About the TOUR Academy

Our Facilities

Our 2,800 square foot instructional facility is adjacent to the newly renovated TPC Stadium Clubhouse and is surrounded by the world-renowned TPC Stadium golf course. This state-of-the-art game improvement facility features indoor hitting bays, a private practice area, a putting and chipping green, practice bunkers and state of the art diagnostic technologies. The facility also includes a comprehensive club fitting area and an outdoor hospitality area that perfectly complements the Southern charm and understated elegance of the new Stadium Clubhouse.

The TOUR Academy TPC Sawgrass has been designed with a variety of unique enhancements to create an unparalleled environment for improving your game while incorporating the natural beauty and warmth that is inherent to Ponte Vedra Beach. The grass practice tees and greens are manicured to PGA TOUR tournament standards allowing you to develop new skills under ideal conditions.

The TOUR Academy TPC Sawgrass also features a comprehensive short game training facility including pitching and chipping areas, practice bunkers and expansive putting greens. This is where we will elevate your skills to new hights while taking your scores to new lows.



Our Technology

Your personal instruction at the TOUR Academy TPC Sawgrass is complemented by the latest teaching technologies including comparative video analysis. This allows us to compare and contrast your swing mechanics on a split screen with many of the best golfers in the world to speed your understanding of how to improve your game.

Each of your videoed sessions will be recorded along with instructional voice-overs to act as an ongoing source for guidance and inspiration after you leave the academy.




Our Philosophy

The instructors at the TOUR Academy believe that a commitment to a strong education in the game's core fundamentals is at the heart of all improvement for our students. Through a comprehensive education, you will leave the academy with the tools necessary to continue to improve your game long after your time with us. This is a direct result of the detailed information we provide to you in our four Cornerstones of Improvement:

  • Swing Instruction
  • Club fitting
  • Fitness 
  • Mental Coaching

These cornerstones for all of our programs are directly supported by and based on the following attributes:

  • How the best players in the world perform on the PGA TOUR.
  • The irrefutable laws of physics and geometry.
  • The biomechanical implications of golf-specific motion.

Our goal is to continue to learn from the best players in the world who compete every week on the PGA TOUR. These players are the best at what they do and their methods will support the techniques promoted in our instructional programs. These techniques will also be supported by the laws of physics and geometry and will be proven to be biomechanically sound.

Our instructors deliver this information through a “building block approach" that is complete, easy to understand and builds upon itself in a logical progression. Once you have been given these building blocks you will have a template that will allow you to reach your potential as a golfer.
