Lead Instructor Bio

Dan Cormier – PGA of Canada
CPGA Professional
SuperSpeed Golf™ Certified Instructor

A native of Kelowna, BC, Dan Cormier is one of the Okanagan’s most outstanding golf professionals. Playing collegiately, Dan received a business management degree from the University of Guelph. Helping people play better golf is what he is passionate about and is as invested in his student’s golf game as they are. Coaching since 2015, Dan is a fully qualified CPGA Professional, and a key contributor to the growth and success of the Tower Ranch Golf Academy.

Dan is an outstanding player and has posted many strong junior, amateur, and professional results.
His stellar resume as a golfer and passion for teaching the game led him to one of Canada’s most sought-after golf destinations, where he helps players of all skills levels reach their potential through private and group lessons. Dan believes there is no ‘one best way’ when it comes to the golf swing, especially with some student’s physical limitations. There are, however, uncanny similarities that all good ball strikers have coming through the hitting zone. He is known for his ability to break down complex swing mechanics or short game concepts into simple and easy-to-understand instructions or drills.

When Dan is not coaching, you’ll probably find him traveling, on the lake, or enjoying a hike with his wife and dog, Sydney.
