Where Are The Good Golf Instructors?

As for the type of facility where one might find a good golf instructor, a general rule of thumb would be (because these are just general rules, there will be many exceptions):

A) Private Country Clubs—A Head Professional's primary responsibility is to manage the golf shop and the golf course and the Assistant Professionals are there, obviously, to assist the Head Professional. Rarely do the Head Professional or Assistants have time for, access to, or the desire to acquire the intensive training that is necessary to be a top notch golf instructor. For management at most private country clubs, golf instruction is a non issue (not a source of income), therefore a private club can be a hard place to find skilled instruction.

B) Resorts and Public Courses—as with Private Courses, and for the same reason, the golf shop staff of a public course generally won't have skilled golf instructors. However, some upscale public courses and some resorts are more likely to provide the services of a skilled teaching professional so as to provide more options, and therefore better service, to their customers.

C) Practice Facilities (Driving Ranges)—almost all Practice facilities have full and part time golf instructors available for instruction. In general, the best instructors prefer to teach at upscale courses but there are exceptions and it is possible to find good instructors at some of the better practice facilities. Remember, ask your potential instructor about their background!
