Kohler Golf Academy, with guidance from the PGA Sports Academy, uses a fun, systematic approach to encourage long-term player development. 

Offering four levels of instruction (Starter, Sport, Player, and Champion), the program focuses on five core elements to help youth learn, develop and practice skills to become better golfers and enjoy the sport of golf.

• Fitness and Nutrition
• Golf Skill Development
• Sportsmanship, Etiquette and Rules
• Golf and “Near Golf” Experiences
• Golf and Physical Assessments

All participants will be exposed to the fundamentals of golf including short game, long game, putting, rules and etiquette.

The objective of the program is for each child to learn to play golf and have fun in the process.
