Player Development

Programs for every golfer, juniors and adults alike. Youth development is at the heart of the academy, starting with our own Level Up group program for kids ages 5 to 15, and adults get the same path to a better game through lessons, the Game Changer Plan, and leagues.

What We Do

Growing Players, Not Just Swings

Player development is a big part of who we are. From a junior's first swings to high school varsity, and from adult beginners to single-digit handicaps, we coach in small groups and one-on-one, with TrackMan data and video so every player can see their progress week to week.

Kids ages 5 to 15 learn in group lessons through our own Level Up program. Kids learn better in a group: it's less intense, it's more fun, and 50 minutes of swinging one-on-one is a lot to ask of a young attention span. Starting at age 14, juniors can move on to private lessons, where older juniors and adults work on full-swing technique, short game, course management, and the mental side of competing.

  • Level Up Group Lessons

    Our own program for kids ages 5 to 15: small-group sessions in the academy, plus on-course days so kids put their skills to work on a real course.

  • Trade In & Trade Up

    Kids grow fast. We measure your junior, fit them in U.S. Kids Golf clubs on a yearly lease, and re-measure and swap clubs after a growth spurt at no extra charge.

  • Private Coaching

    One-on-one lessons for adults, and for juniors starting at age 14. School-age players get 25% off private individual lessons.

  • Teams

    First Tee and high school team coaching run through our doors too.

  • Adults, Too

    Player development isn't just for kids. Adults get the same coaching path: private lessons, the Game Changer Plan for lessons plus practice time every month, and leagues to put it all to work.

Kids Trade In & Trade Up

In partnership with U.S. Kids Golf

Getting kids started in the RIGHT size clubs for them. With the Trade-In Trade-Up program, we make sure your junior golfer has the right-sized clubs by measuring them at the start. If they hit a growth spurt, we'll re-measure and adjust their clubs, no questions asked. The program runs as a yearly lease: after the first year we reassess the clubs for proper fit and either renew the lease or, if you choose not to continue, you simply return the clubs. No hassle.

  • Club sizes from 39" (about age 2) up to 63" (about the teen years)
  • $150 per year, or $125 for students of Tilbury Golf Academy
  • Growth-spurt re-measures and club adjustments included
  • Renew the lease each year or just return the clubs
