"It's an incredible recognition to be on this list of some of the most elite instructors and facilities in the country," said Andy Mickelson, Director of Golf. "The backbone of Mistwood has always been its strong golf culture, and that begins with having the best team of PGA and LPGA professionals leading our instruction. Whether working with the beginner whose goal is to make contact, all the way up to top high school talent looking to play in college, our team is best suited to help you reach your goals."

In 2020, Toptracer was installed at the Mistwood Performance Center, further elevating the course's public golf experience. The facility also features 11 heated hitting stations for all-season practice, and two teaching/club fitting bays utilizing all of the latest in state-of-the-art technology.
