WHAT WILL I LEARN FROM GOLF MADE SIMPLE?
At Golf Made Simple, your game will get better. You’ll learn how to play your best golf … whether that means making golf fun as a beginner or winning the club championship. You’ll learn to improve your golf swing and the most important part … take those improvements onto the golf course! Golfers love GMS for a reason … Read Golfer Success Stories.

HOW MUCH GOLF INSTRUCTION WILL I RECEIVE?
Each day includes 6+ Hours of developing your golf swing to hit the ball great and have more fun on the golf course. The hourly breakdown of all our programs is on the Golf School Daily Schedules Page. The simple fact of having the ability to work with your Instructor over a longer period of time is essential to seeing golf swing improvements that stick. 

HOW MANY GOLFERS & INSTRUCTORS PER CLASS?
There will not be more than 4 Golfers in a Golf Made Simple School. And Returning Golfer Programs will not have more than 6 Golfers per Instructor. Personalization is the key to successful golf instruction. This is not just any golf swing you’re trying to improve … this is your golf swing … so personalization is critical. With GMS limiting each date, it allows us to personalize our Instruction to each person.

WHAT IF I HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS OR REQUESTS, e.g. FOOD ALLERGIES?
Lunch is included with your Golf School each day. GMS Locations have lunch menus that will accommodate most dietary needs. Severe allergy concerns or specific circumstances can be discussed directly with us prior to visiting. See ‘Contact Us’ Page.

DOES MY INSTRUCTOR ACCEPT GRATUITIES?
The Instructor knows gratuities are not expected – however, they do accept gratuities. Nothing Is Expected. When people feel that our Instructors have gone above and beyond expectations … they typically receive anywhere from $25 to $1000 depending on size of group, wallet, and enthusiasm.

As GMS limits classes to only 4 Golfers per Instructor and we group classes based on skill level (if applicable) … space is limited. With the majority of people traveling long distances to attend it’s often impossible for us to fill spots vacated within 45 days of arrival especially after possibly turning people away from spots already reserved. Thus, in the case of needing to cancel / reschedule we follow the given policy –
  • Greater than 60 days to class start date – deposit is fully refundable
  • 59 to 45 days before class start date – deposit becomes non-refundable and can be applied as a credit to a future program
  • 44 to 30 days before class start date – balance paid is non-refundable but, can be applied as a credit to a future program plus a $125 reschedule fee at the time of booking
  • 29 days or less before class start date – balance paid is non-refundable but, can be applied as a credit to a future program plus a $250 reschedule fee at the time of booking
The refund policy aims to balance fairness for customers while ensuring the stability of the business. Life-changing events such as sickness, death, or business challenges are deeply empathized with, but a defined timeframe helps manage financial processes and obligations. Exceptions might be considered on a case-by-case basis to address unique circumstances.
