Junior golfers will create wonderful memories at TPC Louisiana, an award-winning, 18-hole championship course complete with extensive practice areas.
Home of the PGA TOUR’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans, TPC Louisiana is part of the Audubon Golf Trail, stretching over 250 acres of wetlands along the Mississippi River delta. TPC Louisiana was named “the #4 best upscale public golf course” by Golf Digest in 2004 and is consistently included in Golf Week’s “Best Courses You Can Play.” The five sets of tees offer young golfers of all skill levels a great blend of challenge and playability.

To be the best, you must learn from the best. That’s why every junior golf camp instructor has been trained and tested in all aspects of the game by the PGA of America. Our promise–is to support, encourage, and respect each and every one of our campers and authentically inspire them to reach their full potential, both on and off the golf course.
Matt Williamson, PGA - Camp Director
- Teaching Philosophy – My objective in teaching is to help all of my students improve their skills and provide the knowledge to them so they understand more about their game.
- When scheduling the first lesson, I try to get as much information about the student as possible by asking a few simple questions. What made you decide to take a lesson? What would you like to accomplish during this lesson? How often to you play and practice? Do you have any physical limitations that could affect your golf swing?
- I believe that there are core areas to focus on in the beginning: Grip, Alignment, Posture
Patrick O' Donnell - Camp Co-Director
- My objective in teaching the game of golf is to help improve the students skills and knowledge of the game. I surround my teaching objectives around the students goals, expectations, knowledge of the game and exceeding those three by relating helpful information with a positive mindset.
- My goal in each session is to relate with the student and creating an atmosphere where the student and I are comfortable talking about the golf swing.
- Grip, posture, and alignment are to me the most important to the start of a great golf swing. Followed up by weight transfer into a great finishing pose. The plane in the back swing can dictate where the golf ball will go, will also determine a proper striking impact.
- Lastly, I take the approach of a past golf professional that had taught me, in KISS. Keep it simple stupid. I look forward to working with you.
