Why Try to Learn on the Driving Range When the Game is Played on the Course?

At Ben Sutton Golf School, we have the ideal environment to improve your game and lower your handicap on our nine-hole Teaching Facility dedicated solely to golf instruction. None of your golf lessons will be on a driving range. All of our 6-,4-, 3- and 2-day golf schools include golf instruction in actual playing conditions and situations. During your Ben Sutton golf lessons, you'll hit real shots from real tees, fairways, rough bunkers, over and around water, to real greens. Learn more on how our unique facilities will improve every part of your game from tee to green.

Not only will we help you with your game, we can also help you with your equipment. Ben Sutton is honored to be an authorized Optifit Club Fitting Center for Callaway golf clubs.

Putting

Our 12,000 square foot Tif-Eagle putting green will test your putting prowess. You will learn and improve the mechanics and techniques needed to accurately read and gage the speed of different greens. You will learn the secrets of making those 3 and 4 foot putts that can really make the difference between a good and a great day.

Pitching

Pitch shots vary in distance from 10 to 50 yards. These shots vary in difficulty from easy little pitches with room to run the ball back to the hole to those very tricky flop shots over a bunker to a tight pin. When you add in the variety of hitting from fairways, rough, off of and over mounds, water and bunkers, you'll quickly realize that you will be prepared for any situation.

Bunkers & Traps

You'll experience all the fear that bunkers and traps have to offer. Deep, shallow, fairway and greenside. You will also encounter uphill, downhill and side hill lies. And, let's not forget about the one foot in the bunker and one foot out and everyone's favorite, the "fried egg". As we said, real conditions and situations.

Irons & Fairway Woods

The short to mid length areas offer you the ability to improve the quality of your 50 to 150 yard shots. These shots vary from fairway to rough to uphill, downhill and side hill lies. We want you to feel comfortable in any situation.

Tee Shot and Long Irons

Getting off to a good start on any hole leads to more fun and lower scores. As the old saying goes, "the woods are filled with long hitters." What most people don't understand is that the driver and long iron swing is the same as the wedge and 7 iron swing, it's just with a longer and less lofted club. At Ben Sutton, we'll work to make sure that your swing works through your complete set of clubs.

Swing Analysis Studio

Whoever coined the phase, "the camera doesn't lie," must have been getting a computerized video swing analysis at Ben Sutton. Whether your swing problems start with your setup, during takeaway or the downswing our V-1 Digital Coaching System, the same one that is used by many of the leading LPGA and PGA tournament players, will help to identify the flaws that can result in higher scores and inconsistency.

Not only do we pinpoint flaws, we put you side-by-side with many of the top LPGA and PGA touring professionals that match up to your body type and build. You'll be able to see how their swing matches up to their body type. After your session in the studio, it will become crystal clear what you need to work on.
