This program is designed for the competitive golfer who wishes to play college golf and improve their tournament results. It is open to all skill levels, but the curriculum is geared towards players who are playing competitively. These camps offer training and real competition scenarios that develop every part of your game. Campers work on short game, putting, approach shots, course management, and will test their new skills in competitions and an 18-hole tournament. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed.
