About the Refinery

Inside The Refinery, you’ll find Trackman launch monitors, hitting bays with swing analysis software, and a SAM putting lab. Our award-winning professionals utilize this technology to properly diagnose strengths and weaknesses associated with your game. The Refinery is open to both Members and guests for lessons; Members gain priority access to indoor and outdoor areas along with reduced booking fees and other benefits.

 

Golf Training Technology: What We Use

TrackMan

The TrackMan 4 launch monitor tracks and displays the full trajectory of any shot, from short putts to 400-yard drives, pinpointing the landing position with superior accuracy. It also maps the shot’s 3D trajectory in real-time, together with all impact and launch information. Coaches use swing analysis software, providing valuable feedback, so students can easily understand what is happening and what needs to be improved.

Understanding your metrics in putting is just as important as with your full swings. Sam Putt Lab allows our coaches to provide valuable information concerning your putting stroke and how well you roll the ball. How well you roll the ball ultimately determines whether the ball wants to funnel itself into the hole or burn past the edge of the cup.

Houston’s Premier Driving Range

Driving Range

Our driving range offers golfers of all skill levels an unprecedented opportunity to sharpen their game. Designated fairways run down the middle for tee shot practice, while numerous target greens intersperse along the range, perfect for dialing in accuracy and shot-shaping with each club. The greens feature the same grass found on-course, allowing for real-time spin feedback. You’ll also find a serpentine green guarded by bunkers running across the range—use this for honing your wedges.

Short Game Area

Practicing your short game is one of the quickest ways to save strokes on the course. Improve around the green, out of bunkers, over bunkers, and from every lie imaginable at our short game area. There’s space for shots up to 60 yards.
 

Golf Coaching and Lessons

From one-on-one golf coaching to group clinics, you will find that The Woodlands Country Club offers a wide range of game improvement resources for golfers of all skill levels. While The Refinery is our flagship golf training center, golf lesson programming from our award-winning instructors is available at all TWCC facilities. Within the instructional programming, you will find a year-long Junior Master’s developmental program, Keep Her Playing programs designed specifically for women and girls in golf, BioSwing Coaching to help you Own Your Swing, 9 Basic Swing Flaws to transform your bad habits into dependable skills, Family Centric programming, and much more!

Meet the coaches

Throughout the year, we hold “Meet the Coaches” events at The Refinery. Our coaching staff includes a team of world-class and award-winning instructors. Heading up our team is our Director of Instruction, E.A. Tischler, a Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor, past Golf Digest Top 50 Instructor, and PGA Tour Coach. The team also includes James Larkin, STPGA award-winning instructor, Craig Kanada, Lifetime Korn Ferry Tour Member, Susie Redman/Kirk, LPGA Tour Lifetime Member and Legends Tour Member, and Allen Riley, Certified Golf Psych Instructor. Rounding out the team are Johnny Montes and Joyce Trus, who both have extensive experience playing and coaching, and are Head Coaches for the Junior Masters Developmental Programs.

Custom Club Fitting Menu

The Refinery is home to our state-of-the-art golf club fitting studio, outfitted with the latest equipment from Srixon/Cleveland/XXIO, Callaway, Titleist, TaylorMade, and Ping. With thousands of club head and shaft combinations, our master fitters are guaranteed to find the correct combination that best suits your game.

 

We offer a full menu of golf club fittings, including the driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, and putter. You can arrange a fitting for the whole bag, a few clubs at a time, or even just that one magic club you need in your bag. Our fitters work closely with our golf swing coaches to ensure that your new set of custom clubs will match your ideal swing for the best results possible.

 

We understand that when you are interested in purchasing new clubs and getting the proper fit, the experience is about the club fitting, not a lesson. Lessons are left to our world-class team of coaches. However, if you are taking lessons with one of our coaches, it is a good idea to have him or her collaborate with the fitter to make sure you are getting exactly what you need. Schedule your fitting today with the confidence that you will receive the best possible fit.

 

Order the club(s) at the end of your fitting and save on the fitting fee.
