Program Overview
More than golf lessons — a girls-only development experience
The Girls Golf LPGA * USGA | Teach Girls Golf | Academy Series is a premium girls golf development program designed to help girls build confidence, leadership, athletic skills, and a lifelong connection to the game of golf.
Powered by the mission of LPGA*USGA Girls Golf — a global movement serving more than 90,000 girls through programs focused on empowerment, confidence, and life skills through golf — the Academy Series combines structured golf instruction with mentorship, community, and personal growth in a supportive girls-only environment.
Unlike traditional junior golf lessons, the Academy Series is designed specifically for girls ages 5–13 and creates a fun, encouraging atmosphere where players can learn the game while developing confidence both on and off the course.
What Makes The Academy Series Different
4 Weeks. Clubs Included.
We believe girls should be able to start golf without barriers. Every Academy Series registration includes:
No clubs? No problem. The Academy Series provides starter clubs for every session so girls can begin golf without any equipment investment. Clubs stay with the program — they are not provided as take-home equipment. Families who want a home set can purchase a fitted starter set at a discounted academy rate, or bring clubs she already owns.

More Than Golf
Skills that last a lifetime
Golf teaches much more than swing mechanics. Through the Academy Series, girls develop:
- Confidence
- Resilience
- Leadership
- Sportsmanship
- Focus
- Communication
- Decision-making
- Goal setting
At Teach Girls Golf, we believe golf is one of the most powerful tools for helping girls grow both athletically and personally.

Why Families Love Girls Golf
Built on what parents value most

The Academy Series was built with those priorities in mind.
