Golf Envy members can now access exclusive GOLFZON Leadbetter Academy coaching programs designed to elevate their game.
CHANTILLY, Virginia – GOLFZON, the global leader in golf simulator technology, today announced it has extended its partnership with Golf Envy, delivering enhanced instruction and game improvement opportunities through the GOLFZON Leadbetter Academy.
The collaboration brings world-class, virtual golf instruction directly to Golf Envy members, powered by GOLFZON’s award-winning simulator technology and Leadbetter-certified coaches.
With GOLFZON Leadbetter Academy, Golf Envy members will receive complimentary swing analysis from a Leadbetter-certified instructor and access to flexible monthly instruction plans. Players can also send unlimited swing videos to their coaches for real-time feedback, ensuring continuous improvement between lessons.
“Golf Envy and GOLFZON Leadbetter Academy are working together to use technology to break down barriers to accessing high-level golf instruction,” said Benedict Riches, CEO, GOLFZON Leadbetter. “The future of game improvement is indoors. Blending knowledgeable coaches with advanced simulator analysis, in a focused environment, will give golfers a more efficient way to improve their swing with lasting results.”
The training benefits of GOLFZON were on display in Golf Envy’s victory in GOLFZON Tour Season 1, where the team captured the $150,000 top prize, divided equally among players. One of the team’s stalwarts, Shreays Kumaresh, a GOLFZON Leadbetter Academy student, leveraged virtual lessons with GOLFZON Leadbetter Academy to help propel the team to the championship.

“The partnership with GOLFZON Leadbetter Academy gives Golf Envy members unprecedented access to world-class coaches across multiple time zones,” said Ryan Wines, co-founder of Golf Envy. “Because our facilities are open 24/7, members can practice on their own schedule. That flexibility, combined with GOLFZON Leadbetter Academy instruction and advanced swing analytics from GOLFZON simulators, positions Golf Envy as the premier destination for golfers to improve their game.”
Building on the GOLFZON Tour success and the strong member feedback, Golf Envy has expanded rapidly, selling 19 franchises nationwide. New facilities are slated to open in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Texas by year’s end. Each location will integrate GOLFZON Leadbetter Academy
instruction programs into membership offerings, delivering a consistent, high-level training experience for golfers across the country.
