Golf Lessons
Highly trained and motivated instructors that love to help people
Professional Instruction For All Ages
You can work with each of our instructors individually, but we have also developed some amazing programs for juniors and adults alike that lower your cost and your score.
The path to better play is unique to every golfer. The biggest step in becoming a good player is understanding how the flight of the ball teaches the correct geometry of impact. Without lessons, it is very difficult to decipher what is causing the ball to fly away from its intended target.
As stated by the Late Great John Jacobs, “THE GOLF SWING has only one purpose: to deliver the head of the club to the ball correctly and to achieve such impact repeatedly. Many unorthodox players achieve correct impact — so long as it’s repeatable, it’s OK.” Our Instructors will be able to provide each individual golfer with a clear picture of how to improve THEIR game.

MIKE SABOL
Director of GolfMIKE SABOL
Mike Sabol holds the position of Director of Golf at Queenstown Harbor, where he is responsible for managing all golf-related activities on the property. Passionate about the game, he considers himself lucky to do what he loves for a living. Mike started playing golf in high school and admits his competitive nature was a significant factor in pushing him to play and practice as much as possible. He became completely addicted to the game and when he found out he could turn it into a career, he was “sold.” Mike loves being around the game of golf, talking about it, watching it and teaching people. He also has a lot of pride in the Queenstown Course. “I hope it shows,” he said. Mike has a degree in Political Science from Penn State University. He is married with two children and loves golfing and going to the beach in his free time.
SPENCER HENSLEY, PGA
Assistant Golf ProfessionalSPENCER HENSLEY, PGA
Spencer takes pride in helping his students learn to love the game more. His philosophy is: golf is simple…get the ball in the hole in as few strokes as possible. Learning to play golf and enjoying the game should be the same. Spencer’s unique approach toward player development is grounded in the idea that there is no one specific way to swing the club or hit the golf ball. Spencer tailors his instruction to his students and their personal goals.
QUEENSTOWN HARBOR
SWING
The golf swing has only one purpose: to deliver the head of the club to the ball correctly, and to achieve such impact repeatedly. The only position that matters is the club’s at impact, which is determined by the clubface alignment (the most important factor), the path of the swing, the angle of attack and the speed of the clubhead.

STANCE
Many players never start in an address position that makes the windup back and through possible. If the set up is right, it’s all done; you don’t need any more thoughts.

PUTT
Many players see the line and try to take the putter back and through along that line. But that is not the most efficient method. Golf is a game that has the player positioned to the side of the ball, so the stroke must work inside on the back, and through swings in order to deliver the putter more efficiently.

PRACTICE
One good thing to remember is to have a plan when you’re heading to any part of the practice facility. Whether it’s to the driving range, putting green or chipping area, practicing isn’t a race to see how many balls you can hit in an hour.
“People are always friendly. The course is in great shape and the cottages are beautiful so go to Queenstown Harbor and stay and play!!”
