The Mike Bender Golf Academy is based in Florida at the Magnolia Plantation Golf Club in Lake Mary. This facility just north of Orlando offers a couple of golf programs for juniors. One is aimed at beginners and intermediate-level players, while the other is focused on competitive players who want to compete in tournaments.
Kids aged 5 and 13 can attend the beginner and intermediate camp, while the improver program is open to 10 to 18 year olds. Whichever you choose, kids are in good hands as Mike Bender has received previous awards for being one of the top golf instructors in the USA.
The Mike Bender Golf Academy offers the latest technology to analyze their swings, a ratio of 5 students per instructor, and a rounded program including fitness and mental agility training. Teamwork, sportsmanship, and tolerance are also positively encouraged, as is attending a 3 or 6-week camp for the best results.
Boarding and day camps are available, and the former include gender-specific accommodation at Fountain Park. This gated community also offers a fitness center and a pool for the campers.
