsapp videos which have... really kept me on track - and he’s happy to get plenty! I have a disastrous block in me - largely with a driver - which I now know how to resolve with 2 simple thoughts. It’s given me a clear practice strategy and light at the end of the tunnel. Cheersread more

I have had 5 sessions with Barry and I have to say he is the best golf pro I've ever had. He is very good at explaining areas of improvement in a simple and clear way. What impressed me... most with Golf Pro Lessons with Barry is that he uses video from different angles and he sends you everything after with a voiceover! You can also send him a video after the lesson and he gives you feedback for free on the video. Highly recommend this!read more

21:50 01 Aug 19

Barry makes the lesson easy to understand, to enhance changes to your swing. The before and after recording of the swing, which is sent to your mobile device, makes it easy to refresh... his instructions and easy to spot any return of bad habits. I highly recommend Barry.read more

15:27 29 Jul 19

Barry boasts both excellent expertise in the correct swing and also exceptional technology that allows you to view your swing in slow motion and against the swings of other... professionals. I consistently fade/slice the ball and finally bit the bullet to get some lessons. Within minutes of viewing my swing, Barry pointed out a few things I needed to tweak and work on and I've been going back for about a year now doing a lesson every 5 or 6 weeks. My handicap has dropped 6 shots in the year but the main thing is my driving is both straighter and further in distance which is all I could have asked for! To add to this, he's a great guy and does plenty of seasonal deals so it's well worth taking the leap!read more

14:11 25 Jul 19

I picked up the game of golf almost 2 years ago and was quickly hooked but over the course of the last year, a lot of bad habits were starting to creep in which I didn’t know how to fix.... I was going backwards and getting a bit disillusioned with it. Enter Barry!I received a gift voucher for lessons with Barry and from the very first lesson, I started seeing improvements. Midway through the lessons I was back playing to my handicap and gaining a bit of confidence. Barry made small changes at every lesson and explained the mechanics of the golf swing in simple terms using video analysis of my swing in comparison to top professional golfers! I found this aspect of Barry’s lessons to be really helpful and I think this is where he differs from other golfing instructors, he encourages you to send videos of your swing in between lessons and takes the time to send feedback. This allowed me to see what I was doing wrong and how to make the necessary changes.I would highly recommend Barry to beginners or anyone looking to improve their game. His lessons are delivered in a very professional yet relaxed atmosphere which is definitely beneficial to a relatively newbie golfer like myself!I will be continuing my lessons with Barry and aim to check out the short game clinics on offer over the summer, in the hope to shave a few shots off my handicap this season 🤞read more

When my friend and I were planning our trip to Ireland, we had heard that golf was big there. We decided we wanted to take our very first golf lesson. A friend recommended Barry Power... golf Academy. My friend was not excited going to this lesson. Barry Power was fabulous!!! He had incredible patience with us (2 ladies who had never golfed before) and a very caring nature. The before and after videos he provided to us from our lesson will be great help when returning home! Barry Power inspired my friend and I to research driving ranges back home to continue practicing what he taught us!! He also went out of his way to help me with questions I had about places in Ireland that had nothing to do with golf! I highly recommend Barry golf!!!!read more

Barry Power has been an inspiration. The video analysis and instant feedback has had a huge impact on my game, not to mention his clear (uncomplicated) methods of teaching.

I've been to Barry for a few lessons and each time he was able to identify the problems and give me ideas to work on. My handicap come down from 7 to 4 and I put that down to my driving... improving after Barry showed me what I was doing wrong.

When I first went to Barry I was struggling with my iron shots, very inconsistent. Barry highlighted the issues I had with my posture, grip and swing. Over a few sessions he completely... changed my game with just a few minor tweaks. Barry also provides support between sessions; I would send him videos of my swing and he would advise me on where I was going wrong but also highlighting the good elements of my swing. He provides a really professional service with great analysis on the V1 software and the super slow motion camera. I will continue to check in with Barry to ensure my game keeps improving. I would recommend Barry to anyone who feels the need to improve their game.read more

Took up golf in October and after hearing great things about Barry I booked myself some lessons and have to say it was the best money I have spent ahead of clubs or any equipment. Being... able to call to see Barry with a million questions in the first few months was golden. It helped me to practice without any doubts in my head and have a clear direction. Won my first 18 hole last week which wouldn’t of happened without his guidance also. I will continue to travel from Offaly to see Barry. I can’t recommend him enough 🏌🏼‍♂️🏆🏌🏼‍♂️read more

Barry... had terrific insights into my swing and used video expertly to show me how to improve.

