Deerfield Small Group Summer Golf Camps

Our Small Group Summer Camps will replace our Full and Half Day Camps for 2021. These sessions will be run by our professional staff and will include a series of instructional segments each day in addition to time on the golf course with a coach. The instruction portion of these classes will be broken into small skill stations that will consist of drills and exercises focused on full swing, short game and putting. We will also discuss etiquette and rules as we prepare the golfers for time on the golf course. All these classes will maintain a 4:1 coach to teacher ratio to ensure social distancing practices, as necessary. If you have a group of four friends that would like to create a group, we may be able to create a custom time/schedule for you. Contact Derek@deerfieldgolf.org for more information.
