Getting Started

1-Hour Evaluation. All Students at the Rock Barn Golf Academy start with a 1-Hour Evaluation. In our first meeting we discuss your goals and where you would like to see improvement. We use video analysis to take an in depth look into your swing. We will design a game plan to get you on the path to better golf!

Birdie Program

5 Hours of Instruction. Ideal for a golfer looking to tweak some major issues, the Birdie Program gives you and your coach the opportunity to look at your game, and address any major flaws, and come up with a plan of attack without forcing too much information in a short time frame.

Par Program

3 Hours of Instruction. For someone looking to maintain the level of golf they are currently playing at, or for making some minor changes to an already solid game, the Par Program provides an opportunity to make improvements to your game without making drastic changes.

Play with the Pro

9 Holes. This is the perfect program for the golfer looking to get lower scores from their round by better understanding the course management techniques used by the game’s greatest players. Would you like to score better even on those days when you are not hitting the ball that well? You will learn shot evaluation, target selection, and how to establish an effective pre-shot routine and improve your shot execution.

The information will be covered in a small group environment. This class has a low student/teacher ratio of 3:1. With the Pros guidance through playing 9 holes on the course, you will finally learn how to manage your game and improve your scores.

By pairing up a weaker player with a stronger one, children can learn and watch a better player play the game while helping out to win their match against teams of other golf courses and clubs.
