Who are the counselors? » Return to Top
The key to any quality golf school is the staff. The majority of our staff members return each summer – because they love the environment & teaching kids. US Golf Camps prides themselves on having some of the best junior golf instructors in the country. Our staff is made up of PGA/LPGA Professionals, College Coaches and players that not only have a great knowledge of the golf swing, but also enjoy teaching juniors.
Our instruction ratio is 3 to 1 in the Elite and Advanced Golf Programs, and 4 to 1 in our Fundamental Golf Program. Since all of our staff stay with the kids 24/7, our staff ratios stay the same in the evenings as well. The experience and availability of our staff will not only guarantee that each junior will learn a lot about golf, but more importantly have a great golf camp experience.
