About
Located in Dripping Springs, Texas, the late Dave Pelz’s Backyard is a nearly 3-acre short game and putting complex replicating eight of the most famous golf greens, including the 12th at Augusta National, the Island 17th at TPC Sawgrass, the 14th at Pebble Beach, and the 17th at St Andrews. Called “The World’s Greatest Backyard (for a Golfer)” by the Wall Street Journal, it is just one part of Dave Pelz’s legacy.
Dave dedicated the last 50 years to “understanding the game so I can teach it more simply.” All eight iconic replicas serve specific purposes and once you’re on the “facility” as he called it, you’ll quickly gather how much Dave genuinely loved playing the game, studying it and teaching it. His “dream come true” laboratory with its panoramic scale and creative design is where Dave continued to make discoveries to help golfers improve. That was fundamentally who Dave Pelz was. You’ll learn from the best and enjoy an experience of a lifetime.

Just a great experience and I look forward to practicing and using the skills I learned. I would highly recommend to any golfer looking to improve their game.

Very clearly identified what I needed to change, how to do it, and how to practice it. I found the 3 day investment very valuable. For the first time ever, I am excited to practice. And the fact that I was there with 3 friends (and there were only 4 of us total) made it even better.

Great course. Well worth the money. I played 9 holes the day after the course and could already see marked improvement in my short game. I wish I had taken this class years ago.

My wife and attended the school together, and it was an excellent experience for both of us. We now have a consistent way to approach short game shots, which we never had before. I believe we will use what we learned forever. Hope to see improvement in our results as we practice more.

Time very well spent. I wouldn’t hesitate to return for further instruction as needed. Hands down the best golf instruction I have received.

Not only did I FINALLY learn what the short game is all about, but I had a ton of fun while doing it. Dave Pelz has given his students an incredibly valuable experience.

The instructor teaches you a short game system based on data and science instead of “this is how I do this shot”. My short game, which was already ok, became more consistent and reliable. Thanks for doing the research, Dave, and thanks for teaching me the system, Chuck!

Bucket list adventure that exceeded my high expectations. Improvement techniques were backed up by facts and science. Not opinion.

Incredible experience, long-time student, read the Putting and Short Game Bible books when they first came out. So glad I took the class. My friend that joined me calls it life-changing!
