The Nick Faldo Golf Schools by Marriott
Marriott, like most golf resort providers, realized that to compete with their peers, they had to come up with one of these instructional institutes. One has to wonder exactly what goes into putting this kind of thing together. Instruction is never cheap, no matter who’s name carries the instructional flag, and this one is no exception. Still, the Faldo name, along with his innovative ideas, do make for something a little different.
As a student at any of the Faldo Golf Institutes, including Shadow Ridge and Marco Island, you can tweak and test your game while being subjected to some of the latest innovations in golf instruction. From there it’s just a short walk from the practice facility to the championship course proper where you can put all you’ve learned at the Institute to the test.
