Testimonials

I just wanted to pass on my deepest appreciation and strongest praise for the 3 day lessons provided to me by Simon Cooke. He is truly an outstanding gentleman and instructor that successfully helped me get rid of my 15 year old slice! At the earliest opportunity, my wife will be signing up with the Island Golf School for lessons and requesting Simon to be her instructor. Thank you for an outstanding golfing experience.

Excellent time and money well spent. It is now up to me as to see if my game improves. It certainly gave me lots to think about as I am on the course and that was my number one reason for taking the lessons. I must say that my Pro Instructor Simon Cooke was first class in every way. Wonderful person who was a please to spend four days with. Also very patient which I appreciated. I will be back.

We had a great experience. Our pro, Dan Chickering, was excellent!
He was very patient and easy to work with. He took us through a complete evaluation of our game. We are going home with some very useful suggestions and techniques which should greatly improve our golf games. The two on one format was ideal for us. The Westin was also excellent. I am glad I found out about your program. We liked the idea of playing three different courses in the afternoons. Old South was very enjoyable. Thank you for everything, especially the champagne and chocolate strawberries; very classy!

Thanks to the Island Golf School for a wonderful day. A special thanks to Brett who made the learning experience a lot of fun.

Hi from Seattle,
Although the weather was a bit cool on Hilton Head while I took my lesson it was a good experience. I did not straighten my drives out but I did improve my short game and abit on putting. I found the school well worth while. Mr Toon was very nice and did give me several good pointers that I brought back to Seattle and they have improved my game. I was very fortunate to pay for school and get a private lesson. Mr Toon did not skimp on teaching time even though I was the only one. I had checked into other schools in the area and the big reason I chose Island Golf was because I got to play 9 with a Pro. Other schools allowed me to play as many holes I could fit in after my lesson but I would be by myself.

I had a wonderful experience. I played a few more times when we were down in South Carolina and I got to spend a week in Florida playing. I felt that what I learned about chipping was worth the price of the lesson alone. Unfortunately, I live in New Jersey and the ground has been covered with snow almost the whole month of February. Very depressing! Hope to get back down to South Carolina in March.

It was a freezing cold day, but Brett and I braved on...I was the only person who would be crazy enough to show up, so I was treated to a private day-long lesson. He was patient and thorough and for each portion of my game, full swing, chipping & putting, he made great suggestions and I made significant improvement. Hope to return sometime in the Fallwhen we visit Hilton Head again...might just book a private lesson...thanks.

I enjoyed the lessons with Brett. Unfortunately we are still under some snow here at home so I haven't been able to put my "new" techniques to the test yet. The best thing is I wasn't sure why my progress in the game had stalled or even went backwards a bit. Now I think I know a couple of things that were causing me major problems and I believe I know better what to practice and what to avoid. I think I will improve now in the season ahead. In a couple of years I hope to return for a "tune up". Thank you!

To Island Golf School,

Thanks to everyone for such a great experience. I found out about you via the American Express website, and everyone I worked with was great. I very much enjoyed the day out with our instructor Brett. I'm confident my golf swing will improve before I see him again! Gregory and I would definitely sign up again.

I worked with Bryan for a day and he was very quick to find my swing fault and help me with swing thoughts to get it fixed. My problem was mental, getting tense during woods on tight fairways. Bryan helped me understand what I need to work on so I have tools to take with me after the lesson.

After 3 weeks, I am still working on my mental issues, but I know what they are and I can identify a bad swing now. Besides being a good instructor, Bryan was great to spend the day with. I hope to see him on the tour some day!

Your instructors and facilities are top notch and I would recommend your school to anyone who wants to improve their game.
