Golf
School Info.com, the oldest golf school review site on the net has
released its 2007-2008Top Ten Golf Schools in America list.
2007 Award Recipients
Advantage Golf School
With 16 locations nationwide, we found that Advantage offered the most
personalized (one-to-one student/teacher ratio) as well as the most
customized learning programs of any of the schools we reviewed. Their
locations are at many of the nations top golf resorts.
Butch Harmon School of Golf
Small class sizes,
comprehensive program offerings, all designed by one of golf’s most
respected instructors, Butch Harmon. Unlike many of the other "top
name" instructors, you still have the opportunity to learn with Butch
Harmon himself, however you'll have to reserve quickly: classes fill up fast.
Grand Cypress Academy of Golf
In the heart of
Florida at the luxurious Grand Cypress Resort, top 50 instructor Fred
Griffin and his staff use the latest in technology to help you improve.
The Academy’s state of the art facility includes regulation size
practice holes, a 22 acre practice tee, covered hitting areas and Model
Golf Computerized instruction studio. The depth of the teaching staff
is tremendous with every staff instructor on Golf Digest's top teachers
in Florida list.
Golf University
Golf University makes its
second visit to our list this year, but they are no newcomer to awards
and accolades having been named a Golf Magazine top 25 school as well
as Zagats Best in Golf award. The focus is on small groups (never
exceeding 2 to 1) along with an emphasis on the latest video and
computer learning tools.
Dave Pelz Scoring Game Schools
Short game guru
to the tour elite, Dave Pelz has also perfected a way to teach everyone
the science of the short game. As with other top name professionals,
you aren't likely to have Pelz himself as an instructor, however his
method is taught reliably by his personally trained instructors. Not a
school for beginners, since its focus is only the short game, but a
great opportunity for mid-level and low handicap golfers to move to the
next level.
Pine Needles Learning Center
Instructional
legend and pioneer Peggy Kirk Bell created a golf learning wonderland
in the Pinehurst area. The famous Golfari programs offer women golfers
programs dedicated entirely to their unique needs. In addition to the
women only programs, Pine Needles offers an array of individual and
family programs as well. The newly restored Donald Ross course is
pleasing to purists and beginners alike.
David Leadbetter Golf Academy
Maybe the first
high profile coach of top tour players, David Leadbetter offers his
method based instruction programs at locations around the world. His
Leadbetter-certified instructors all teach his consistent and proven
method. We like the consistency of his program despite the lack of
being able to readily work with David himself.
Roland Stafford Golf Schools
Founded by respected teacher and player Roland Stafford in 1981. With
over 42,000 students, this popular school helps players improve with a
focus on fundamentals simplifies the swing into four areas. The
emphasis on a simpler, easy to understand way to learn is the key to
their success.
The Phil Ritson–Mel Sole Golf School
Offers a
balanced program combining video, practice tee and on-course
instruction. Mel Sole has authored numerous books on the golf swing and
helped thousands improve their games.