Hi all, I am 50 now. I used to play golf off 14 when I was younger without worries. I stopped playing because of family and injury. Tried a few times to go back playing but the game had... deserted me. I had the yips in chipping and putting which had the knock on effect on the rest of my game. I was about to give up and sell the clubs. Family bought me lessons recently with Barry and things changed immediately. Assessed me fully and promised me we'd fix it together. We began with the chipping 3 lessons later and plenty of practice the difference was immediate. It took shots off my score and increased my confidence. Barry recommended the putting clinic. The best 60 EUR I ever spent. Again shots off my round. One lesson each on my iron's and driver and the confidence is back. The use of the video recording and WhatsApp group is brilliant. He keeps an eye on you. On a personal level he's a genuine nice guy. Makes you believe in yourself. Extremely patient and obviously knowledgeable. I can only highly recommend Barry. Cheers mate.read more

Have been with Barry in the past but after recovering from a few years of back problems & playing badly and my handicap going out to 14, I went to Barry about 5 weeks ago to try rebuild... my swing. Barry asked me what competitions were coming up and I said The Captains was the next big one. We jokingly agreed that was the target to be ready for. After a few small adjustments to grip & swing etc I quickly recovered my lost distance and round by round improved accuracy. Barry also gave me some good simple swing thoughts. Nothing complicated. 2 weeks ago in qualifying I had my best score for about 10 years and last week I won the Captains Prize and am down to 12. I now believe I will be back to a 9 handicap this year. Without Barry’s simple advice (and a littke practice) my handicap would be going the other way. Another key factor is Barry keeps in touch after lessons and asks when I’m playing and then often checks in to see how it went and then texts a few pointers to fix any issues. I’m enjoying the game once again:) Geoff.read more

I came to Barry as a complete beginner, unable to hit a ball. From the outset Barry made me feel at ease. He started me off with a 7-iron and from there we have worked on all aspects of... my game. I have no hesitation in recommending Barry to golfers of all levels.read more

I am a lady of "senior" years and have just had lessons with Barry. He is an extremely pleasant and patient teacher. There is a definite improvement in my ball striking and distance.... The fact that you can book a lesson on line and also send him a "what's app" of your swing between lessons so he can monitor your progress is a great asset. I would highly recommend him.read more

First came across Barry Power when starting out with my first set of clubs and got sorted then when he opened up at Drynam got some lessons as a gift and have been back & forth over the... years. Has helped my game no end and always keen on progress and following up. Most recently after bringing the son along to a session we've put him in for his own sessions. Knowledgeable guy and great to work with and watch how he operates the session s and with a tweak here & there with a video to review and practise against sure it's a win win. Having the videos to fall back on with instructions is so beneficial and always to hand. Fair to say Barry takes a genuine interest with you and always available to help. Very friendly, approachable and genuine guy would highly recommend to any golfer looking to improve their game.read more

I came to Barry with what I believed was an incurable slice, the more I tried to correct it the worse it became. Barry was extremely positive that we could cure it but I had my doubts.... Within a few lessons I began to see progress, the video's are a great help as they give you a visual aid to what you are doing wrong and you can refer back to them as often as you want. Thanks to Barry my slice is now a thing of the past which is pretty unbelievable. ........Thanks Barry!read more

Barry Power is currently my 8 year old son's instructor. Having no experience in golf personally, Barry was recommended to me by a golfer at a local driving range as I was seeking... professional guidance for my son. After the first lesson there was a noticeable difference in the standard of my son's game and he has since scored and performed to a higher standard in junior golfing competitions. Barry is very approachable, professional and knowledgeable about the game. Its very common that Barry will text to see how we are progressing with the techniques taught in the previous lesson and do we need any further assistance. He shows a great interest in his students and strives to see them progress. He is very fairly priced and has some excellent offers available. If yourself or your child are interested in improving your game or wishing to take up golf Barry Power is highly recommendread more

I came to Barry in January for a series of lessons. Having been for a lesson here and there with different people before, i still hadnt seen an improvement.Barry began on video to show... me some changes i should make. I began seeing improvement and consistency from lesson 1.Simple and easy to understand Barry also recommends putting your own swing on video and send it to him, so he can point out certain things over the phone.He is driven by seeing improvement in people and im certainly glad ive met him.Thanks so much again Barryread more

Two lessons in and I'm already seeing great progress. Barry explains things in an easy-to-understand way and ties the ideas in really well with the video analysis. I find the techniques... are to the point and effective and are all geared towards swinging like the pros.read more

