We know that character is something you cultivate.  We exist to enable kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges.

We see golf as a metaphor for life – a game with unexpected challenges and ups and downs that help build strengths beyond the technical skills to play the game. Through introspective questions, interactive games, and immersive golf exercises, we design each lesson to help kids build a better understanding of themselves and empower them to strengthen the parts of them that they take to everything they do. Research proves it works.

We offer programs to kids and teens ages 7-18 regardless of background or previous experience. All we ask is that kids come with an open mind and positive attitude.

Our coaches make all games and lessons adaptable for all skill levels!

We know it can feel intimidating to start something new. Everyone was a beginner once and our coaches are trained in creating a supportive environment to make kids feel comfortable and assure they have fun while learning about themselves and golf.
