New Jersey Golf Schools
Situated right on the Jersey Shore, VIP Golf Academy’s New Jersey golf schools are perfect for the region’s golf season from April to October. VIP’s NJ golf schools take place either on a course of deep ravines and grassy hills, reminiscent of traditional Scottish courses, or on a parkland‑style course featuring striking bunkering and smooth rolling greens. Our New Jersey PGA Teaching Professionals have over 30 years of experience as PGA Professionals, having taught countless students over their decades in their roles. They believe in the same teaching philosophy as VIP Golf Academy: the best golf instruction is tailored individually to each student, and that is why we feature the best golf schools in NJ.
#1 New Jersey Golf Schools: The VIP Golf Academy Experience
For over 30 years, VIP Golf Academy has been in the golf industry, with our National Director of Instruction originating in the New Jersey area and becoming very familiar with the industry standards and culture through his time there before moving to Florida. This time in the industry has allowed VIP to experience the ebb and flow and learn and adapt to the changes of the industry. The COVID-19 era boasted one of the most drastic changes to the industry in decades, with golf schools popping up all over New Jersey to capitalize on the growth in the summer golf season. Most of these New Jersey golf schools are what we call “brokers”, or middlemen between clients and whatever golf schools are available, with no real relationship with any New Jersey PGA Professionals or facilities. All of VIP Golf Academy’s New Jersey professionals work directly for the company and are all vetted to ensure their teaching standards align with our mission of providing the best personalized instruction possible every time.
Every client will come to our New Jersey golf schools with a unique combination of skill level, physical ability, and confidence, and understanding this is where effective teaching begins. This is why we only work with the TOP PGA and LPGA Professionals in New Jersey. 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 golf schools do not customize based on student needs, negating the existing skills or physical capabilities each student may have.
Emphasis on on-course play boasted by our competitors 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. Oftentimes, the “broker” companies and clinic-style New Jersey golf schools fall back on this as a perk because they do not vet their golf professionals and cannot guarantee what kind of service their client will receive. Our personal relationship with our New Jersey professionals allows us to guarantee that our clients will receive the best possible instruction.
At our New Jersey 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 getting the necessary information and doing the work they recommend! They will know when you are ready to take it to the course.
We have such tremendous trust in our professionals and our program that we are the only golf school in the state that encourages every student to leave a Google review. 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 New Jersey golf schools that can say the same. (You can’t!)
