Testimonials

“Susan, Hugh and I had a wonderful time at your school.  Hugh enjoyed Colin’s instruction and I thoroughly enjoyed your approach to instruction and your ability to see areas where change will result in an improved golf game.  The Windham Golf Course, hotel and restaurants were wonderful but the people (you and Colin) and your instruction, positive affirming approach and expertise made the holiday and learning experience A1.”
Ann Brignell…   Canada

“I thoroughly enjoyed my recent 3-day golf school weekend with Tom at your school, and being in the mountains in the Windham area. I am so pleased to find I am hitting the ball much more consistently, straight and with more distance.  My friend Richard who joined us for a day is a very experienced golfer, and he kept remarking how beautiful the Windham Golf Course is, well maintained and in a splendid setting.  I look forward to joining you again.”
Alan Margolin…  New York

“Terese and I wanted to thank you for another great weekend Memorial Day in Windham, New York. We were impressed by how quickly Tom identified problems with our swings so we could work on them all weekend. We left much better golfers, which allows us to enjoy our time on the golf course that much more. Thanks again and see you next year. ”
Mark and Terese Best …  New York

Claudia and Paul Chacona…. Athens, Pennsylvania

“Once again we had a terrific weekend with Colin in Windham. This was our fifth year at the golf school and each year it gets better. Whether you're a beginner or simply addicted to the game (like us), this is the place to be. We are so happy with the way our golf game has improved thanks to Colin's skill, patience and good humor. What a great way to spend a weekend-see you next year!! “
Peter and Jane Eichmann… New York

"Amy and I wanted to thank you for a great golf experience. Our instructor was Colin and his abilities as a teacher are superb. He is able to easily spot your bad habits, and provide you with the tools for correcting them, making the game much more enjoyable. We will certainly return in the future to keep working on our game."
Thanks... Peter J. Mc Guire MS,MD

“Just wanted to thank you for your helpful lessons. We left physically and mentally exhausted but energized. Holly and I just got done playing 9 holes and we did our best ever!! I even made par on 3 holes, a new personal best. Thank you so much, and you will see us again.”

Windham Course
 
 
The Roland Stafford Golf School is entering its 43rd year in the northern Catskill Mountain Region of New York State in Windham, New York, also known as “Town in the Sky”.  Our home is the new and spectacular Windham Country Club just 2 1/2 hours north of Manhattan and 1 1/4 hours southwest of Albany.  Windham Country Club dates back to 1928 and Golf Digest rates this 6024 yard golf course with 3 1/2 Stars and a “must” play.  The course is scenic and challenging and demanding of all your shots. Improve your swing, your around-the-green shots and your putting on the specifically designed practice areas. Then take your game to this beautifully manicured 18-hole golf course. Three sets of tees allow players of all abilities to enjoy their round of golf.

And I like to think that he had his weekend getaway in the country just like us.”….Randi Margolin
