The ACE Program
The ACE Program is designed for more experienced and motivated participants who want to take both their golf skills and personal development to the next level.
It offers advanced golf instruction paired with deeper work in our life skills curriculum through four focused projects:
- Project 1: Enjoy Golf For Life
- Project 2: Plan For Life & Career Possibilities
- Project 3: Give Back to the Community
- Project 4: Explore Educational Opportunities
This program helps older kids and teens strengthen leadership, goal-setting, and character while continuing to grow through the game of golf. To learn more about the Ace Program click here.
