I've loved and hated the game of golf for nearly 20 years. Finally decided I'd had enough when it came time to teach my daughter to play. I don't even know how to play lol.
I was on the verge of quitting, READY to shed all the bad advice from the past 2 decades (not easy), learn or quit.
Decided to start lessons with Joe at BE Golf and my perspective immediately changed. Great guy, very understanding, down to earth and humble. Next few games best time of my life.
Crazy i put this off for so long. Very excited to continue working with him, down the right path finally. Also my daughter loves him. She's so excited for her next lesson! Highly recommended.
Thanks Joe!

I’ve had an amazing experience training at BE Golf specifically with Coach Joe Renfer. To start the facility at BE Golf is top notch, they have every tool you need to improve. But what truly sets this facility apart from the rest is Coach Joe.
Joe is extremely knowledgeable, patient and very adaptive to every golfer he works with. He takes time to genuinely understand what you want to get out of your training sessions, he meticulously teaches you how to control the ball from the ground up by explaining it in ways that are easy to grasp. My golf game has seen massive improvements from my three lessons with Joe.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player looking to fine-tune your skills, I can’t recommend Joe Renfer enough!

Would highly recommend BE Golf to anyone looking to improve their game no matter the skill level. They come up with individualized plans and give you skills and tools that you can carry forward for years. They make things very simple and easy to understand. I worked with Chad but everyone there is top notch from what I’ve heard and saw.

In a matter of 30 minutes, my golf game was completely changed. I understood what I needed to do, and HOW to do it. Joe and the team have a process in place that works. I’d highly recommend using them and will be in the future.

Just started working with Nick. I signed up because I had worked with Ben before I moved out of state. I absolutely love the philosophy here, teaching you why your ball is doing what it does as opposed to immediately changing your swing. I’m so excited to work with Nick this summer and into the fall and winter (Michigan, they have an indoor studio, we don’t have to put our clubs away!!)

I gained more out of one lesson than I have with all other lessons combined. Most importantly they don't try to change your swing, they work to improve your own swing. I had a great experience working with Jeff. I highly recommend giving them a try.

The key is that BE Golf and Jeff are able to make me a better golfer, not a textbook clone of some other golfer. There is not just one way to golf - it’s about making each person better given who and how they play. Already after 5 sessions, things are making sense, diagnosing when things don’t do what you want, then what. All of this is so very helpful along with Jeff’s patience and ability to help me understand and relate it to me! Great place, methodology, and coach Jeff!

Great bunch of instructors!
I had the three lesson package. Each lesson expanded from the first. They promote warm up before starting the lesson, and post lesson swings if space is available.
I'm very satisfied and will probably be back for more instruction.

I joined BE Golf membership to have a place to practice through the winter, and it's been the best decision I've made for my golf game. The facility is absolutely phenomenal, equipped with everything a golfer could dream of- all types of training equipment, hitting bays, simulators and a putting aria equipped with latest technology. All that comes with an amazing friendly staff who are always eager to answer questions or demonstrate the perfect fix.
Chad's coaching has been a game-changer for me. I have extended my irons by a remarkable 15-20 yards, and his guidance has not only boosted my confidence, but also deepened my understanding of my swing.
I can't sing enough praises for BE Golf. Chad, Ben, and the entire staff are not just exceptional coaches but wonderful friends as well. If you're serious about taking your golf game to the next level, these are the people to make it happen. Highly recommend BE GOLF.

I’m new to golf and I’ve taken golf lessons before, but none of them even come close to what Nick has done for my game. From the very first lesson, it was clear that he has an incredible ability to break things down in a way that actually makes sense. His attention to detail, patience, and ability to tailor his coaching to my specific needs made all the difference. In just a short time, I’ve seen major improvements in my swing, consistency, and overall confidence with golf. If you’re serious about getting better at golf, I can’t recommend Nick enough!

As a brand new golfer in my 50s, Coach Jeff has been great. He’s patient, friendly, gives encouragement and is willing to work through challenges methodically. He also provides helpful tips about posture, swing speed, set up techniques and really works to customize his lessons based on what I need to work on. He’s a great listener and really wants students to enjoy the game—and not take it or yourself too seriously. Definitely recommend!

If you have ever considered golf lessons- do not hesitate! sign up today! EVERYONE is welcome and all of the coaches truly enjoy teaching the game. No matter your level/handicap walking in the door you will leave with a better understanding and excitement for the game. I went in with a goal of just wanting to finish 18 holes of golf without my version of cart golf (picking up my ball and riding the cart out of frustration for any given hole :) 2 achieved goals later - my goal now is to break 90. With the confidence and knowledge Coach Nick Antonucci has given me through his instruction, I am sure it will happen this coming season and I look forward to coming up with another goal. Coach Nick and the BE Golf facility has done more for me than I could have ever imagined possible.

