At Hal Sutton Golf Academy, we don’t just teach golf—we build golfers. Our mission is to help every player understand why the ball does what it does, not just how to fix it. We combine Tour-proven philosophy, cutting-edge technology, and personalized coaching to unlock your best game.

This isn’t just golf instruction—it’s coaching for long-term growth.

“Although all golfers have their own style, I am a firm believer in sound fundamentals, and the development of good physical and mental practice habits. To improve performance, the students must be able to transfer their skills to the golf course. We must practice like we want to play, which includes both the mental and physical aspects of the game.” – Dee
