    OUR APPROACH

    Building Juniors On and Off the Course

    For the past three years, our After School Academy has been a proven path for junior golfers ready to take their game seriously. We have watched juniors reach their goals of playing at a high level on their school teams, and several have gone on to collegiate programs.

    At the same time, this is a fun, welcoming outlet for kids just getting into the game. Every session is built around three pillars: coaching the mind, developing the body, and refining technique so players grow as athletes and as people.

    3+ Years
    A proven academy track record helping juniors build real, lasting improvement.
    Team Achievements
    Juniors reaching varsity-level play and earning spots on their school teams.
    Collegiate Path
    Alumni moving on to collegiate golf programs and continuing their competitive journey.
    JUNIOR PATHWAY

    Four Groups. One Clear Path.

    Every junior enters at the level that matches their age and experience, then progresses through a structured pathway designed to build skill, confidence, and competitive readiness.

    NOTE: Little Linksters (Ages 4–7) has its own pricing plan and class passes, separate from the after-school memberships. Every card above shows complete member, guest, and class pack pricing — see the Academy Tuition section for details.
