Golf
Camps
The Park District of Highland Park is teaming up with The Golf Practice again this summer to deliver the most comprehensive approach to golf training on the North Shore. Through The Golf Practice’s multi-level camps and programs, your junior golfer has a complete path from beginner to high school varsity golfer, and beyond.
What makes The Golf Practice different?
The Golf Practice uses a holistic approach to golf training focusing on the whole student and not just swing mechanics. Students will build athleticism and coordination, learn safety, and develop social skills that will elevate them on and off the golf course. The golf curriculum at The Golf Practice is based on developing curiosity about the game. Summer Camps include fast paced stations, colorful aesthetics, and energetic staff to create an engaging environment of learning and fun. Once students become interested in golf and show developing skills, they graduate to the Travel League and High School Prep Summer Camps and begin to hone their game, learn to compete, and develop confidence on the golf course. The roadmap provided by The Golf Practice, in partnership with the Park District of Highland Park, creates a pathway for junior golfers to achieve their goals and become confident, successful young adults.
Half Day Golf Camp | Weekly Camp
Ages 5-11
The Experience:
Half Day Golf Camp, Level 1 of our three Summer Camps offered in Highland Park, is for beginners or students with limited experience. Over 30 years of junior golf training has taught us that students must first show curiosity before learning can occur. We foster this curiosity through fun gameplay, colorful stations, and our high-energy coaches. While your junior golfer will learn the fundamentals, our main focus of this camp is to show students that golf is fun. We guarantee your junior golfer has never experienced a golf camp like this!
Friend pairing requests are (usually) granted and club rental is available.
