WINTERGREEN, Va. (Feb. 4, 2014) – The Golf Academy at Wintergreen Resort and Nike Golf Camps will pair up again for the 2014 season with a week of exciting and educational golf instruction geared for junior age golfers. Enrollment for the August 3-7 session is now open and limited to 24 golfers (16 overnight campers and eight extended day or day campers)
Located in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Wintergreen Resort is blessed with two beautiful championship golf courses – Devils Knob on Wintergreen Mountain and Stoney Creek below in the Rockfish Valley.
Wintergreen Golf Academy’s experienced staff of PGA Professional instructors will focus on core skills including full swing fundamentals and short game shots of putting, pitching, chipping and sand play.
Taking the game to the golf course is included in the weeklong program. Instructors will spend time with students to help them learn to build a pre-shot routine, navigate uneven lies and learn course management.
Golf camps are available with three types of pricing: overnight ($1050), extended day ($850) and day ($600). The low instructor to student ratio makes this program ideal for juniors who favor a personalized learning environment.
Wintergreen Resort accommodations are ideal for families and include 270 villa-style condominiums and rental homes, from studio suites to seven-bedroom homes, each offering fully equipped kitchen and comfortable living area, most with fireplaces and a balcony or deck.
