Golf Academy Facilities
Academy Facilities
The Golf Academy at Morningstar has a full compliment of facilities, offering everything an aspiring golfer needs to improve. The academy utilizes a grass driving range, expansive short game areas and an indoor Trackman studio for year-round improvement. When you add Morningstar’s Furber designed golf course for our on-course coaching and industry leading learning technology, including Trackman, our academy instructors have everything needed to take your game to wherever you want it to go!
Trackman Studio
Our indoor Trackman Studio provides a great learning, practice and playing environment 12 months of the year. Driven by industry leading Trackman launch monitor technology, our coaches have the ability to capture over 25 golf club and ball data points and video so they know exactly what to focus on during sessions. They find the root cause of the ball flight problem and give our students one key thing to work on.
The studio is also a great environment for your next club fitting!
In addition to being a big part of coaching sessions, our students can also use the studio for practice, getting exact feedback after each shot.
The studio also serves as the location of our Indoor Winter League and virtual golf. Trackman has over 130 golf courses available form all over the world. Not to name drop but Pebble Beach and St. Andrews are just a couple of the courses you can play in the comfort of the studio.
Coaching and Practice
Through the use of Trackman, our coaches have the ability to capture over 25 golf club and ball data points and video so they know exactly what to focus on during sessions. They find the root cause of your ball flight problem and give you that one, most important, key thing to work on.
We think of the technology like an MRI machine. The patient doesn’t have to know how the machine works, they just need the machine to diagnose their problem and the doctor tells them what to do. Trackman gives our coaches the ability to make very accurate decisions on the best way to help you with your swing.

In addition to being a big part of coaching sessions, our students can also use the studio for practice, getting exact feedback after each shot. Once they and their coach have zeroed in on the most important thing to work on, our students know exactly what feedback they are looking for and practicing in the studio, makes practice very efficient. Efficient practice leads to the fastest possible improvement and who doesn’t want that?
The studio is available for practice either as part of an improvement program or by booking it by the hour at the rate of $40/hour ($35/hour for Morningstar Members).
