“A player of any experience or skill level can better learn and improve their game at Cornerstone's academy/ training facility because every practice component has been designed to simulate on-course conditions.

There isn't a shot you can't practice, a situation you can't simulate with every club in the bag on this truly extensive and unique training complex at Cornerstone Club.  Every phase of your game can be tested and evaluated regardless of the skill level or experience of each player as a result of the terrain, elevations and surface grasses incorporated into this design. Anytime a player can practice different shots, different lies, under on-course playing conditions he or she can more easily transition from practice to playing more effectively. This complex provides that rare opportunity in one location.”

Mark Wood, Director of Golf, added, “To call this a driving range would be a serious injustice. From the PGA tour player to the beginning golfer, our Members will have access to one of the coolest golfing places they’ll ever experience.”

And Mark has lots of experience with “cool” places. In 2001, he was involved with the construction of a similar facility that received the designation as one of the “Top 50 Coolest Places in Golf” byGolf Magazine.

Here’s a quick recap of the 20+ acre practice facility scheduled for completion this October:

• Driving areas consisting of approaches that look like real golf holes – with both dogleg left and dogleg right shots
• Short game area that will replicate every shot a golfer will ever experience
• A golf training and club fitting facility proposed for opening in summer 2008 featuring state-of-the-art indoor/outdoor video, training and club fitting technology for game improvement
• Short course designed for family activities such as barefoot golf tournaments and other fun events
