Kevin Chin Golf offers junior golf lessons, camps, and seasonal programs for kids and teens at Lake Isle Country Club in Eastchester, NY. Programs are designed for beginners, developing players, returning students, and juniors who want more time on the course in a safe, structured, and supportive environment.
Our junior programs focus on fun, safety, confidence, game-based learning, rules, etiquette, short game, full swing, putting, course awareness, and respect for the game. Some students are brand new to golf. Others have played for years. The goal is to help every junior golfer enjoy the game, build useful skills, and want to come back. Please refer to our philosophy page for a more in depth idea of our programs.
Kevin Chin Golf offers junior programs throughout the year, including spring golf groups, summer golf camps, fall golf groups, winter golf classes, Spring Break camp, Counselor in Training opportunities, Junior InterClub golf, and small groups taught directly by Kevin.
Who runs the program
Kevin typically runs all the winter indoor programs. Sometimes with assistants. All year long he also runs the Tuesday and Saturday groups from 430-6pm.
Summer Camps are run by our senior staff and assisted by our staff.
After school programs September through November and April are run by staff. May and June are run by senior staff and assisted by staff.
Parents Do Not Assist in Our Programs This is a drop-off program. If you wish to watch you must stay out of earshot. Absolutely no parents allowed on the golf course!
Instruction level
Programs run by staff– Fun game based learning. These programs are not what many consider instructional, even though many of the kids improve tremendously. It’s not mechanics driven.
Programs run by senior staff- These programs are a mix of fun game based learning and basic instruction.
Groups taught by Kevin– Kevin runs smaller groups that cater more to the individual. Some kids thrive playing on the course while others like to work on their mechanics on the range.
Buddy Program
The majority of the time your child will be grouped with kids of similar age, ability and temperament. There will also be times that we will merge different age groups to work together.
The program has been a big hit! It gives the older kids responsibility and increased attention, and the younger kids love having an older buddy to look up to.
We first got this idea from the Montessori model and a buddy program from the German International School. We spoke with the educators at these facilities to learn more and it has worked very well for our program.
This structure fosters natural peer learning, leadership development, and individualized learning progress.

The Counselor in Training program gives older juniors a pathway to develop responsibility, leadership, and communication skills, and to gain experience helping younger golfers.
Groups Taught by Kevin
Junior Golf Groups Taught by Kevin are small-group golf lessons for juniors who want more direct instruction than a larger staff-led program.
They are also a good option for families who have had trouble finding availability on Kevin’s private lesson schedule but still want their child to work directly with him.
