As a retired teacher wanting to learn to play golf, I found the coaches (Juniper, Justin, & Jayden) at Rancho Carlsbad to be super helpful and encouraging! I so appreciate their knowledge and expertise. They were able to create an engaging environment that made the learning process fun! I felt challenged, yet encouraged and learned something new every time. I look forward to continuing to learn the many nuances of the game of golf!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at the golf clinic for our 4-year-old son, Noah! The coaches were incredibly patient, kind, and full of energy—perfect for keeping young children engaged and excited.

Our child looked forward to every session and came home talking about how much fun he had. The environment was safe, welcoming, and very well-organized. We highly recommend this clinic to any parent looking to introduce their child to golf in a positive and encouraging way. A wonderful foundation for a lifelong love of the game!

Our 11-year-old had an exceptional first session at Rising Golfers Academy. The welcoming, knowledgeable, and patient coaches immediately made my child feel comfortable, even though he had only been learning golf for a couple of months.

The instructors’ balanced approach to structure and fun made every session purposeful but not overwhelming. Their passion for teaching golf and their commitment to building confidence and character were evident.

Over a few weeks, we saw significant progress in my child’s swing, short game, focus, and ability to take instruction. The positive reinforcement from the coaches made a huge difference.

The Rancho Carlsbad Golf Course, with its beginner-friendly atmosphere, provided a safe and supportive environment for learning. As our child improves, there was room for growth to match his progress.

The communication and organization were excellent. We knew the schedule, what to bring, and the goals for each session and monthly drills. The app tracked training, showed helpful drills, and tracked scores. On top of all that, there are on course 9-hole challenges every couple of weeks so the kids can try and advance to the next level. It really gives the kids a goal to work towards every practice session.

We’ve already signed up for the next session, and our child eagerly anticipates it. Highly recommend Rising Golfers Academy to parents seeking a positive, professional, and enjoyable introduction to golf for their children.

Mini-Golfers: Great engagement and fun activities to teach young golfers to learn to golf and have fun learning foundational skills. Games and catch-phrases are a great coaching tool that keeps kids’ interest. Weekend 9-hole challenges broaden their understanding of the game of golf and allow them real opportunities to practice what they learn in weekly lessons

Coaches: always very responsive via text and email, helpful, encouraging, engaging and patient, do well to attend to each individual child during practices.

My wife and I were looking for a golf class for our 6-year-old daughter and stumbled upon Op36 in Rancho Carlsbad. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed, and we're so grateful we decided to give it a try. The coaches are truly exceptional; their kindness and enthusiasm have sparked a genuine interest in golf for our daughter.

Even though it's a 35 to 40-minute drive from San Diego, we’re more than happy to make the journey because we see how much joy and positivity the coaches bring to each session. In just two months, our daughter’s improvement has been remarkable, and we deeply appreciate the dedication of the coaches who make learning so enjoyable. This program has been a wonderful experience for our family, and we want to express our heartfelt thanks to all the coaches for their support and encouragement. You've truly made a difference in our daughter's life!

We are so glad we found Raising Golfers Academy! We have done other golf programs and camps but our 11 year old daughter has enjoyed this one the most and has made the most progress. We started with the week long summer camp which she thought was fun. Their strategy of teaching the kids on the course is really effective along with the combination of weekly classes, one-on-one lessons and 9 hole challenges.

I recently enrolled my daughter in the Raising Golfers Golf Academy for 8 weeks program, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. The coaching staff of Coach Travis, Coach Tighe, Coach Bob and Coach Juniper was excellent throughout to create a fun and supportive learning environment that encourages children to excel in their golfing skills.

This Golf Academy is more than just a place to learn golf, it's a place where children can build confidence, develop skills, and have a fantastic time doing it. My daughter's improvement in golf and their overall growth has been remarkable since joining.

I highly recommend this academy to any parent looking to introduce their child to the world of golf in a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment.

I have been taking the Ladies golf lessons for a year.
This is a perfect class for anyone interested in learning the skills to play golf. The instructors are professionals, patient and break down the technique so you can clearly comprehend the language . Each instruction is thoughtfully broken down for a continuous development in your training. I highly recommend this course.

Taking lessons from Travis has improved my game dramatically. After six sessions, I was able to shave an average of over ten strokes off each round and am much more confident with my swing. Travis is very patient and his highly-thoughtful approach to teaching ensured that I could carry the changes we made on the range to the golf course.

It has been the best experience finding Travis! Talented, patient, encouraging and a dedicated teacher of golf mechanics and strategy, I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in his small group golf clinics as well as private one-on-one lessons. I highly recommend Travis’ golf program.

I started lessons with Travis late last year and have signed on for a second set of lessons. Even in a group setting he takes the time to instruct individually. The operation 36 is a different approach than what I have done in the past and was difficult for me to understand at first, but now makes perfect sense. Learn the short game first then move further out. Travis sets the tone for fun while learning. And what better way to improve your game than with a great instructor and a group of fun & outgoing ladies.

Travis helped improve my swing tremendously and allowed me to feel more confident on the course. He will invest in his students for the long term, avoiding any “quick fix” tips and starting from the ground up to maximize long term success and consistent improvement with your game. 10/10 recommend for students of all ages and skill levels.

Our 7 year old grandson took an interest in golf with encouragement from me and his dad. I knew that my instructions, or his dad's instructions, were not going to be sufficient for him to properly execute and have fun. So, one day, at Rancho Carlsbad, we noticed boys and girls his age on the putting green with all different sorts of activities that appeared to be focused on fun and on golfing skills. I inquired with Travis, the teaching pro, and he explained the Operation 36 program and his philosophy of orienting children to the game of golf. So, we enrolled our grandson, He looks forward to his Tuesday afternoon sessions as well as his Saturday nine hole challenges. I stick around and watch Travis' approach to the students and how he engages them and helps them master the basics of golf, the etiquette of golf, and most importantly, having fun with golf. Safety is always mentioned, as well. (I've even picked up a few pointers myself! ) I highly recommend Travis for anyone considering enrolling their child in a golf development program or for individual lessons.

We are so happy we were introduced to Coach Travis and the Operation 36 program at Rancho Carlsbad last Fall. I can't think of anyone better to introduce young kids to the game of golf in a friendly, supportive and engaging manner. Travis has a way with the kids that is unequaled, and all I see are smiles during his lessons. My son has been inspired to do more with golf now and his passion is contagious. Highly recommend.

Operation 36 has been a wonderful balance of fun and constructive teaching. We were looking for a positive environment for our son to channel his newly discovered interest in golf while also building meaningful friendships. We appreciate the well thought out curriculum, filled with clever games, to keep our son challenged and steadily growing. Travis gives a lot of positive reinforcement, meaningful incentives, and encouragement to motivate each child in the class. He also fosters teamwork and kindness within the group. Our son is loving this program and begs to golf every day!

I go to the driving range at Rancho Carlsbad a good amount, and occasionally get an opportunity to see one of the Raising Golfers Golf Academy classes. After seeing coach Travis’s enthusiasm and passion, along with how excited all the kids are in every class, I soon started bringing my 3 year old to the Saturday toddler classes. He is so excited every time we go. He starts off a little shy as soon as we get there, but quickly warms up and doesn’t want to leave at the end. I never thought I would have a preschooler learning golf, but that’s how fun and exciting Coach Travis makes these classes.

Side note: I started doing adult lessons with Coach Travis. I started playing a year and half ago and when I first signed up with him back in April, it would be a good day if I broke 100. Now in December I’m in the low 80’s.
