Our practice facility is one of the largest in the West including 200 yards of full swing stations off of natural grass that is open nearly every day of the year. For days when the natural grass tee is not available, there are 36 artificial turf stations for use. There is also a fairway bunker adjacent to the full swing stations for practice. 2 short game greens are also present providing practice for uneven lies, greenside bunkers and longer pitches and chips.
Instruction
Our instruction philosophy revolves around each individual student. We believe in teaching a golf SWING to each student that will maximize their individual ability level. Lessons have 3 goals in the following order.
- Have Fun
- Learn Something New
- Apply Techniques for Better Results
Each instructor has a distinct style of teaching and plenty of instruction experience.
Golf Schools & Clinics
Golf schools & clinics can be customized for any group or individual. We do ask for at least 2 weeks advance notice in most cases. Fees for clinics and schools are on a negotiable basis determined by the needs of the group / individual.