What a great facility to work on your game. I've never quite seen anything like it honestly. I'm a high handicapper and was a bit nervous about even swinging the club in front of my instructor Nick.
Nick immediately put me at ease and had me hitting it on center by the end of the session. He's very knowledgeable of the game and has a unique approach to problem solving. If you are looking to improve your game these folks can certainly help

GLA is awesome! I was a frustrated golfer of 5 years. I've had 3 other coaches, but I wish I had come here first! After taking the OnRamp with Chad, i found GLA's approach to instruction to be *refreshingly* so far off from what I've gotten from other coaches that just wreaked havoc on my golf game and my ability to enjoy the sport. They really know how to break things down in a way that is easy to understand for people of all ages and athleticism. The best part is, they give you guidelines and structure to follow to see continued improvement, rather than constantly making body positioning adjustments and swing tweaks. I know I'll be back for more lessons, and highly recommend them if you're looking to improve at the game of golf.

This was my first ever golf lesson. While I have been playing for a while I have been inconsistent and a high handicap. Watching and trying various YouTube videos just made things worse.
My first lesson with Jeff was easy as he was he was attentive and observant. He made logical changes to my swing and provided me with customized practice ideas that are easy to do at home or the range. After 1 lesson I already notice a difference with consistency at the range. Can’t wait to see what the next two sessions bring.

Golf leadership academy is a very welcoming place and It’s been a pleasure working with Nick Antonucci. He has enabled me to free my swing and make improvements to my golf game.

Had my first lesson today with Nick Antonucci. I went in there as a complete amateur, no true idea what I was doing with the exception of a few tips here and there from a buddy, my only background being sports through high school (baseball, football, etc) and Nick had me hitting the ball with my eyes closed by the time I left! Sounds crazy I know, but the way he breaks everything down simplifies it SO MUCH that it takes all the overthinking out of it and he focuses on honing your natural swing and using that to consistently hit the ball. Great teacher. 100% going back for more lessons. Finally getting pumped about golf.

Had a great experience with Nick Antonucci. I didn’t know what to expect as I’ve taken many lessons at many places over the years, but the process exceeded my expectations. They have a very logical, simple approach that makes you wonder why you wasted money anywhere else trying to improve your golf game and have more fun. Nick was real easy to deal with and once he got me into my “free swing” I was puring irons with my eyes closed, true story. I can’t wait to get back for my 2nd and 3rd lessons. Thanks Nick!

I have had nothing but great experiences with GLA. I was a novice golfer looking for evaluation and guidance on how to start improving my score. I worked with Soti Michalos over the winter and he has helped my swing tremendously. We spent a lot of time going over the parts of the golf swing, practicing and refining the motion over the winter months before putting it back together before golf season to achieve 'one motion'. He also helped me understand how to identify what has gone wrong on those swings that aren't perfect on the course. You can leave each lesson with key takeaways and a practice plan for what to work on between lessons. Having just started golf season I can tell that I have improved greatly from when I first came in. It is a great facility and I highly recommend checking it out!

I have been training at Golf Leadership Academy for close to 8 months and I have seen my golf game grow exponentially. Before training at GLA my game was stagnating. GLA has a revolutionary, but simple coaching method that truly allows the golfer to improve and own their game. I have tried most of the golf training places in the Metro-Detroit area and GLA stands among them as the best. I am coached by Soti. He is a young guy with a wealth of knowledge and experience playing the game at a high level. He is personable and understands how to improve the game of golfers of all levels.

Nick is an excellent instructor!! Being a novice, I had a lot of anxiety, but Nick immediately squashed that and I was hitting the ball from the start! He is very patient and has an excellent eye, making small adjustments without overwhelming me with too much information at once. The philosophy is simple yet brilliant. I highly recommend GLA for golfers of all skill levels!!!

Great place to get custom clubs ordered. Helpful and friendly staff.
While I'm not new to golf, I started taking lessons with Nick to work out some issues with my golf game. During the first lesson I laid out the problems I was having and the things I'd like to improve on. Nick took the time every step of the way to assure me that there is nothing wrong with the way I'm playing golf and that there's no such thing as a perfect swing, so I shouldn't waste any energy stressing about how I'm swinging the club. He emphasizes that he is there to help me get the ball to do what I want it to do and go where I want it to go, and that he is NOT there to fundamentally change the way I play. Rather than making me learn relearn golf from the ground up, Nick's teaching focus on the relationship between the way the ball travels and my current swing and how that relationship can be manipulated by varying minor things with the swing I already use.
I think this teaching style is great for beginners or experienced golfers alike because it completely eliminates the idea that you as the golfer are doing anything wrong. This allows you to go out there and just have fun, rather than try and be the next Tiger Woods. So, if you're looking to start playing golf for the first time, or are finally tired of donating your $5 golf balls to the foliage, come on down to Golf Leadership Academy and talk to Nick.

