So you want to learn to play golf or improve your game? You’re probably looking
for a great place with a great course and seasoned pros who will have you on the
course in no time or will improve you game to the point that you can play with
the “best of them” (or at least not embarrass yourself by missing the ball on
the tee-off or hitting every sand trap on the way to the 18th hole).

If
you really want to learn to play golf, Arizona is one of the best places to be.
Arizona has weather that allows you to play almost every day all year round and
has some of the best courses and instruction programs in the country. Five of
the top golf schools are:

• Executive Golf Schools –
Located in Scottsdale, and Tucson. Teaches exclusively with a one to one and two
to one student to instructor ratio. They state: “We don’t believe in a specific
methodology at our schools. People have too many variables relating to size,
shape, flexibility and desire for one method to work effectively. We do stress
building a fundamentally sound foundation for your game which allows you to
progress faster and to enjoy the game more. Our goal is to help you play better
and to understand why.”

• John Dahl Golf – John Dahl is a 2009 and
eight-time Golf Magazine top 100 golf teacher. Private one-on-one instruction,
group and playing lessons are available in the Phoenix and Scottsdale area.

an investment in John Dahl. An investment in someone who has groomed numerous
young golfers into collegiate athletes, and has helped thousands improve their
game.

• Phoenix Golf Academy of America – Phoenix opened in early
1996, expanded to a new campus in early 2006. The Chandler, Arizona campus is
truly a complete facility inclusive of classroom, computer lab, club repair lab,
library, lounge, and student services. The campus has a state-of-the-art indoor
golf center for instruction and video analysis. Students are able to play and
practice at area facilities.

and it certainly doesn’t lack in the number, variety or quality of golf courses.
