Private Golf Clinics
Custom-designed 4-hour clinics includes use of driving range, chipping and putting areas and equipment. Clinic topics include The Golf Swing - Driving for Distance, Women's Golf for Beginners, The Short Game - Sand. Designed for 6 - 8 individuals with like interests. Taught by PGA/LPGA professionals with more than 20 years experience. $75 per person
Properly Fit Equipment
Over the years we see many students come to Academy programs or take private lessons with clubs that are not properly fit for them. These clubs instead of helping the golfer play their best actually make it more difficult. When a student says, “Until I play better I’m not getting new clubs,” the answer many times is, “You probably won’t play better until you get new clubs.” The Academy’s golf professionals know how to properly fit woods, irons and hybrids. From beginners to more advance players Cleveland Metroparks Sleepy Hollow and Manakiki golf pro shops have clubs and fitting systems to make sure you achieve your best golf.