I’ve been playing golf for 33 years without ever having lessons. At age 51 I am currently a 13.5 handicap. I could not see myself getting any better without taking lessons. I decided on Golf Leadership Academy on the advice of a friend. This past Wednesday was my first lesson and all I can say is Wow! Nick Antonucci greeted my as soon as I walked in and sat me down to discuss where my game is currently and what I was looking to get out of the lessons. After just one lesson I was able to learn so much about my swing that I am totally blown away. I cannot wait to see how much more I can learn about my game and how well I will be able to transpose all of this to the course.

First of all, let me acknowledge that I’m a Senior golfer. I finally have time to work on my golf game.
To list the things that aren’t textbook about my golf swing, would take longer than the hour I spent with Nick Antonucci today. I didn’t want to rebuild my golf swing. The season is too short and I’ve known too many guys who have suffered through an entire year trying to adjust to the changes.
Let me speak about Nick. Nick’s teaching style is very natural and conversational. I had a hundred questions, he was patient and encouraging. It’s exactly the kind of coaching that I respond well to. I have worked with a couple of golf pros in the past and it can be tedious. This wasn’t, the hour flew by.
So, this GLA is about swinging the golf club freely and moving the swing thoughts out of the equation. I am encouraged by the approach and the incremental improvement I felt today. This is a process and I’m not getting ahead of myself. So far so good, and I’m real comfortable with the fact that I found a coach and an approach that will drive results and improvement on my scorecard.

Can’t speak for young guys but with Ben’s lessons I am enjoying golf more than ever before. I am also playing better because of the focus on “Simplicity”.

Had my first lesson with Nick today, and let me tell you I’ve had many lessons before but this was different then them all. Nick explains the swing with such simplicity it’s incredible. Many golf lessons will attempt to teach us things that will take decades to figure out and still not be able to master. Nick makes you feel comfortable in your own swing understanding the important factors while cutting out all the millions of tips and tricks we’ve all tried or are trying. Trust me and don’t look any farther then this place to take lessons 10/10 can’t recommend more.

My son decided 2 years ago to switch from playing travel baseball to playing golf. Prior to that he had played very little. Last year about this time we signed up for lessons with Soti at the Golf Leadership Academy and have been working with him ever since. The progress has been amazing. This spring he achieved his goal of earning his varsity letter as a freshman in a very competitive program that finished in the top 10 at the MHSAA D1 State tourney. He has continued to get better this summer and had success in many junior golf tournaments including the Top 50 Junior Tour and the GAM.
He has not only improved his swing and ball striking but he has developed a deep understanding of how the variables in the swing affect the ball flight and how to make the necessary adjustments. He is also learning about course management and how to lower his scores.
Soti has been great with the instruction but I think even more importantly has been a great mentor to my son as he develops his game. I can't wait to see how his game continues to improve.

Highly recommend GLA and Chad. For context, I'd classify myself as a beginner/recreational golfer with average scores around 104, didn't play weekly, go to the range and just swing trying to "fix" myself.
I signed up for 3 lessons, without big expectations, with Chad and after the first I wasn't sure I'd be back. But during that lesson, his method/the GLA method clicked when I noticed drastic changes in my ability to adjust my swing and the club. I have a plan when I step up to the ball now other than swing away and it has been resulting in better shots. Still have a long way to go but I'm encouraged. I also recommend the Tuesday Tips!

My performance is improving significantly at a rapid pace, but more importantly I'm having a lot more fun golfing. Their teaching methodology is super approachable. Facility is absolutely fantastic. I can't recommend GLA enough.

I have worked with Ben for years !!! as has my family and many friends. He is always readily available, busy as he is, and right on target. He knows just what I need. and his suggestions are always able to be understood and take to the course.
He’s my guy!

GLA lessons were given to me as a gift. A much needed gift as my putting sucked. The guys at GLA gave me the resources to reset and focus on a specific set of principles which has helped my game a ton. Thanks GLA.

I'd give 10 stars if it was an option. Excellent, pupil-focused instruction; delivered by professionals who clearly know the game and its challenges. After three ramp up lessons, I went on to drop my index by nearly 4 strokes over the course of a single season. On top of that, Ben and Chad are great people.

I watch many of the Tuesday tip of the week U-Tube videos. These videos have provided useful tips that have helped with my swing mechanics as well as the mental aspect to my game. As a result, I am hitting the ball further and have become a more consistent ball striker. Also, I seem to be enjoying myself more on the golf course.
The videos posted by GLA are much appreciated. Thanks!

I have tried many different coaches, and with limited results. I was skeptical, but Chad helped me substantially. I recommend everyone goes to see him or Ben.

