2025 SUMMER JUNIOR GOLF CAMP

In conjunction with the Richmond Hill Country Club Day Camp, our Golf Academy offers a summer junior golf camp that provides the best of both worlds, a half day of golf instruction, coupled with a half day of multi-sports activities!

Our Golf Camp is designed for junior golfers who have completed grade 1 through grade 7 and are either brand new to the game of golf or have some experience and are looking to advance their skills to the next level. Golf instruction takes place for 3 hours each day with the other half of the day spent participating in various sports as well as a daily recreational swim.  Lunch and snacks are included in all our camp programs.

Each 2 week summer camp session will cover all of the key fundamentals of golf including, grip, stance, posture & alignment. All major swing aspects including full swing, chipping, putting and bunker play will be covered thoroughly. Our CPGA instructors will conduct a daily review in the rules of golf and course etiquette to get campers comfortable for when they are ready to hit the links on their own.

Typical Golf Day

9:30 – 12:00 / Golf Instruction with our Pros
12:00 – 12:30 / Lunch (included in our fees)
12:30 – 3:00 / Multi-sports activities

REVIEWS

  • Donna, I wanted to let you know that Liam is playing on the CJGA Linkster tour which he joined last season finishing in the top 10 at all his tournaments! He is doing so well and loving every minute. Thank you for being such an instrumental influence in his young career. You gave him an opportunity to start learning at such a young age and we are so grateful for that. Thank you so much!

  • I started with Donna in the spring and have continued taking lessons with her ever since. I may not know a lot about golf but having been a teacher myself I know an excellent teacher when I work with one. She is patient and knowledgeable as well as being a wonderful human being.

    Susanne Egier - Richmond Hill, ON
  • This is my 5 star review on Donna Norman!  I have been receiving her words of golf wisdom, for probably 5 years.  Her love of the game comes through her lessons and she wants you to also feel this love with progress in the game.  Donna is patient and will go over the instruction until you not only get it, but feel it.  She is genuine, caring, honest, sincere and I just love her!!

    Linda Bishop
  • I was a bit skeptical about lessons, I wasn’t sure my golf game would improve all that much. Boy, was I wrong!. My iron game has drastically improved and I will continue to recommend you to my colleagues and peers who enjoy the game!

    Nelson S.
  • I really enjoyed my lesson with you! The change in mindset that you achieved has changed everything. I now feel like I know how to swing the club and I can simply focus on playing the game confidently. Thanks very much Donna!

    Dave H.
  • Just a comment on the assistance Donna Norman provided to me through supervised practice last winter. I'm seeing it in my game.  I hit the ball straighter and with more confidence, and my swing is easier and more natural. Donna’s approach was much more intuitive than I expected.  She provided some simple drills to help me change for the better, and I shot my first 90 at Richmond Hill this season! I will certainly be back to her for more help in the future, and will also recommend her to friends and family!

    Jay S.
  • Thank you so much for the golf lessons, Donna! I played yesterday and it was amazing to see how much progress I made with just two lessons! My score was about 20 shots lower than what I normally hit. I appreciate your help and patience! Thanks again!

    Moriah V.
  • Hi Donna, I played golf yesterday at Silver Lakes, and had my best game in years, thanks to my lessons with you!

    Michael F.
  • I just wanted to say thank you very much for the lessons, Donna.  I played the best I have all season and even more importantly felt great mentally and didn't try to do any technical swing fixes on the course

    Nick T.
  • Thank you so much for the golf lessons, Donna! I played yesterday and it was amazing to see how much progress I made with just two lessons! My score was about 20 shots lower than what I normally hit. I appreciate your help and patience! Thanks again!

  • I took an all day lesson with Donna at the Richmond Hill Golf Learning Centre. It was one of my BEST golf experiences of my life. I cannot recommend her more enthusiastically. I had to drive several hours to get there. Worth the effort. If you live in the GTA, what a gem of an instructor!

    Jason H.
  • Hi Donna, I played golf yesterday at Silver Lakes, and had my best game in years, thanks to my lessons with you!

    Michael F.
  • After a hopeless session on the driving range, I approached Allen and he has worked with me to get me back into a place of confidence. He has been a mentor providing informal advice not related to my swing, recently taking me through a fitting session to get me an ideal set of irons. Allen is just such a great coach, patient, observant, unhurried and effective. You are lucky to have him on staff!

    Greg M.
  • A great teacher should have the ability to understand that not all students are the same when it comes to learning. That is just one of the many talents that Aileen brings to the table. She teaches both myself and my husband. We are complete opposites when it comes to learning. And talent. Aileen immediately figured out how I would learn best. Keep it simple. She’s been able to turn someone with no athletic ability into a golfer who can play with more experience people, and hold my own. She’s given me confidence and the ability to fix things when stuff goes wrong on the course. Which is inevitable for someone at my level. Aileen is the absolute best and a lot of fun to work with.

    Sandra P.
  • I had a lesson with Aileen yesterday and wanted to provide some feedback. In a word, outstanding. I have taken many lessons over the years, in Canada and the US, and would rank Aileen one in the top three. She was able to quickly assess my current game, based on verbal history and  on-site observation and identify an area of focus with a couple of specific points to work on. I found her insights into my game quite refreshing and her delivery inspiring. Most of all, I appreciated her maturity. Her focus was entirely on me, and despite her substantial and impressive credentials, she only provided an anecdote of her game if it related to something that was relevant to mine. I think you have made a tremendous hire here and sincerely hope that many RHGC golfers benefit from her addition to your staff.

    Mark S.
  • Wow, Donna, what an amazing lesson that was today! Thank you again for being the wonderful instructor and person you are; you have instilled in me a real love for golf as well as help me strive to be a better beginner golfer.

    Shelley A.
  • Hi Donna, you have been so helpful.  Emma said when we left Saturday, "that was fun"! I was wowed with your approach and skill at teaching a seven year old.  Not many have that ability.

    Marsha K.
  • Hi Donna. I've been meaning to email and thank you for your help. My game has really improved and I'm hitting the ball a lot more consistently. I don't think I'm ready for the tour yet but it's certainly more fun. I won the longest drive at the 9 and dine last night. I'm definitely getting more yardage on all my shots.y short game still needs work but again, it's also improving.
