SMART Golf & Fitness Instruction

For the player dedicated to improving, SmartGolf is a truly amazing option. SmartGolf provides a great golf/fitness facility with an awesome community. I have specifically worked with Case (golf coach) and Chris (fitness coach) for just over a year, and the results have exceeded my expectations by a mile. I am in my mid-40s, which isn’t an age when you expect to see huge improvements on the course or gains in the gym. But I have gained 10mph clubhead speed and dropped 5+ strokes off my handicap. I have also gotten more flexible, substantially stronger, and feel much healthier in my daily life. Their two-pronged approach really works. Case provides  top-notch golf instruction that is specifically tailored to your biomechanics and physical capabilities. Chris provides focused, research-backed fitness instruction targeted toward improving those physical capabilities, and making you a better (and healthier) athlete. I appreciate that both of them can provide the curious client an academic-level of detail about their methods and motivations, or just let you trust the process and know you are on the path to better scores and a healthier body. But I should note: it’s not always easy. It takes dedication to the program and a lot of work on the part of the client. That said, if you are willing to put in the effort, I can assure you that Case and Chris (or any of the other amazing golf/fitness staff members that you might click with), along with the friendly and committed staff and the community of like-minded golfers, will take you and your game to new heights.

Everyone at the facility is warm and friendly and I look forward to walking into the building. My instructor, Mark, has been incredibly thoughtful, professional, and helpful throughout the process. He breaks down complex elements of the golf swing in a way that makes them easy to understand and apply. We’ve worked extensively on my pivot, shallowing the club, and improving my weight transfer, and the improvement in my swing has been encouraging. I’ve also spent time with Chris in the training room, and the physical work has made a huge difference—my body feels better every day and I’m starting moving more efficiently. I couldn’t recommend Mark and the entire team more highly.

Mark is a great teacher, incredibly patience with my very bad habits. He really takes the time to explain why we are making certain changes. Wonderful experience!

Had a full bag club fitting with Kyle in Northbrook...it was a great experience!! Very professional! Looking forward to my new clubs and the new season!

I went here for a putter fitting, Todd was super helpful. He was a true professional! Very rare to see someone genuinely interested in doing the right thing for the customer! Thank you, Todd!

Im coming up on one year of being a SMART Golf member. I’ve got to say this place is the real deal. Ive been a golfer who took a decade off, and took the game up again in seriousness when joining. In the last year Ive learned more about the golf swing, and the fitness it takes to support it, from the guys here than in all time before. Key to that are the people. Kyle as a golf coach has taken something that seemed overly complex and given me a way to approach the swing that is already making a fundamental difference in what I can bring to the course. Jazper’s approach to the physical training it takes to get you body ready for this at 45 years old was the other piece of the puzzle. As it comes up on the year to renew my membership, it’s these two guys and their approach that make it a clear decision. Now time to keep putting in the work! Thanks to Kyle, Jazper and the SMART Golf team. If you put in the work you will not be disappointed.
