What you need to know:

Please read the below list to ensure you have the best experience possible on the course! We can’t wait to see you!

Kevin Chin Golf Instruction reserves scheduled lesson and program times specifically for each student or group. To keep scheduling fair for all families, students, and instructors, please review the cancellation policy before booking.

Private and Semi-Private Lessons

Private and semi-private lesson cancellations or reschedule requests must be made at least 24 hours in advance.

If you cancel or request to reschedule with less than 24 hours’ notice, the lesson may be forfeited and no credit, refund, or makeup lesson will be provided.

Students may manage eligible reschedule requests through the booking system when available, or by contacting Kevin Chin Golf Instruction directly.

Group Classes, Camps, and Junior Programs

Kevin Chin Golf group classes, camps, and junior programs are scheduled in advance and require staffing, space, and program planning. If a student misses a class or camp session for personal reasons, no credit, refund, or makeup session will be provided.

Group programs may continue in light rain or modified weather conditions when it is safe to do so. If weather conditions require Kevin Chin Golf Instruction to cancel a group class before it begins, students may be eligible to make up the time by attending another available group session of the same length or shorter.

Once a class or session has begun, it is generally not cancelled unless conditions become unsafe.

Weather-Related Cancellations

Weather decisions are made by Kevin Chin Golf Instruction based on safety, course conditions, and program format. If a class, camp, or group session is cancelled due to weather, notice will be posted on KevinChinGolf.com and/or communicated through the appropriate contact method.

When possible, weather-affected group sessions may be made up through another eligible group session, subject to availability.

No-Show Policy

Students who do not attend a scheduled lesson, class, camp, or program without advance notice will be considered a no-show. No-shows are not eligible for a refund, credit, or makeup session.

Questions

For cancellation, rescheduling, or weather-related questions, please contact Kevin Chin Golf Instruction before your scheduled session.

FAQ & Description

All Junior programs
● We accommodate any level. We have a chipping green, putting green, driving range and also use of the Lake Isle golf course (when available).
● Junior groups may combine and/or overlap with different age groups.
● In the event of inclement weather we are prepared to spend up to approximately 25% of
the lesson time on material such as putting, learning the rules and etiquette of golf, score keeping, and/or watching golf educational content (YouTube, golf current events, golf trivia, etc.). However, because the weather is unpredictable and there may be bad weather for more than 25% of the lesson time, we may cancel classes and/or hold classes in bad weather under the canopy. For example, if there has been no rain Monday through Thursday, chances are Friday of that week will be held no matter how bad the weather. It’s possible we could cancel because of bad weather.
● Cancelled camps can come to another group to make up the time.
● If you miss on your own, we do not allow make ups.
● We have a snack bar that accepts cash or credit cards.
● We don’t provide transportation.

For summer camps
PGA interns working towards their PGA status typically run these programs, assisted by our staff. The typical breakdown in what we do in a week is as follows (This is in no way a guarantee. This just a general idea):
● The first day of the week is mostly spent reviewing safety protocols, range etiquette, and (depending on course availability) on-course etiquette and pace of play. We also cover the logistics of where bathrooms are, snack bar, lounge areas etc.
● 30% on course (if available); 5% exercises (typical during weather delays)
● 25% range
● 30% short game (chipping + putting) (typical during weather delays)
● 10% golf trivia, rules and etiquette (typical during weather delays)

Programs led by staff during the school year:
These groups are a great opportunity for your child to get on the golf course, have fun, make friends, and build confidence. These programs have produced plenty of high level golfers, but our main goal is that they have fun and want to come back. This is not a mechanics driven instructional program. If you want that please check out private, semi-private lessons or groups that work directly with Kevin. Some students may like doing both a group with staff and a group with Kevin. Most of the staff are former participants in our programs and/or students of Kevin. You can check their bio’s on our staff page. They typically are high school age.

Groups taught by Kevin:
We are starting this program for those of you who haven’t been able to find availability on Kevin’s lesson schedule or kids that want more instruction than our other junior programs offer. These groups are for 2 to 4 students, are taught by Kevin, and run for longer periods than most of our other programs. This gives Kevin flexibility to cater to the students’ individual goals. (If there are 2 or less students, lesson time will be shorter).
