ABOUT

Add a subtitle to your text

​​​
The Southwest Florida Golf Academy features some of the best teachers in the game.  ​We believe each person's golf swing is a unique motion, and requires a great deal of individual attention. For this reason, we structure our golf instruction with a low ratio of students to each professional. By controlling class and group lesson size, we give you the opportunity to receive plenty of personal attention.  We want to be sure you understand the changes you need to become the best golfer you can be.  Our instructors are Class "A" PGA Golf Teaching professionals with knowledge and understanding of what needs to happen within the motion of a golf swing.​​​

Our goal is not to reconstruct your golf swing, but more importantly to improve the swing you already have. We will spend a great deal of time working on your swing and your short game areas. The skills you will learn in all areas of the game are sure to make you a more complete and effective golfer.
