| Description |
Our goal is to impart the knowledge and confidence you need to play your best golf.
Since 1971, Golf Digest Schools has set the standard for quality golf instruction. Its no-nonsense teaching program, combined with relaxing surroundings at the finest resorts in the country, provide a learning vacation that's second to none. You will be taught by an award-winning staff of professionals comprised of PGA and LPGA Teachers of the Year. Many are ranked among the top 50 in the country and are contributing editors to GOLF DIGEST.
Whether you’re just starting to play or are an accomplished golfer, our programs are designed to fit your individual goals. You will learn how to improve your swing and your game. More important, you’ll discover how to continue to improve. Our teaching method is based on the philosophy, "Good golf is a pursuit through development rather than an endeavor of continued correction."
Instruction is tailored to the unique needs of your game and focuses on every aspect of golf — Full Swing, Chipping, Pitching, Putting, Bunker Play, Mental Preparation and Course Strategy. But the lessons won't end at our top-quality practice areas. We'll show you how to take what you learn on the range to the course. Through the use of ball-flight analysis and hi-tech video, we'll help you understand the tips and techniques that produce the best results for you, and we'll outline specific procedures that will enable you to function as your own coach.
