A place where friendship, fun, and learning can all be enjoyed through the game of golf.
Our Story
Founded by Tim Stewart and Jamie Arnold, two accomplished golfers with PGA tour experience, GHA was born out of a shared passion for golf and a vision to make the sport accessible to the next generation and their families.
We opened our doors in 2024 with the aim of not just teaching golf, but also teaching valuable life lessons through sport. This golf “home” is a testament to our love of the game and commitment to creating a welcoming environment for the golf champs of tomorrow.
Our Motivation
What drives us? Providing a social environment where kids of all backgrounds can access the game of golf and have fun while doing it. We believe there are strong life lessons to be learned from golf, and the sport is something parents and their kids can bond over. We envision Golf House Academy as a cornerstone in the world of junior golf, fostering appreciation for the sport and shaping well-rounded individuals who excel both in golf and outside of it.
