Summer League Overview

During the first week, participants will take part in a group skills practice while getting to know their peers. The second week, participants will be assessed to determine where their current golf skills and on course experience align. Please note, the second week is mandatory for all participants. From there, we will place participants into pods based on current abilities. Within each of these pods, their on course experience will be tailored to meet them where they are in the game of golf, today, and ensure they are being provided a program for the next six weeks that will give each participant the positive outcomes and goals necessary to bring them back to the game for more!

Players will experience various formats of play, including but not limited to,

  • Captain’s Choice
  • Alternate Shot
  • Shamble
  • Four Ball
  • Stroke Play

*Yardages utilized will be modified for each of the four pods ensuring high success early with a progression to a longer yardage each week if progress and readiness is identified by their Program Lead.

Participant’s will receive:

  • Summer League Starter Kit
  • One (1) Golf Hat Selection
