Golf At The Inn At Bella Vista

The B. Williams Golf School was founded in 1994 by Beverly Williams, LPGA Class A Professional and one of Golf for Women Magazine's Top 50 Teachers in America. Designed to help all levels of golfers improve their game and enjoyment of that game, Beverly has worked to keep the schools small and personal. Students work directly with her and have plenty of time to interact outside of the scheduled lessons.

Specializing in teaching women golfers of all levels, the schools offer a relaxing, safe and fun filled environment. Women have a chance to learn without feeling intimidated or embarrassed and go away with a sense of confidence that they belong on the golf course.

In addition to women only schools, Beverly also conducts schools for both men and women. These schools are very popular with couples who wish to learn to enjoy the game together better. Couples are taught to speak the same “golf language” and learn to recognize swing flaws in their partners in order to help each other continue to improve.

All schools are conducted in Bella Vista, Arkansas at The Inn at Bella Vista. Schools are limited in size and are customized to the needs of the students in the class. The most popular school is the 5 day/4 night full skills program. These schools are designed to give the students a solid foundation in both the full swing and the short game while introducing them to course management and helping develop a positive mental game.
