On Par Golf Academy

The On Par Golf Academy gives Wish Kids and their siblings and / or friends the opportunity to learn how to play golf for FREE when you register through Children’s Wishes.

Started in 2017,  the On Par Golf Academy brings the game of golf to our Wish Families in a supportive, encouraging environment where we teach sportsmanship, along with other life skills, while enjoying beautiful golf courses.

For those not familiar with golf, “par” is the word used to describe the number of strokes expected to finish a hole. In real life, “par” denotes the concept of “equal value.” The On Par Golf Academy offers a fun, relaxed atmosphere where everyone can focus on simply doing their best, regardless of skill level.

On Par programs run year-round with Children’s Wishes families having access to clinics, instructional leagues, Summer camps, golf simulators and private lessons at Coventry Pines (On Par South) or Button Hole (On Par North.) Discounted play with an adult is available at our parent course, Coventry Pines, based on upon availability.
