Michigan Golf Schools
Michigan is a premier summer golf destination, and VIP Golf Academy’s Michigan golf schools offer top-tier golf vacation packages that showcase the very best this region of natural beauty has to offer. Whether you are looking to learn at one of the premier Grand Rapids golf schools featuring dramatic rolling hills and challenging greens, or seeking Michigan golf resorts with instruction at the exquisitely beautiful Drummond Island, this is the perfect place to hone your golf skills this summer. Grand Rapids is known for its seasonal golf and vibrant culture, with our location at a course built right atop an old gypsum mine. Situated on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and the largest freshwater island in the United States, Drummond Island is one of VIP’s unique opportunities to get the top golf instruction in the nation and stay right on-site in one of their premier cabins, complete with resort amenities and activities for the entire family while you improve your game with one of our fantastic PGA or LPGA Teaching Professionals. Our PGA and LPGA Professionals in Michigan have decades of teaching experience, have taught college courses on the sport, and coach at both the collegiate and professional levels.
Why VIP Golf Academy Outshines Other Michigan Golf Schools
VIP Golf Academy has been in the business for over 30 years. And even now, VIP Golf Academy’s Michigan golf schools are the only schools in the state that encourage students to write Google reviews. Google reviews cannot be manipulated, deleted, or otherwise tampered with by the business owner. With 30 years of experience, over 360 reviews, and a 4.9-star rating, we challenge you to find competing Michigan golf schools that can say the same. (You can’t!)
Being in the industry for so long, we have borne witness to the ebbs and flows of the golf school industry. The most apparent shift was during the COVID-19 pandemic. Michigan, being an iconic summertime destination, welcomed the booming golf tourism industry, and a lot of new Michigan golf schools popped up across the state to capitalize on the growth. Most of these are what we refer to as “brokers”. Essentially, these businesses are call centers with no true relationship to any golf professionals or facilities in Michigan, and they will simply call around to find availability with whoever is available on your preferred dates. VIP Golf Academy’s Michigan location and professionals work directly for the company and are vetted by our team and National Director of Instruction to ensure their teaching standards align with our core values. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all method of teaching. Instead, we focus on customized golf lessons designed around your unique swing and skill level.
Every golfer attending our Michigan golf schools will bring a unique combination of skill level, physical ability, on-course confidence, and learning style. Our Michigan pros know effective teaching begins with recognizing those differences; this is why we only work with the TOP PGA and LPGA Professionals in Michigan. Unless you come to us as a completely new golfer, we work with what you already have; we do not attempt to recreate it. Clinic-style Michigan golf schools apply the same teaching methods to groups of students who all have different needs, completely negating the golfer’s existing skill level.
A lot of competing Michigan golf schools emphasize daily on-course play. At first glance, this could seem like a benefit. However, two hours of instruction in the morning, then hopping on the course after lunch, runs the risk of the golfer falling right back into old habits. At our Michigan golf schools, we encourage you to trust and rely on your Teaching Professional to do what they get paid to do: teach you! If this means you need to drill on the range for a while, it is encouraged that you trust that this is what is necessary to improve your game. You’re paying for individualized instruction with a TOP PGA or LPGA Professional. Utilize that valuable time to get the necessary information and do the work they recommend! They will know when you are ready to take it to the course.