I was at wits end and contemplating giving up golf when I decided to give golf lessons one more go as a last resort. My previous experience with golf lessons wasn't good as I felt I was... as wise after each lesson as I was at the start.Well Barry changed all of that. I now understand the basics of my golf swing. This is due in no small part to Barry's use of video technology. And the end result is I now have confidence that I will make a good connection every time.While my new adventure is a work in progress I am convinced that I will make inroads on my handicap. Practice is still required but I now know what it is I have to work on. Hitting buckets of balls aimlessly is now a thing of the past.Finally I must mention that the facility itself is by far the best I have ever been to.Highly recommended.read more

Being new to the game, Barry got me started fairly quickly. My swing and set up improved consistently over time.The video lesson he runs are extremely beneficial as Barry is able to... identify the key issues and address them on the spot.Immediately I start hitting better shots and then keep working by myself using the video I get emailed on my mobile phone.Would highly recommend to anyone looking to correct recurring problems or to any new starters.read more

I have had many lessons over many but couldn't manage to shift off 36 handicap. After about 10 years of struggling I got a voucher for some video lessons from Barry and honestly haven't... looked back since. When he first compared my swing to Tiger Woods I was more than concerned that he might not be the teacher for me but it all made sense and actually seeing what I was doing wrong was fantastic. I lost 7 shots last year alone. I am currently playing off 25 with a new target of 18. I have also had putting and pitching lessons from Barry and can't recommend him highly enough.read more

Barry has the video lesson down to a fine art.The video reveals exactly what the swing is doing or not doing and comparing them with pro golfers it allows you to see what you should be... working on. He sends the video to your email and you can review the lesson at your leisure when you get home.I like the instant feedback that you receive from the video and it allows you to see the progress over a number of lessons.read more

I first went to Barry 3 years ago as a 21 handicapper. I am now playing off 11. This was down to Barrys non complicated way of explaining the mechanics of the golf swing. Once you... practice what Barry teaches you and you give it a bit of time to work you will see your handicap come down in no time at all.The putting lesson is definitely worth giving a shot aswell,read more

I have taken a series of lessons with Barry and have found them to be really useful. Barry isn't pushing miracle cures but he has identified key faults, shown me the undeniable evidence... of these faults and outlined clear steps and drills to address them. From where I am starting there is still much work to do, but with the clear analysis and guidance I am happy that at last I am practising with purpose rather than frustrating myself. I am seeing clear improvement and even when I attempt to over-complicate things myself Barry has simplified and clarified what needs to be done. I would happily recommend Barry.read more

Excellent golf instructor. Very thorough and attentive. Both my son and myself have been seeing Barry over the last 12 months and our games have improved dramatically.

I've been getting lessons from Barry for 4 years now. He has helped me get my handicap down from 35 to 6.Barry has helped me understand various aspects of my grip, stance, posture and... swing and also helped me with problem solving in my own practice and in play. I find Barry's coaching via video analysis is a great resource to refer to also.Barry has been instrumental in my development at golf and he is a great teacher.read more

Barry certainly improved my golf game, he was able to break down my swing and show me exactly what I was doing wrong.

I've been attending Barry for several years now as a golf pro. Having attended several before, I have found Barry to be the best by far. He has an ability to simplify the solutions to... the swing. There may be 4 or 5 things that need work but he broke these into simple, simple steps that make sense. They are checks that you can make every time you address the ball. Having the material recorded and emailed to the phone is excellent. A two minute drill to look at sitting in the car before you go out, you just can't beat it.Barry also runs occasional clinics which, on an actual golf course means that you're in a fully live venue. Being taught on a tight lie, in a bunker or on an actual putting green is all the simulation that you need.Since attending I've lost six shots. There's one good reason for it.I can't recommend Barry enough.I'm more than happy to keep going at have him correcting things and advising as we go.read more

I bought a voucher for myself to touch up on my golf swing earlier in the year. Looking at Barry's portfolio I was impressed and enthusiastic about my lesson. When arriving I felt barry... was disengaged and felt he didn't care about my individual golf game. I hit a few balls and barry recorded me, then he took my swing and compared it with Rory McIlroys swing as if to show what I was doing wrong. After the video analysis i was told to bring my club high in my back swing and hit a few balls. He then filmed me again, i hit 9 terrible shots and connected ok with the 10th. Barry filming the entire time chose my one good shot to compare as an after video to compare with my before. Barry was constantly talking into his computer and i felt like i was watching a youtube instructional video. This was 18 minutes into my 30 minute paid lesson I was then told that I had improved and the lesson ended. My golf game was no better than when I entered that day and I have since chosen to not return. I feel with more engagement and personal attention to the student it would have been marginally better. just because there is Tech does not mean that someone is a good teacher.read more
