The Home of Christopher Howard Golf
Las Vegas Golf Academy brings the Christopher Howard Golf coaching philosophy to Southern Nevada. Built on Chris Howard’s proven instructional foundation, the Academy is led by two experienced PGA Professionals who provide personalized private and group instruction for golfers of all skill levels.
Whether you’re new to the game or looking to lower your scores, you’ll receive practical coaching designed to help you move better, swing better, and play with more confidence—all from our home base in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Christopher Howard
Founder & Director of CoachingChristopher Howard is one of the most traveled golf instructors in the world, coaching golfers across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. Thousands of players—from beginners picking up a club for the first time to accomplished amateurs chasing lower scores—have trusted Chris to help them play better golf.
What sets Chris apart isn't just where he's taught—it's how he teaches.
His ability to simplify the golf swing into clear, repeatable movements allows players to understand why the ball does what it does, not just what to change. The result is a swing that's easier to repeat, performs under pressure, and continues improving long after the lesson ends.
Unlike traditional destination golf schools that often end when the weekend is over, every Christopher Howard Golf School includes a 6-Month Follow-Up Program, providing continued coaching, feedback, and support to help players turn what they learned into lasting improvement.
Whether you're trying to break 100, break 90, or take your game to the next level, Chris's coaching is built around one goal:
Helping you play better golf with less effort.
“My goal is simple: provide world-class instruction, long-term support, and measurable results—without the premium price tag of traditional destination golf schools.”
