Our Instructors

Cody MacLeod

I was born and raised in Peterborough Ontario. While I always enjoyed playing golf, it wasn’t until after being a Stay At Home Dad for 4 years that I decided to get into the industry.

I took on the role of Assistant Professional at Bellmere Winds Golf Resort this past year and haven’t looked back. After “ Playing In “ and officially becoming a PGA of Canada Member.  I quickly knew that I wanted to get into instructing and helping others with their game. I’ve currently taken The Instructor for Beginners course through the PGA and have plans to complete my Intermediate Instructors course in November.

I’m looking forward to helping Beginner golfers get into the game and intermediate golfers work out the kinks.

If you’re looking for an Instructor to introduce you to the basics and furthermore improve your golf swing, I’d love to hear you.

I’m an easygoing Instructor, that takes pride in offering a non-judgemental space with a genuine passion for helping others find the fun in golf.
