Golf is a wonderful way of life in
Bella Vista, Arkansas. The
Inn offers our guests the use of six (6) 18 hole golf courses, a nine
hole executive course and a nine hole par 3 course. Golfers will find
each course offers different challenges, so everyone can find a course
to fit their game.
Innkeeper Beverly Williams
is also an LPGA Golf Professional and a member of the LPGA Teaching and
Club Professional Division. As a playing professional, she played on
the Futures Tour. During her years of teaching and developing golf programs for
all levels of golfers, Beverly worked as the Head Women's Golf Coach at
Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. The team ranked No. 1
nationally in the NCAA Division II, and her team members held 3 out of
the top 5 spots.
She has now brought her experience and knowledge to
Bella
Vista where she offers golf lessons through the B. Williams Golf School.
A variety of schools, lessons and packages are available.
The
B. Williams Golf Schools
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 private schools for
men and
women as well as couples schools. 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.

Comments
"I
must tell you that my game has improved. I
have shaved
about 10 strokes off my game thus far due to improved approach shots.
Also my short distance putts (within 6 feet of cup) are
deadly.
Thanks so much!!!" Cindy

"Thanks again for working with me and for making it such a
positive
learning experience. You are certainly a natural at teaching
and
I appreciate your positive attitude in your teaching style.
(Even
when you had to tell me the same thing over and over, it sounded good
every time you told me -- lol). I had a terrific time!"
Janeene
“I'm so glad I went to
your school. I had such a blast! Thanks for taking good care of me
& your tips really helped. Oh & the Saturday after we
came home, I won 1st place in my tournament. I
shot a 90. I was really excited. Now I'm setting a goal to shoot an 86.
I know I can because of the help you have given me. So Thanks, again!"
