Swanson Golf Center, Houston

At both of his Matt Swanson's School of Golf and Custom Fitting Center facilities, Matt has established a method of instruction that goes well beyond basic driving range practice. After assessing each student's ability, Matt creates an individual plan that addresses their game, driving, iron play, short game, and mental approach. Golf Digest has certainly taken notice of the center, picking it as one America's top club fitters in 2011 and Matt as one of the best instructors in Texas in 2013.

Its short game area challenges players with putting and low-pitch zones, and the golf school sows its seeds of wisdom during lessons, clinics, and camps. The driving range ups the ante with Trackman technology, which precisely analyzes the data of every shot, such as distance and whether a ball was hit hard enough to take down a charging golf cart.
