Grande Vista Golf Club — Attraction in Dr. Phillips

My son and I attended the golf academy here. Both of were struggling beginners, but after the course, our game is totally different. We learned so much about the swing, chipping, putting, and the basics of the game. I came back home and went to play with friends and every one said there is a huge change. We did the three day school which encompassed instructions for four hours each day and then playing the course in the afternoon. The course is a 9 hole executive course - very well maintained and enjoyable. A special shout out to our coach/pro - Scottie B - he was awesome, and I would highly recommend him. He was patient, and not only showed us what to do, but explained the why and the process of how to think about the shots. Highly recommend this place for lessons...

Pros: Nice course. Well-kept and fair. Simple design and not too challenging for vacationing golfers. You can play an iron off every tee if you wanted. Practice facility is super nice. Everyone gets a trackman and they have chipping and putting greens.

Cons: Not walker friendly. Too much distance between some of the holes. Staff looked at me like I was nuts when I said I was walking now I know why. Hole 3 as a par 4 is a bit silly which is why they give you the option to be sane and play it as a par 3. $60 for 9 holes which is mostly par 3 is pricey. I think the course conditions almost offset the sting of the price.

Overall I will go back and did recommend to others that don't have...

I had my first golf lesson here six years ago and this week attended a 3-day golf school. My overall experiences with the golf academy has always been positive. They have an excellent outdoor practice facility using the latest Trackman technology. Their indoor facility includes full swing analysis videos that are posted to the students personal golf academy account. The executive 9-hole course had brown greens this week, but that was due to improvements being made. Lastly, the lessons I had by Don Moyer, PGA Pro, were outstanding! I highly recommend the Grande Vista Golf Academy for all levels of golfers. Hit em...
