Our Story

At ZS Golf, the mission is driven by a passion to redefine golf instruction. Zane Smith was inspired by his time at the exceptional Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy and US Golf Camps under Frank Mantua, saw firsthand what world-class coaching could achieve.

These institutions set a gold standard, prioritizing elite instruction and transformative student experiences. Yet, he noticed that many other golf courses and academies fell short, often overlooking the needs of coaches and students despite the significant fees they paid.

He believed that golf, as a premium sport, demands premium instruction—where a player’s investment is matched by meaningful, measurable improvement.

Fueled by this vision and inspired by the excellence of GGGA and USGC, ZS Golf was founded to deliver unparalleled coaching and elevate every student’s game. Our commitment is to provide an elite, results-driven experience that honors the passion and investment of every golfer who walks through our doors.
