What Our Campers Say
I loved my experience and thought the facilities were beautiful. The driving range was great and the coaches were awesome. I hope to be able to experience this awesome camp again.
The facilities and coaching were excellent, I received personal attention providing a better understanding of my swing mechanics to maximize power for both my iron play and long-game.
I went to IMG for three weeks and after coming home my coach couldn't believe how much I improved. The coaches at IMG are really supportive and I can't wait to go back.
