• Schedule: Golf classes and instruction are offered every day; Tiny Tees classes are held each Saturday and Sunday morning, and each Tiny Tees class is 45 minutes. The Golf Course Tune-Up consists of a 45-minute lesson, video swing analysis includes a 90-minute lesson, and the Swing & Play Like a Pro series is offered for 8 or 4 hours.
Tiny Tees is part of Journey Junior Golf Academy and is the course’s most highly attended series of classes. Tiny Tees is one of the only programs in Southern California that allows children as young as three years old to get on the course and learn proper grip, stance, and swing with real golf clubs and golf balls. Average Tiny Tees class size varies from 3 to 6 juniors with a 3:1 student to teacher ratio, and each Tiny Tees class is segmented into level one and level two based on each child’s skill. Classes are kept small, and Journey Junior Golf Academy children often receive individual attention during the 45-minute sessions. Parents are invited to watch the instruction so they know the lesson plan from each class and what the student should work on for the following week.
Journey Junior Golf Academy provides professional group golf instruction to children up to age 18, and kids are segmented based on their golfing abilities and graduate to the next level as their skills grow. Journey at Pechanga’s PGA pros teach golf students of any level, with instruction for children through adults of any age. Through the Journey Golf Academy, five instruction options are available, including group lessons for golfers of all skill levels that cover the basics of golf in a group setting with golf clubs and range balls included. Group lessons for older teenagers and adults include golf clubs and range balls.
The online golf academy includes a personal video portal, comprehensive online video analysis and member tune up, an L2L Golf Swing System step-by-step manual, monthly video lesson downloads, personal improvement tracking with a Goals and Objectives section, and email and text communication with instructors with a response guaranteed within 24 hours. Online academy members receive one 45-minute video analysis tune up per month or one full day golf school per year, discounts on golf and range balls at Journey Golf Academy, four free video swing analysis certificates for family and friends, and a monthly newsletter with updates, student progress, and tournament schedules.
The leadership team includes Head PGA Golf Instructor at Journey, Randy Chang; PGA pro and Director of Golf at Journey, Scott Mallory; and Head Golf Professional, Bill Crist. Head PGA Golf Instructor Randy Chang states that in order to grow the game of golf, a new generation of players must be exposed to and have access to it.
