Genesis Spring Junior Golf Academy

Genesis Golf has been at the forefront of junior golf development, since 2017. We specialize with juniors of all types and introducing the game at a very young age. Our teaching ratio is the best around, with no more than a 4-to-1 ratio for our classes. We are also more accommodating than other organizations, as a community-oriented small business. Spring is almost here and we have an exciting lineup for Junior Golfers. Director of Instruction, Blake Testerman will be leading our juniors into a fun-filled spring 8-week series to get “Get Golf Ready,” for the summer season!

Beginner Golf 101: 8-Week Introductory Classes

If you child has no experience, this is a great way to spark a new interest and gain a strong foundation in golf basics and safety.  These classes will be taught in our open classroom using PGA endorsed SNAG equipment.  SNAG equipment is great for those that are learning because they are large, oversized clubs combined with tennis balls, making striking success that much easier.  With our small class sizes, we are able to pay special attention to every student to make sure no one is left behind.  The main goal for us is to discover an interest for the game along with making new friends in a fun environment. This is a good foundation to prepare students for our Winter Academy and for early elementary-aged children.

Sample Class Schedule: this is for non Pee Wee classes, with Pee Wee aged kids we may take more time on the foundations and not get to the full swing

  • Weeks 1-2: Putting
  • Weeks 3-4: Chipping
  • Weeks 5-6: Pitching
  • Weeks 7-8 Full Swing

Pee Wees: Ages 5-7    Elementary: 8-11+    Cost: $150/student

If you child has completed one of our introductory classes or another golf program, this is the next step for them.  The program follows a curriculum established by our Director of Instruction, Blake Testerman.  Students in this academy will utilize the entire facility during their time with us.  We will take the basic knowledge that they have of the game and build on that in every aspect.  They will gain knowledge of the 4 swings used in golf along with basic knowledge of rules and on course etiquette.
