At Mississippi Dunes Golf Links we have created one of the finest practice venues in the area. With our enormous putting and chipping green to our bunkers and range we encourage you to come out and practice. We welcome individuals and groups to improve their game of golf through lessons. With our experienced PGA staff, you may spend time fine tuning your putting, chipping, irons, or woods. Tyler Brewton, PGA and his staff are also available for individuals or groups to go over etiquette and the rules of golf. Finally, if you are looking for a playing lesson on our championship golf course Tyler can demonstrate the mental side of the game. Remember, golf lessons are great gifts!

AJ Hoffman, Director of Instruction, PGA

Let me help you shoot lower scores! I’ve traveled the country working with some of the best instructors in the U.S. and I would like to teach you what they’ve taught me.
Education and Backround:
I began my playing career as a 6 year letter winner and All-State High School player at Mankato East HS. From there I went on to play golf for Gustavus earning two more varsity letters, MIAC Freshman of the Year, and Honorable Mention All-American. I then transferred to New Mexico State University to pursue my passion of golf.
As a graduate of the Professional Golf Management Program, I was able to find jobs at some of the most prestigious golf courses in the country. I began at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in South Lake Tahoe, home to the American Century Celebrity Championship as seen on NBC. I then went to work at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, considered by many as the best single best place to play golf in world. After leaving Bandon, I moved back to Minnesota to work at Hazeltine National Golf Club for the past 3 seasons and hosted the 2009 PGA Championship. During the offseason I was fortunate to find a job at the TPC Scottsdale, hosting the FBR Open twice.
Mississippi Dunes has given me the wonderful opportunity to do what it is that I enjoy most about golf, teaching the game and watching students prosper. Let me show you what I’ve learned from Directors of Instruction Mike Barge at Hazeltine and Grant Rogers at Bandon Dunes.

Tyler Brewton, Head Golf Professional, PGA
tbrewton@mississippidunes.com
I have been an apprentice of the PGA of America for the past four seasons.
My passion is for teaching, playing, and introducing the game of golf to new players and juniors. I have extensive experience working with golfers of all abilities. My greatest asset as a teacher is my ability to communicate clearly with a student the exact feel or change that we are working on achieving.
My staff and I conduct junior lessons, adult clinics (see below), women's lessons (see below) and are involved with all PGA sponsored events including Get Golf Ready (see below) and Play Golf America events.
Education:
I played college golf and graduated from Hutchinson Community College (KS) with my Associate's degree. I then attended Kansas State University and earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing. I am currently enrolled in the PGA-M program and am actively involved with the Minnesota PGA Section.
