World-Class Instructors

Each Bird Golf Professional has been hand-picked from around the world. We are proud to be represented by the finest teachers in the world today. At Bird Golf, our private and individual instruction is unique in its concept. Since this is your own private school, everything is customized for you. You pick the dates that you would like for your school, and the curriculum is designed specifically for you.

Unmatched Value & Individual Attention

Compare the Bird Golf experience to other top golf schools, and you will find us to be the best value to improve your game. Whereas in other schools, you will be in groups of 4 or more per instructor. At the Bird Golf Academy, you receive private, individual instruction for 60 minutes of each hour.

Focused on Your Improvement

Our focus is you. It is this quality of instruction that separates the Bird Golf Academy from other programs — and from the imitators who try to copy our philosophy. From high schoolers to college students, from career golfers to aspiring amateurs, we work with students at any level to help improve their scores. Our 6 or 8 hour per day sessions allow us to take your game to its highest potential. You spend your entire time with your own golf professional.

Course Strategy & On-Course Lessons

In addition to our superb teaching staff, we will also teach you how to think better. Learn to take your game to the course. Because we work with you privately, on the course (daily playing lessons), we can identify your traits accordingly. Ever wondered why you hit the ball so well on the driving range, only to then go out and play so poorly? We will show you why.
We believe that your time at one of our schools will be just the beginning of a lifetime of golf excitement and improvement, as we offer our students unlimited remote follow-up with their instructor after the school session has finished (included in all of our packages). Working with your own personal swing coach is the way to make significant improvement. Working with your Bird Golf instructor gives you the ultimate swing coach.

Quality Accommodations & Full Access

Enjoy quality accommodations at select resorts and hotels, included with every Bird Golf school package. It is a great option for a focused golf getaway where you can work on your game while enjoying a relaxing setting. Each program also includes unlimited golf and access to practice facilities. Compare what’s included, and you will see the value of a complete golf school experience.

Students Say

“

“Our time with Bird Golf Academy was truly unforgettable because of Shirley Furlong. We absolutely loved her. She is everything you could hope for in a coach and more. Shirley is patient, knowledgeable, kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in her students’ success.

She made learning so enjoyable and built our confidence every step of the way. We left our sessions feeling inspired, motivated, and so grateful for her.”

Tessa

“

“I recently attended the Bird Golf Academy at Seaview golf course in Absecon NJ. I found it to be a tremendous experience that significantly improved my understanding and pleasure in the game.

I attended the three day class and I strongly recommend Bird Golf Academy and Brien to anyone that is looking to improve. My only comment would be I wish I had attended the five day class. I would without hesitation go again.”

Patrick

“

“Coming into golf school, I had convinced myself that I didn’t need to try and swing and play like a pro or try to get more distance – too old for that. I just needed to make some tweaks to my swing and game and be more consistent.

After actually seeing my swing and listening/learning from Greg’s professional coaching I’ve changed that mantra. I’m excited and committed to some changes that I expect will significantly improve my game and consistency.”
