My Golf Game Improved Greatly!
I spent 8 weeks at Premier Golf Academy Summer program. It was the most fun I ever had and my golf game really good now. My driver was only 130 yards when I arrived and because of their training I can now reach 200 yards on most drives. It is really exciting. I love it here.

Wonderful Program With Excellent Results!
My son Leo attended the Summer program at Premier Golf Academy. I am so happy with his improvement and with the care and attention of the Premier golf Academy staff. These guys are really professional and the student’s results are amazing. Leo had never broken 80 before going to Premier Golf Academy and by the end of the summer he was always under 80 including 2 tournament wins and a all time best score of 2 under, 70. Wow!

Made Me Feel Like A Pro!
My time spent at the Premier Golf Academy was the greatest gift my parents could have given me to help me achieve my goals in golf. The Premier Golf Academy training was unlike anything I have experienced. I feel like they trained me like the professional train. It was alot of hard work but super fun and inspirational. I am more motivated than ever to practice, continue using their training techniques, and look forward to returning next summer.

Best Instruction Experience Ever
My experience at Premier Golf Academy was great. I spent seven weeks in their summer program and my improvement was drastic. I was able to play in several tournaments and shot my all time low score winning one of the tournaments.
