Here, we teach each student individually
The Academy of Golf Dynamics has been recognized by GOLF Magazine as one of the “Top 25 Golf Schools in America” every year since the list has been in existence. They described us as, “One of the greatest collections of minds in golf” when describing what many consider the best golf school in the country. Here, we teach each student individually, not a method or a system. Not only will you improve your swing and short game fundamentals, we teach you how to score better on our Nicklaus designed practice course.Whether you’re a total beginner, a scratch handicapper, or anywhere in between, you will be individually taught and your instruction will be tailored to your individual traits such as learning style, personality and build. With our state of the art V1 Pro video system, we’ll analyze your swing with you so you will have a clear understanding of what you need to do to reach the goal of achieving a fundamentally sound golf swing. You leave with your own personalized program designed to help you see your game reach levels you never thought possible.
But don’t worry, you won’t be overwhelmed with information and technical jargon. We believe in making the difficult easy, so we take what you have and make it better! And when you leave, we’re not done. We keep your swing information on file for any follow up help you might need in the months to follow. If you are looking for a good way to entertain clients and employees, reserve a school and improve your business relationships AND your golf game at the same time. We tailor these schools to fit all of your needs and wants including golf with our instructors if desired.

A portion of every golf fee benefits the Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy and First Tee – Clearwater where students grow in character, life skills, and academics.
In addition to practicing at the Driving Range, taking golf lessons from a professional instructor is the best way to improve your game. Our instructors are uniquely skilled at evaluating your game and can help you hit the ball longer and straighter, as well as play better on and around the greens.
You can schedule individual or group lessons.
When Hall of Fame golfer Chi Chi Rodriguez started a school on his golf course in Clearwater, Florida, he believed that the golf course could make a better environment for learning than a traditional classroom for some kids.
Many students struggle with poor grades, low self-esteem, or adjusting to a traditional academic environment. At the Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy, we are determined to positively impact the graduation rate of our community and prepare our students for success in the most important game of all. Life.

The Hills Country Club Through the Years
The Lakeway community started back in the early 1960’s. The first lot and sales office opened in 1963 along with the Lakeway Inn (now known as the Lakeway Resort & Spa) and Lakeway Marina. It was a sleepy, quiet retirement community comprised of second homes (lake houses) that many Houston/DFW residents would visit on weekends.
There was a two-lane road over the dam with limited stores and restaurants. In the local school district at the time, Lake Travis High School was a 3A school and is now a 6A plus school. There was one elementary school and there will soon be eight. The average age was 72 and is now 56. Today, people are moving here from all over the U.S., especially California and larger cities, but in the 1960’s, there were no apartments, senior living facilities, or hospitals.
The Hills Country Club is now a thriving community. It has great schools, golf, World of Tennis, EAC, one public golf course within 20 minutes, parks, hiking, lake dining, and the beautiful hill country. Whether you are retired or semi-retired, Members still love to move here for their children, grandchildren, and quality golf, fitness, tennis, and sense of community. There is no need to head into Austin when The Hills Country Club has it all.
1964
Air Park was completed.
1965
LIVE OAK opened its first 9 holes.
1967
LIVE OAK opened the second 9 holes and the pro shop was completed.
Around this time, the real estate market really began to take off.
1972
Construction began on the WORLD OF TENNIS and 4 additional tennis courts were added across from Live Oak. These tennis courts, though technically owned by the Club, were in poor condition and are currently leased back to the City of Lakeway for complimentary use by Lakeway residents.
1973
WORLD OF TENNIS opened its doors and The Village of the Hills was incorporated (the gated community surrounding The Hills Signature Course and Hills Clubhouse).
1976
Main Lakeway entrance was established off Lakeway Blvd.
1977
YAUPON golf course opened.
1979
Jack Nicklaus agreed to build The Hills Signature course.
1981
The Hills Signature Course and Hills Pro Shop and clubhouse opened. THE HILLS COUNTRY CLUB (mandatory) Social Memberships were introduced as the clubhouse was completed. You had to live in The Hills to be a Golf Member, all memberships were non-refundable. These memberships included social, fitness, sport amenities and limited golf access for a fee. Social or Fitness Memberships connected to THE HILLS COUNTRY CLUB were not offered due to lack of amenities. The entry membership level to join THE HILLS COUNTRY CLUB for residents outside the gated community was the Tennis Membership (referred to as Sport).
2000
– No longer offered the 100% refundable Cobblestone Memberships for golf or sport.
Childcare was introduced on a limited basis for an additional fee. First Membership Committee formed for Lakeway.
2001
The Dual Golf Membership was introduced (today called Signature Golf), which included all 4 courses. This was finally possible now that the LRA agreement was dissolved, which prevented HILLS COUNTRY CLUB and CLUBS OF LAKEWAY golf courses to be combined within one membership. When The Hills of Lakeway was purchased by Invited, Champions and Hills Golf Memberships became 1/3 transferable and have gone back and forth between initiation deposits versus initiation fees. Some of our golf memberships were 1/3 transferable when #1 on the resign list, and the remaining balance is then refunded to the Member 30 years from their join date; some memberships do not have this 30-year feature, they are only 1/3 transferable. Original memberships until 1995 were non-transferable.
The Swim & Fit Membership was also introduced around this time, which offered limited fitness center and pool privileges at the WORLD OF TENNIS. This was also when the CLUBS OF LAKEWAY membership (aka: LAKEWAY GOLF CLUB) incorporated a few WORLD OF TENNIS amenities as well. Clubs of Lakeway members now had use of outdoor tennis courts, fitness facility and pool, but the group aerobic classes and indoor courts that were included in HILLS COUNRY CLUB golf and sport memberships were an additional fee to CLUBS OF LAKEWAY members. The only shared amenity between HILLS COUNTRY CLUB and CLUBS OF LAKEWAY at that time was the WORLD OF TENNIS, which confused members, employees, and the marketplace. Hills Signature Golf Membership started a waitlist. Awaited grand opening of new Flintrock Falls course.
2002
The FLINTROCK FALLS golf course opened, which is a co-design by Jack Nicklaus and his son.
Nicklaus said his goal was “to create a fitting complement to the original Signature course that the members will find both challenging and enjoyable to play over and over again.” Flintrock Falls incorporated the same mandatory Social Membership as THE HILLS gated community had established, except Flintrock Builders were given a 90-day grace period before mandatory dues began. The grand opening of the new course opened up 500 new golf memberships alongside a crash in the Austin economy, which provoked short-term membership options to be introduced: 1-year membership for $2,000; 3-year membership for $5,500; and 5-year membership for $8,250 …. All to drive the dues line during this time. (IE: Callable) Golf.
2003

2004
