Peggy Kirk Bell’s generous spirit brightens the entire property, but perhaps nowhere is her influence more alive than in the resort’s approach to instruction. Recognized as one of golf’s all-time great teachers, Mrs. Bell pioneered the innovative Golfari on-tee and on-course adventures, a blend of fun and instruction that flattens the learning curve for players of all ages and ability. Her warm, hands-on approach guides each of the expert PGA and LPGA professionals who will shape and develop your game. No matter your proficiency, our staff can elevate your play and your enjoyment of the game.Donna Andrews
