About

Training for juniors who compete

On-course playing lessons sit beside private instruction for juniors aiming to play college golf. Roger Pineda, a former Division I scholarship golfer at the University of the Pacific, diagnoses each player's swing, explains what has to change and builds the drills and practice routines that lock the changes in. He has guided high school golfers to college programs including Harvard, Yale and Princeton.

FAQ

Questions parents ask

Where is CAMPUS Academy Palo Alto?

CAMPUS Academy Palo Alto is at Baylands Golf Links, 1875 Embarcadero Rd, Palo Alto, CA 94303.

How much are lessons?

Lessons start at $115. Send your details to ask about current rates.

Is an academy right for my child?

An academy suits your child if they already compete or want to, and are ready to train every week. It fits juniors who enjoy practicing beside other competitive players. If your child only wants one-on-one coaching, private lessons may be the better choice.

Should my child take private lessons too?

Some players benefit from both. Academy sessions give regular practice and time with other juniors; a private lesson lets a coach focus on one thing, like a swing change. If you do both, make sure each coach knows what the other is working on.
