Hone Your Skills. Lower Your Scores.
Professional golf instruction supported by
unparalleled technology
Each visit to The Linksman Golf Academy provides one-on-one coaching designed to hone your skills, improve your game, and drop your score.
Practicing on your own is great, but how do you know what to practice? With the help of our Pros and advanced technology, you’ll learn the adjustments needed to master your swing, improve your short game, and manage courses of all levels.
Our state-of-the-art, year-round, heated bays are equipped with Trackman’s Launch Monitors, widely regarded as the gold standard in the industry. Instead of relying on a purely visual observation, this technology displayed on 10-foot wide screens offers our Pros detailed insights into each player’s unique swing dynamics and ball flight characteristics, allowing for more informed instruction and instantaneous feedback based on real data points. Seeing their swing broken down frame-by-frame, Linksman Golf Academy students find they are able to make impactful changes to their game with the use of this state-of-the-art technology.

“I’ve seen a remarkable improvement in my golf since starting my work 3 months ago. The instructors are excellent at explaining what is going on in your game and prescribing drills that make sense and help you get better. Can’t recommend enough.”
