Little Linkers is described as a developmental, skill-building program that focuses on helping kids develop their athleticism and learn the game of golf. Little Linkers Practice and Play is split between on-course 9-hole play and practice sessions on state-of-the-art academy holes and the driving range. Junior Linkers Practice and Play integrates instruction, course management strategies, competitive play, and personalized mentorship. The Little Linkers Development Tour and Junior Linker Development Tour both focus on intro to stats tracking, course management, and improving scores.
Competitive Pre-Teen is for young athletes identified as advanced players for their age group who have expressed interest in or are currently participating in a competitive golf environment. NCIG College Prep is a holistic coaching program that includes monthly private lessons, group training and play, as well as remote coaching, and is described as the most competitive NCIG program. NCIG College Prep is designed for serious golfers excelling in their age group who are in the Learn to Compete and Compete to Win development phases and runs from February through November.
Half Day Camps are designed to inspire new golfers at the beginning of their journey and to further the development of those playing at a beginner to intermediate level, with participants segmented into smaller groups based on experience and age. Modified Full Day Camps are for advanced beginner to intermediate golfers to continue improving technical skills while beginning to understand course management, shot selection, and simple stat tracking, with participants segmented into small groups based on experience level, and lunch and course play included unless otherwise noted. Full Day Camps are for intermediate to advanced junior golfers to continue improving technical skills and develop understanding of course management, shot selection, rules, and etiquette, with participants segmented into smaller groups based on ability level and age, and afternoon supervised course play to apply techniques learned on the range; Full Day Camps do not include lunch.
The Summer Camp Programs are led by PGA Professionals, and the camp curriculum focuses on developing golf skills in full swing, short game, rules, and etiquette through games and activities. The program states that its camps provide a fun, safe, and educational environment designed with each child’s well-being in mind. The coaches have played against and coached some of the best players in the world.
The Haggin Oaks Golf Complex, where these programs are based, is described as America’s Most Awarded Golf Facility and has the largest and best-stocked pro shop in the United States, with numerous awards including the Golf World Top Public Golf Shop Award. The complex includes two championship golf courses regularly voted Sacramento’s favorite, a world-class teaching facility with over 15 golf professionals, and a driving range with Toptracer Range technology that tracks every shot and provides instant feedback, staying open until midnight from April through October. The complex also offers the Arcade Creek layout as a more flexible, beginner-friendly golf course where players can choose 9 or 18 holes with fewer hazards and less difficulty than the championship Alister MacKenzie course, and it provides a three-hole academy site used by the First Tee Program, the Special Olympics, and other special programs for golfers with disabilities.
