The Bird Golf Schools provide private, individual instruction for 60 minutes of each hour in either a 1 student to 1 instructor or a 2 student to 1 instructor ratio. The six or eight hour per day sessions allow students to take advantage of one-on-one concentrated instruction. Bird Golf teachers are world-class, widely-recognized golfing professionals who have a combined 400 years of teaching experience, hold Tour titles and are members of various Halls of Fame.

General Manager of The Paiute, Pat O.Hara, emphasizes the depth of instruction Bird Golf provides noting, “seven members of their staff are in one or more Halls of Fame.

Head Golf Pro at The Paiute, Greg Wickensimer, states .in my experience no one student or person has the same goals or needs when it comes to their golf swing. To learn this difficult game, players would benefit from personal one-on-one time with some of the best instructors in the world. The Bird Golf Academy allows students that rare experience, whether their focus is the short game, putting, full swing, or course management, through individual lessons that cater to a player.s personal game. Improving your golf swing and lowering your handicap is a near guarantee..

When students create their individual clinic through the academy at The Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort, they will enjoy accommodations following a day’s instruction at The JW Marriot in Summerlin, which features deluxe rooms with whirlpool bathtubs, separate showers and luxury beds. The resort also has a Spa, seven restaurants on property, two 11,000 square foot swimming pools, shops and a casino.
