About TOURAcademy at TPC Scottsdale

Facility Description

The TOURAcademy TPC Scottsdale opened to the public in 2007. With its combination of an excellent teaching staff and unmatched location in the Sonoran Desert this facility has long been a popular learning destination to members of TPC Network clubs from around the country.

Contrasting the intensity of the Academy's training regiment, the surrounding desert offers students the opportunity to experience the best of what this unique locale has to offer, whether it is five-star dining in downtown Scottsdale or an evening spent relaxing at the Willow Stream Spa after a long day at golf school.

Our Technology

Your personal instruction at the TOURAcademy TPC Scottsdale is complemented by the latest teaching technologies including V1 video analysis.

V1 video analysis allows our instruction staff to diagnose your swing from multiple camera angles as well as compare and contrast your swing mechanics on a split screen with many of the best golfers in the world. Each instructional experience will be recorded with instructional voice-overs and either copied to a CD or sent to your own personal on-line account. These resources are great for long term progression and provide inspiration after you leave the academy.

Instruction Staff

Each of our TOURAcademy instructors is a carefully selected career teaching professional who share a refreshing, effective and proven approach to the art of successful golf instruction.

All of our instructors are certified to the exacting standards of the TOURAcademy brand. Certification requires a commitment to the core values that define the TOUR Academies and a demonstrated level of expertise to the four cornerstones of improvement:

  • Full swing, Short game and On-course Instruction
  • Club-Fitting
  • Fitness
  • Mental Conditioning

The TOURAcademy approach requires all instructors to adhere to a personable, straight-forward teaching style of applying the golf's accepted fundamentals and a positive mental approach to the game. Our expert staff will:

  • Help you develop a game plan that will lead to more confidence on the golf course. This game plan will focus on the specific areas of improvement whether it’s full swing, short game or on-course instruction. Whether it’s adding more distance to your drives, improving accuracy of approach shots or saving shots around the greens – we can help.
  • Use the latest and greatest in golf technology. These tools will enhance the learning environment and provide all of the necessary data to improve anyone’s game. When combining the world of visual learning with the appropriate auditory and feel, each educational experience will be maximized.
  • Teach you the ball flight laws so you will be able to recognize your own swing flaws as they occur and make the necessary corrections. An individualized practice routine will be established so you can focus on how you can improve your swing fundamentals after returning home.
  • Enhance your short game feel by teaching you the time-tested mechanics that will allow you to master putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play as well as some specialty short game shots which, together, represent the majority of the game's shots and the fastest route to lowering your scores.
  • Help you develop a pre-shot routine that establishes a solid foundation for consistent and accurate execution on every type of shot you will face on the course. A solid pre-shot routine will help the transition from the practice facility to the golf course.
  • Help you blend the improvements of your swing technique with the proper club-fitting. Blending the instruction and the club-fitting together will allow for any player to be custom fitted for long-term progression.
