IMG Opens New Academy At Bled Golf Course In Slovenia

A new golf academy opened at Bled Golf Course in Slovenia, an IMG-affiliated property. The new academy, managed by a team of PGA golf professionals, features the latest golf tuition technology. The new academy features two swing instruction studios, eight covered practice bays, a dedicated short game area, and an 18-hole practice putting green that offers both flat and sloping putting surfaces, ideal for those looking to practice reading greens and distance control. The investment comes on the back of the major renovation that is currently taking place at Bled Golf Course, part of an ongoing plan to grow golf in the region. The King’s Course at Bled is Slovenia’s oldest golf course. The course has recently undergone a full renovation. Along with the new academy, there is also the King’s Clubhouse that houses accommodation, restaurant, locker rooms and a golf professional shop (IMG).
