Rick Smith Golf School at Turning Stone Resort
Experience One of America's Premier Golf Destinations
Join Rick Smith for an exclusive two-day golf school at Turning Stone Resort in Verona, New York.
Recognized as one of the country's premier golf destinations, Turning Stone combines award-winning championship golf, exceptional accommodations, outstanding dining, and first-class hospitality to create an unforgettable golf experience.
Hosted at the acclaimed Shenendoah Golf Course, originally designed by Rick Smith, this intimate golf school brings together personalized instruction and one of the finest resort golf experiences in the Northeast.
Limited to just six golfers, every participant receives meaningful one-on-one coaching, direct access to Rick throughout the school, and an environment designed to help you improve while enjoying the game.
Whether your goal is to become a more consistent ball striker, sharpen your scoring game, or simply gain a better understanding of how to practice and play, you'll leave with greater confidence and a clear plan for continued improvement.
Learn from One of Golf's Most Respected Teachers
For more than four decades, Rick Smith has coached golfers of every level—from beginners to major champions. His philosophy has always been simple: understand the golfer first, build sound fundamentals, and create improvements that last.
Over two days, Rick and his team will work with you in a relaxed, personal setting where instruction is tailored to your individual game. With only six participants, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions, receive continuous feedback, and develop a better understanding of how to practice with purpose and play with confidence.
A Golf School Unlike Any Otv
Every golf school can help you improve your swing.
This one also helps you better understand the golf course.
One of the most unique aspects of this experience is the opportunity to play Shenendoah Golf Course alongside the person who designed it.
During the on-course portion of the school, Rick will share the strategy behind each hole, explain the design philosophy, discuss the best angles of approach, and show you how thoughtful decision-making leads to better scoring.
You'll gain a deeper appreciation for course architecture while learning to see and play the golf course from an entirely different perspective.
It's an experience that simply can't be duplicated.