GLA has been the best thing that has ever happened to my golf game. My 16 yr old daughter and I joined GLA this past summer and they have helped us improve so much in so many areas of the game. The GLA instructors have such a perfectly unique way of explaining things with specific drills and thought processes so that you understand clearly how to achieve your specific goal. My daughter always says to Ben our instructor that she wishes her math teacher could explain things the way he does because he does it in a way that she always understands it perfectly. And the GLA instructors process is different from others Ive seen as they don’t try to make all their students have the exact same swing. They work with your unique swing with the understanding that there is more than 1 way to have an effective golf swing. Their facility is amazing. They have all the training tools and knowledge to help you with your specific needs. No matter what level you’re at in the game they will be able help take you to that next level.

I love the sports psychology aspects of GLA. Also, the coaches explain “why the ball don’t lie” which enables the student to understand what happened with the club path, face and ball and then what core adjustments have to happen. Very empowering.

I work with Chad and right off the bat I knew our philosophies for golf were different. It took me three lessons (cause I’m stubborn) to embrace his philosophy. After that we clicked great. My enjoyment for the game went up while my frustration level went down. He helps you find your natural swing that works for you.
Now I’m focused on the mental aspect of golf along with the things I can actually control. I highly recommend not only giving Golf Leadership Academy a try, but give it an honest chance to work. Don’t be impatient with yourself :)

If you're looking to improve your game, this is the place. Chad and Ben are both excellent coaches. They keep complex concepts simple and speak in terms that are easy to understand. They help you understand how the golf swing works and give you useful practice concepts to help you to better your game. They allow you to set your goals and find ways to help you get there and make things attainable for you (see attached picture). I would highly recommend these guys to anyone.

Great place to learn golf. Not only do Ben and Chad grasp the fundamentals well, they also teach you how to learn by yourself and correct your game on your own. They understand that each swing and player is unique, and they provide instruction that pushes and challenges you to become a better player each session. They are able to implement many different teaching techniques to accommodate any player at any skill level.

Great for kids; great for adults! Our sons have been taking lessons from Ben and Chad for 3 years. They make it so much fun, while also teaching tools to correct the golf swing based on what the ball is doing. They emphasize process rather than outcomes and the importance of a good attitude and good character as a player. I have also taken lessons with Ben and learned how to adjust my swing and improve my short game.

If you are truly looking to improve your game, GLA is a must! The confidence and tools they teach will make your golf game enjoyable. Ben and Chad are both eager to share their knowledge and genuinely want you to be a better player. If you are looking for something different than the traditional golf lesson, and are willing to work at it ...this is the place! I went from a 17 index to a 6.8 in 3 off seasons.

I had been plagued by significant inconsistency in my golf swing for years and years. An occasional 30 minute lesson or the latest golf magazine tip did little to help me. I became aware of GLA when I occasionally picked up my grandson who was in the youth program there. I was immediately impressed by Chad and Ben's teaching approach. It stresses swing fundamentals , repeatability and it's not boring. It teaches you to understand why the ball does what it does and how to correct it.
My granddaughter is now also a student along with her brother and I can say enthusiastically that Chad and Ben's approach works for all ages.

My daughter and I have been attending training with the crew for years. I have already lowered my handicap by 5 strokes. My daughter is a freshman in high school and was the A player for the varsity team. She has aspirations to play in College and I am confident Ben and Chad can get her to her goal.
I would not go anywhere else

I have had the pleasure of knowing Chad and Ben for several years now. They both have great energy and knowledge of the game. I have recently over the last month started working with Chad to cure a distance and accuracy problem with my driver. In three lessons I have gained close to 15 miles an hour on my clubhead speed and roughly 40 yards of distance on my drives. Great facility, and I would highly recommend them to beginners or established golfers alike.

The GLA has a sparkling clean Novi indoor golf facility. They have the best golf lessons near me, the best indoor golf simulators, and the best golf lessons Novi period. You’ll fix your hook and fix your slice and shoot lower golf scores. I’m so happy I started working with Ben and Chad and the GLA team!

Becoming a member at the Golf Leadership Academy is easily one of the best decisions I have ever made for my golf game. I was just looking for a place to regularly practice indoors over the winter to keep my game from falling apart. Between the exceptional facility, incredible technology available and the friendly staff I have not only maintained my golf game throughout the winter, I have improved. I know my yardages much more closely, my dispersion has decreased and I start putts more on line.
Each member of the GLA staff has gone out of their way to share their golf expertise with me when they had a free moment. My handicap index when I started going to GLA was a 1.7. I recently got all the way down to a +.9. I owe a large portion of that success to the help that the GLA staff has provided.
I highly recommend this facility to anyone interested in developing their golf game.
