Two New GMS Locations!!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled golf instruction to make a special announcement. GMS is proud to announce the opening of 2 new GMS locations. We normally reserve this space to speak about ways to improve your golf game (and we’ll get back to that next week). However, every once in a while we need to make a special announcement.

GMS has primarily been based in Florida (4 locations), California (2 locations) and Arizona (1 location). 6 of those locations could be called Winter locations for Golfers coming south to escape the cold – the exception being our Lake Tahoe location – which is open from June 8th to October 15th.

We have now expanded our Summer locations by 2:
Washington DC and Denver, Colorado.

Two New GMS Locations

Washington DC & Denver, Colorado

Why have we chosen these two locations? You mean besides having the best practice facilities around, excellent golf courses and having a hotel either on property or within just 2 miles away (with free shuttle service)? Or that both are just 15 minutes from major airports or within just a few hours drive from areas with many Golfers?

Maybe the details below can answer some of these questions for you:

Washington DC - Lansdowne Resort

First - Accessibility: Lansdowne Resort is 15 minutes from Washington/Dulles Airport. Right on the edge of Virginia wine country. With shuttle service available from the airport - there's no need to even rent a car - you don't need to leave the resort. And it's within a few hours drive of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, etc.

Second - The Golf Courses: Lansdowne Resort has 45 holes of golf (27 holes by Greg Norman and 18 by Robert Trent Jones Jr.) and an excellent practice facility. And what's also great is that each hole is bordered by nature and the Potomac River - not houses - it's absolutely beautiful! A double-sided practice range and dedicated short game facility. Although it's all about the golf - I have to say that the clubhouse is also fantastic!

Third - The Accommodations: Lansdowne Resort has been named a AAA 4 Diamond Resort with 296 rooms on property, 5 restaurants, a full service spa, 5 swimming pools, tennis courts and an excellent exercise facility, etc. So once you're there - there's no reason to step off property.

Fourth - Additional thoughts: If you're a Golfer, it's obvious why this is such a great facility to have a GMS program. However, an additional bonus is what's available if you want to bring a non-golfing spouse or children. With the fantastic pools on property, the historic sites of the nation’s capital just down the road, full service spa, wineries, Friday Night Concerts on property, etc., etc. The rest of the family will have plenty of activities to occupy their time.

Denver, Colorado - Green Valley Ranch Golf Club

First - Accessibility: Green Valley Ranch is 15 minutes from Denver International Airport. And our two hotels - The Hyatt Place and the Marriott are just 2 miles from the golf course. Plus, both hotels provide complimentary shuttle service from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the golf course each day - with restaurants at or next to the hotels, there's no need for a rental car.

Second - The Golf Courses: Green Valley Ranch has 27 holes - an excellent 18 holes by Perry Dye (it’s the site of the Colorado Open), and it also has the coolest 9 hole short course I've ever seen, along with having the best practice facility out of all our GMS locations. First, to hold the State Open Championship tells you it's a great golf course. Second - you're in Colorado. Of course it's a beautiful setting. Third - It was voted the best practice facility in Colorado!

The practice facility is as good as it gets. Private range area, an excellent private short game area and a dedicated instructional building. This really is a first rate facility - it's no wonder it was voted as the best practice facility in the state.

Third - Accommodations: At Green Valley Ranch, we're using two hotels - the brand new Hyatt Place and the Marriott. Both are pretty much right next to each other and are just 2 miles from the golf course. Both hotels offer free transportation to and from the airport, along with to and from the golf course, free wireless internet, both have pools, exercise facilities and the Hyatt has complimentary continental breakfast (at the Marriott you can upgrade your room to the Concierge Floor for $20 a night which gives you access to the Concierge Lounge and includes breakfast, night time appetizers, etc.)

Fourth - Additional thoughts: Again, if you're a Golfer, it's obvious why this is such a great facility to have a GMS program. Plus, just look a few miles to the west and you're in the Rockies. You can actually see Pike's Peak from the golf course. During your GMS program, there won't be much time for exploring the area - though if you have a couple extra days, go and enjoy the Rockies and all the activities they provide.
