Golf School

According to a recent study conducted by the Incentive Federation, the hottest new trend in corporate entertaining is golf school! Golf & Meetings magazine (May 2001) reported that many corporations are choosing the team-building experience of a golf school/resort to reward and motivate.

The Phil Ritson – Mel Sole Golf School develops and conducts custom golf schools and events for dozens of corporate clients. Among our many satisfied clients are PepsiCo, Citibank, Fluor Daniel, Aquila Energy Marketing Corps and the Raymond Corporation.

Let us know your requirements and we’ll put together an event you and your guests will long remember and profit from. We can design an outing where your group takes golf instruction in the morning and plays the course (with or without) our teaching pros in the afternoons. Cost varies depending on the size of your group. Call 1-800-624-4653 for the most competitive group rates available at a "Top 25" golf school.

Conference meeting space and staff available

If meetings are part of your agenda, you can utilize our 6500 sq.ft. conference center with flexible meeting space, full service business center and conference services staff. Following business, we can schedule clinics that cater to the novice golfers in your group as well as the more experienced players.

If you wish to enhance your conference with a golf event but have very little time, we will come to you! Our 15-20 minute "Golf Break" is conducted near the 18th green, just a few steps away from your meeting room. This short clinic will focus primarily on short game techniques, with optional participation of a designated person from your group. Call 1-800-624-4653 for rates.
