At the Santa Maria Golf Academy we do not give lessons, but take students. What this means is we establish long term relationships with our students. We do not just fix hooks and slices, rather we help you reach your full potential as a golfer. The fact is, you can be a great golfer and we can show you the way!

Take your golf skills to the next level and sign up for lessons with instruction by PGA professionals Ryan McGwyer and Chris Burkstaller.

Ryan McGwyer has worked with five of the current Top 100 Teachers in America as determined by Golf Digest magazine and was a member of the Golf Digest Schools teaching staff.

Chris Burkstaller, a Class-A PGA Professional, is also the instructor for the PGA of America's Golf for Business and Life Program at LSU. Some of his past positions include Head Golf Professional at The University Club in Baton Rouge and at Lakewood Country Club in New Orleans.
