2 Day Golf School & 3 Night Stay at a Beautiful Cottage on Maple Lake

A great opportunity to get away from the city and work on your golf game in the beauty of the Haliburton Highlands. Have CPGA Golf Instructor Gary Kent analyze your game and show you how to improve your overall enjoyment, and score!

This program is designed to elevate your game to the next level by building confidence through preparation and knowledge of how to take your practice to the course.

On the first morning, Gary will do an assessment of the golfers overall games. A plan will be made for each player‘s improvement. Gary will work with the golfers in the short game, long game and Par 3 areas at the golf school. That afternoon, the golfers will apply their newly acquired skills to the golf course while playing 18 holes at Blairhampton.

On the second day, we will do an assessment of the game you played, and make the necessary adjustments with Gary at the school. Then the players will go back to the golf course that afternoon.

An excellent program for any level of player.
