Golf camp at IMG Academy
IMG Academy golf camps train athletes of all levels on how to better manage their game while learning the necessary fundamentals and strategies that set players apart from their competition. IMG’s expert coaching staff introduces all aspects of the game, including chipping, putting, and driving, while also sharing the same advice that has prepared some of the top PGA and LPGA professionals.
All golf campers receive coaching analysis and feedback during the program to ensure players have unlimited access to detailed instruction within one, consistent platform.

A perfect option for youth golfers or for families on vacation in the Sarasota and Bradenton area, many on- and off-campus housing options are available for adults and families, including the Legacy Hotel, The Lodge, Academy Park Villas, Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota, Holiday Inn Express and Suites and more, including beachfront resorts.
