This camp was excellent
This camp was excellent- my son improved and learned how to better work on his skills. He really absorbed the direction received from the pros and was able to apply it to his golf game and describe what he learned to me on the ride home. In addition to the great golf instruction and as important as that is, he had a blast off the course with the other campers, the activities, and even in the rooms after the day was done - Great Job Staff!

My daughter has not stopped talking about the camp

Groups do not seem to have the same level of instruction
"My only comment is that the groups do not seem to get the same high level of instruction and my son appeared to be put in a group of boys who were not as experienced. I would recommend that there be a place to indicate the playing ability on the registration form or their handicap to help the placement process in the future."
