2021 Summer Golf 5-Day Programs
By limiting class size and maintaining a 3:1 student teacher ratio, kids receive personal attention and progress quickly. Our golf instructors utilize the U.S. Kids Golf instructional pathway under the leadership of our PGA Director Roy Hobson, a U.S. Kids Golf Certified Instructor. The program mixes both kid-friendly instruction and play on the course. Kids learn effectively and have fun at the same time. Appropriately sized U.S. Kids Golf clubs are provided to help kids develop power, balance, swing speed and tempo at a young age.
Each 5-Day Session includes:
- Instruction for 5 key areas of the game: Putting, Around the Green, Full Swing, Knowledge, and Scoring
- On-Course Playing Instruction and Structured Learning Games
- Teaching of golf rules, etiquette and sportsmanship

FAQ's:
Does my child need clubs? There's no need to rush out and buy equipment prior to camp. We have clubs available for the kids to use. As a US Kids Certified Instructor, our PGA Director of Golf, Roy Hobson, strongly believes that what you equip your child with makes a significant difference in their development. We encourage you to wait until the start of camp so our instructors can help determine what's best for your child's current size and ability.
What time should we arrive? Each session will begin and end promptly at the appointed time. We have a full day's schedule of junior golfers and can't be responsible for kids outside their appointed time session.
What should the kids wear? Weather appropriate attire, usually a shirt with shorts and maybe a hat. Some of the early a.m. classes may need a light jacket. Don't forget to apply the sunscreen. Golf shoes are not recommended for young children. Sneakers are perfect. No baseball or soccer cleats, please!
What if it's raining? We will meet daily at the scheduled time, rain or shine. If the weather is threatening we move indoors to safety.
Should we pack a snack? We provide a light snack and drink each day. Please advise the instructors of any food allergies.
What's the Show Off Celebration? The kids love to get recognized with their classmates and are always excited & fearless to show off what they have learned! Due to Covid-19 restrictions against large gatherings, the Show Off Celebration will be held outside during the last 20 minutes of Friday's classes. Parents, Grandparents, Siblings, etc are all welcome as long as social distancing is maintained.
