Youth Golf Program Instructor

The Opportunity

The Back Nine Golf – Grand Haven has an immediate need for an enthusiastic Youth Golf Camp Coach to lead our fall and winter junior golf programs. This is a unique, highly flexible opportunity for someone who enjoys working with young golfers and wants the autonomy to build and run a youth golf program without the limitations of Michigan weather. Our camps are designed to help young golfers learn the game, improve their skills and have fun in an engaging indoor environment.

What You’ll Do

• Lead approximately 2 hours of youth golf programming each week
• Plan and run engaging weekly practices and activities
• Teach golf fundamentals including full swing, short game, putting, course management and basic golf etiquette
• Create programming appropriate for different ages and skill levels
• Use games, competitions and challenges to keep kids engaged
• Help developing golfers build confidence and a love for the game
• Provide instruction and feedback appropriate to each golfer’s ability
• Have the freedom to develop and evolve the program throughout the season

Your Facility

You’ll have access to The Back Nine Grand Haven’s Indoor Golf Facility and technology to build the program around, including:

• The same Full Swing technology trusted by many of the best players in the world
• Full Swing Pro 2.0 Simulators
• Wellputt Putting Surface

No weather cancellations, no shortened practices and no Michigan winter standing between the kids and golf.

Who We’re Looking For

We care more about your ability to teach, connect with kids and create a great golf experience than we do about a specific title or certification. Strong candidates could include:

• Golf teaching professionals
• PGA or LPGA Professionals or Associates
• Current or former collegiate golfers
• High school or junior golf coaches
• First Tee or other youth golf instructors
• Teachers or educators with a strong golf background
• Experienced golfers with a passion for developing young players

Previous experience working with youth is strongly preferred.

This Isn't a Position Where We'll Hand You a Script and Ask You to Follow It

We'll provide the facility, technology, equipment and support. We're looking for the right coach to bring the golf knowledge, energy and ideas. You'll have significant autonomy to determine how the camps are structured, what the kids work on and how we make the program better throughout the fall and winter.

Our Goal Is Simple

Create a program kids can’t wait to come back to each week — while helping them become better golfers.

Schedule

The position is intentionally designed to be compatible with another job, coaching position, school schedule or existing lesson business.
