How to play better golf.

Whether you're a scratch golfer or just starting out, you can always improve your game. For nearly 30 years, the Original Golf School has helped golfers to play better, by respecting what you already do well. Our proven program builds on your strengths, and turns your liabilities into assets.

IF YOU'RE A BEGINNER... you'll learn basic rules and etiquette along with the fundamentals of developing your swing and maneuvering the ball. You'll quickly become a competent player, comfortable on the course and with the flow of play.

IF YOU'RE A RECREATIONAL GOLFER... you'll improve your swing and fix errors in your stance, swing, and play. You'll also learn how to analyze your strengths and weaknesses, so you can continue to build a better game when you're out there on your own.

IF YOU'RE AN EXPERIENCED GOLFER... you'll learn how to manage a course, perfect your swing, and adjust to the nuances of the game, course, and conditions. You'll also learn how to think strategically and shave points off your score.

Plus, you and your family can combine learning with relaxing, fine dining, swimming, boating, manatee watching, fishing, shopping, tennis, and a variety of other vacation activities available at our resorts.


History

About Us

The Original Golf School was one of the first golf schools in the United States. Over the years we have served as a model for hundreds of other schools, but no other school can match our success. Since 1978 we have graduated more than 85,000 students. Since opening day in June 1978, The Original Golf School has been under the direction of PGA Professional Jay Morelli. During the past 28 years we have learned a thing or two about golf instruction and helping our guests get more enjoyment out of the game of golf. During those years we have developed our proprietary teaching system: The Accelerated Golf Method.


What Sets us Apart

Continuous improvement over the life of your game

The Original Golf School brings together several components critical to learning. You'll not only improve while you're here, but you'll be able to keep improving every time you play.


4-to-1 Student-to-Pro Ratio

Learning requires a balance of advice and practice. Our low student-to-pro ratio ensures you get personalized instruction along with time to work with new methods, learn from other students, and try things over and over until you understand what you're doing wrong and what you're doing right.


On Course Instruction

You will be able to play on the golf course with a real pro golfer during your instruction.


Experience

Our instructors are the most experienced staff in the golf school business.


Personalized Videotape Analysis

Each student is taped individually and their swing is analyzed featuring slow motion, stop action, and frame by frame with your pro, so you can completely understand your swing dynamics. The video is then yours to keep for future reference.


The Accelerated Golf Method

Our trademarked teaching method starts you close to the hole, so you can develop control before adding power. We emphasize incorporating the big muscles of your body into your swing to improve balance and create a strong foundation.
