"I have become a much more consistent golfer after working on my game with SMART Golf & Fitness. The facility is unparalleled in Chicago and I'm able to work on almost every aspect of my game using the latest tech. The gym is equally impressive and, working with Blake Denney, I've been able to significantly improve my balance and range of motion, which has helped me remove a lot of the "corrections" I had put into my swing to compensate. I can't recommend these guys enough!"

"Would highly recommend to anyone at any level of skill. The guys at SMART Golf & Fitness are first class professionals who know how to push you just hard enough to achieve your goals. I’ve taken lessons before and saw few long term results but SMART Golf’s program has changed the way I think about the game and how I play it for good. A huge thanks to everyone involved."
