Callaway Wedgeducation Clinic

Cordillera Beginners Golf Clinic

The Beginner Golf Clinic will be a great introduction to the game of golf and open to all members. The program will be taught in four separate segments:

1. Basic Swing Mechanics

2. Short Game

3. Long Game

4. Rules and Etiquette

The Clinic frequency will be once per month from Session 1 (March-June), Session 2 (July-October), with each session lasting one hour.

Equipment Custom Fitting

We will fine-tune your clubs to your ability, swing and physical characteristics. By using Flightscope Doppler-Radar Technology, we can analyze your distance, spin rates, launch angle and ball speed with every club in your bag. We offer the latest models and extensive fitting cart options with a variety of shafts from major manufactures such as Callaway, Titleist, TaylorMade and Ping.

Golf Fitness Assessment

The Titleist Performance Institute Golf Fitness Assessment is the most efficient way to improve your game. Through the assessment, we will collect data that determines the deficiencies that exist in your body that lead to swing faults. This physical snapshot offers an in-depth look to determine your workout program and improve your golf game. If you have any questions, please contact TPI Golf Fitness Specialist, Ann-Kristin Allen.

Camp season is officially on!

Our lineup of Summer Camps packs each week with adventure, skill building, new friendships and the kind of memories kids talk about long after school starts again. Whether your little Rancher is perfecting their golf swing, working on their serve, playing with horses, creating works of art, splashing in the pool or exploring the natural beauty of the Ranch, there’s a perfect fit for every kid’s curiosity. Our counselors bring high-quality instruction and tons of enthusiasm. And some new camps this year add to the fun! So, let’s trade in screen time for game playing and trying new experiences this summer!

Cellar Club

Great 8

In this edition, I was assigned the daunting task of coming up with five wines that everybody should have in their cellar. My mind searched through the thousands of bottles that I have ever tasted, and then the tens of thousands of wines that I have researched throughout my career.
This has left us with the following list, which became Jeff’s Great 8. These wines are extremely rare and hard to find, and especially come with a huge cost.

Living Life Under Par: Jaylaine and Erik Van Uden

Some families arrive in Cordillera Ranch because of the views. Some come for the golf. Some, like Jaylaine and Erik Van Uden, come because the timing finally feels right.
And maybe a little bit for the golf.
