Junior Players Golf Academy on Hilton Head Island

- Orlando, Florida
The Junior Players Golf Academy calls itself a boutique golf academy, and it is a different kind of program from the resort camps around the island: a full-time school for junior golfers, based on Hilton Head Island with a second location in Orlando. For quick lessons and weeks of camp, see Hilton Head golf lessons.
Junior Golf Academy Programs
The core program is a nine-month full-time academy, with a post-graduate or gap-year program alongside it. For shorter stays it runs summer camps, spring break camps, holiday camps, and a UK invitational camp. The academy also offers college consultation, and says its players compete in AJGA, Optimist, and Hurricane Junior Golf Tour events.
Training, Fitness, and School
Training uses TrackMan and the V1 video coaching system, and fitness work follows a Titleist Performance Institute program combined with cardio. Academics run through partner schools, which the academy says have a 100 percent college acceptance rate. Boarding students live in cottages near the beach with supervision and house parents, as the academy describes it.
Full-Time Academy or Camp?
The choice depends on the goal. A camp or a week of clinics suits a junior who is trying golf or improving over a vacation. The resort programs are a good fit for that, at the Sea Pines Golf Learning Center and the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy. A full-time academy is a commitment for a player working toward college golf. The Island Golf School, which offers lessons and schools on Hilton Head courses and points junior players to this academy, is covered on the golf lessons page.
Contacting the Academy
The academy lists two phone numbers, 843-686-3355 and 1-800-772-6325, and an online form to request a consultation. Because it is a full-time program, expect to talk it through rather than book a slot online.
