The McCord • Brown Golf Academy
The McCord Brown Golf Academy at Orange Lake Golf offers year-round instruction for players of every skill level, from true beginners to competitive golfers. Located on the practice range at The Reserve, the academy combines PGA instruction, launch-monitor technology, and a structured lesson program in a relaxed resort setting.
Philosophy & Goals
The McCord Brown Golf Academy is built on a simple idea: golf instruction should be customized, fun, and effective.
- Lessons are tailored to each student’s body, goals, and physical limitations; there is no “one-size-fits-all” swing model.
- Instructors work with what you can do today and build a repeatable motion around it.
- The first goal is that golf becomes more enjoyable and less frustrating.
- The second goal is that if you invest in professional instruction here, you see measurable improvement using the academy’s methodology.
The academy’s mission is to provide high-quality, PGA-level instruction that is also affordable and accessible to resort guests, HICV owners, juniors, and local players.
