Check The Island out. I know it could be a little drive for you. But they do camps this summer and lessons. My 5 & 7 year old girls did it last year and they loved it. It was the second time for my 7 year old. They get some pool time as well which is always nice after the heat of the camp.

Chris B. At The Island (ChrisBurky) does an awesome job with teaching the game to kiddos.

Started playing golf in 8th grade. Had a few lessons from Burkstaller early on in high school and he pretty much helped catapult my game to the next level. Taught me a lot about the fundamentals and gave me a solid foundation to work with.

My son is in Operation 36 with Kevin Landry. I’ve been pretty impressed with it so far. They do 3 sessions a year that are 8 weeks long each. Lessons are once a week with a tournament on Sundays at Webb. All start at Level 1 and play from 25 yards with the goal of shooting 36 over 9 holes. Once that is done they move back to 50 then 100 then 150 and so on.

There is also the first tee program through Brec. I didn’t care for it as it seemed like the guys didn’t really do much coaching and didn’t seem like they wanted to be there. But it is cheap.
