Find Golf Vacation Schools That Are Right For You


Need beginner golf instruction? Want advanced golf lessons for course management? Golf vacation schools come in all shapes and sizes.

How do you decide what is right for you? It's simple. Start by asking yourself a few questions.

What is the goal of your golf school vacation?

Think about your golf game. Are you in need of beginner golf instruction? Look for a golf school with low student to instructor ratios and small class sizes.

Do you have a low handicap but your golf game collapses from 150 yards in to the pin? Find a school that focuses on the short game and course management.

What is your level of commitment?

Do you want to spend your entire day taking a golf lesson? Are you planning your vacation around golf school or is golf school only a part of your vacation?

Once you know your goals and commitment level, you can narrow your choices.

Now, it's time to call or email the schools on your short list.

Golf Vacation Schools - What to Expect

Research is key when choosing the right golf school. There are 5-day schools with skills instruction in the morning and course management golf lessons in the afternoon. There are schools that provide 3-hour morning clinics. Some provide free course play, meals, and lodging.

You need to ask a few questions. These will get you started.
  • Do tuition costs cover lodging and meals?
  • What is the teaching philosophy of the school?
  • What are the qualifications of the instructors?
  • What type of practice facilities and golf course is on the golf school location?
  • Is continuing education provided?
  • What is the teacher to student ratio?
  • Is the whole game covered or does the golf school focus on one aspect of the game?
  • Does the school use video and computer technology?
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Quality golf schools will provide answers to any of your concerns. If they don't have an answer, spend your time and money elsewhere.

Choosing a School for Beginner Golf Instruction

Looking for a school that teaches beginner golf instruction? Choose one that focuses on skills instruction and not course play.

Some golf schools specialize
in the short game

This is especially true if you attend a shorter session. Course management skills are much more suited for the low-handicap player.

Make sure the golf vacation school you choose offers the following:
  • 4:1 or smaller student to instructor ratio.
  • Small class sizes.
  • Pairings with students at your skill level.
  • Opportunities to ask questions.
  • Follow-up instruction or help when you return home.

A Sure Way To Not Enjoy Your Learning Experience

Golf vacation schools are not a kick your feet up, grab a good book, drink a Corona beer kind of vacation. You will swing the club a lot. Your body and mind will undergo a lot of stress.

If you want to enjoy your learning experience, you need to prepare yourself. Here's how.

Start conditioning yourself at least a month before your trip. Begin a cardiovascular activity like walking and work your way up to 30 minutes a day. Get to the driving range and start hitting buckets of balls. Finally, follow the right kind of strength and flexibility program.

PGV.com Insider's Tip - Notice I said "the right kind of strength and conditioning program". This is key. The wrong kind of program will ruin your golf swing and can cause injury. Fitness for Golf provides the best golf fitness training from top golf professionals.

Many personal trainers claim to know how to train golfers. This is just not true. Choose a fitness program and a fitness professional that understands the biomechanics of the golf swing. Beware of so-called golf fitness instructors who tell you to improve your golf game you must focus on your core. This is a warning sign of a trainer who knows nothing about golf training.

Make sure the program / instructor first involves a complete golf-specific flexibility assessment and subsequent individualized stretching plan. Also, your program should always follow this progression - flexibility, postural stability, strength, and power.
