Mission Statement

“In my quest to make every golfer perform to the best of their ability I realized a long time ago that I had to teach the entire game to the entire person,” says Tom Rosati.    Our goal at the Tom Rosati Golf Academy is to teach the fundamentals of the game to players of all levels and develop each student’s ability beyond their expectations while at the same time instill a love and appreciation for the game that extends well beyond this unique experience. At the Academy we accomplish this goal by merging world-class instruction programs with a top-notch practice facility and state-of-the-art technology.

A little about Tom, as seen in the local papers:
The Tom Rosati Golf Academy at Great River Golf Club works with over 300 students during the course of the year.  A 21-year PGA veteran and the CT PGA 2009 Teacher of the Year, Tom was asked about the success of the Academy.

“Our success has four components,” said Rosati, “one, we teach at what is arguably the best golf property in the state.  Two, we have cutting edge technology including computerized digital swing analysis, launch monitors, golf simulators, indoor hitting stations and putting surface, a 12-acre practice facility with 2 putting greens, short game course and 3 practice bunkers.” 

“Three, the multi-tiered achievement programs we have created over my 21 years of teaching, have maximized each student’s ability beyond their expectations and instilled a love and appreciation for the game.”

“Lastly, and most importantly, we have a staff that shares my passion for teaching the game of golf.  This year we are proud to bring on a new golf professional.”

Rosati’s assistant director is Jordan Lintz.  Jordan comes from Tampa, FL were she was the Director of Women's Golf for National Golf Schools. An accomplished player, Jordan earned her fully-exempt LPGA status for the 2005 season by finishing T24th at LPGA Qualifying School.

Golf Academy Features & Programs

Individualized Instruction

The one-hour lesson will consist of a detailed analysis of your swing or other element of your game that needs improvement.  From long game to short game a PGA or LPGA professional will work with you to diagnose the problem and formulate a program to fix the problem.  We use state-of-the-art technology in the learning center to help you in your quest to become the best player you can be.

  • Specialized Short Game Instruction

The 4-acre short game area and chipping course provide the perfect opportunity for the teacher and student to focus on the always neglected part of the game.  The technology in the learning center and our new indoor putting surface we can analyze your putting stoke to the finest detail.

On-Course Training

Our playing lessons are designed to take what you’ve learned at the academy and transfer it to the golf course.  You will learn how to develop a pre-shot routine, how to focus on each shot and how to trust your swing.  You’ll also learn how to make good decisions and manage your game properly, as well as recognize and correct tendencies that may occur on the course but not on the range.
