Elevate Your Short Game at Burlingame Country Club
Nestled in the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains, Burlingame’s championship course demands precision—especially around the greens. Our specialized Short Game Instruction Program transforms tentative approaches into confident strokes, helping members shave strokes where it matters most. With personalized coaching on our dedicated practice facilities, you’ll develop the touch, technique, and mental clarity needed to turn three shots into two and two shots into one.
Whether you’re struggling with inconsistent chip shots or seeking to refine your bunker play, our PGA professionals craft customized improvement plans that deliver results. It’s not just instruction—it’s your pathway to experiencing “The Best of Times” on our Tom Jackson-designed masterpiece.
The Burlingame Short Game Methodology
At Burlingame, we’ve developed a distinctive approach to short game mastery that acknowledges a fundamental truth: no two golfers are identical. Our instructors begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your current techniques, identifying strengths to leverage and opportunities for improvement.
What sets our program apart is our emphasis on versatility. Rather than teaching a single method, we help you develop a diverse arsenal of shots—high flops that land soft as a whisper, low runners that release to the hole, and everything in between. This approach proves particularly valuable on our mountain terrain, where creative shot-making often separates good rounds from memorable ones.
Our instruction philosophy centers on three core principles:
1. Simplified Fundamentals
We strip away unnecessary complexity, focusing on grip, stance, and clubface control techniques that produce consistent contact. Members often remark how our straightforward approach brings immediate clarity to what once seemed mysterious.
2. Feel Development
Beyond mechanics, we cultivate your innate sense of touch around the greens. Through carefully designed drills and exercises, you’ll develop the ability to instinctively control distance and trajectory—essential skills when facing Burlingame’s undulating greens.
3. Strategic Decision-Making
The finest short game isn’t just about execution—it’s about choosing the right shot for the situation. Our instructors help you assess lies, green conditions, and pressure situations so you’ll make confident decisions when facing challenging shots.
Specialized Practice Areas Designed for Improvement
Your short game journey at Burlingame is supported by practice facilities crafted specifically for developing these crucial skills. Our short game complex features:
A spacious putting green with multiple hole locations that replicate actual on-course challenges. Practice chips and pitches from various lies—uphill, downhill, and sidehill—just like you’ll encounter during your round. Our dedicated bunker practice area with sand that matches what you’ll find on the course, eliminating unpleasant surprises when you’re playing.
These thoughtfully designed areas provide the perfect environment to implement the techniques you’ll learn in your sessions, allowing for efficient and effective practice between formal lessons.
