Over the past decade, the Mistwood junior programs have a legacy of helping student athletes achieve their goal of playing college golf. Every player’s goals are unique and our staff is dedicated to guiding each individual player on a path to meet their goals.
Our coaches are dedicated to ensuring our students and parents are making the best choices in the recruitment process. We routinely talk to college coaches and recruiters to better guide our staff and players on the proper steps. We’ve found the process is different from school to school, division to division, and coach to coach.
College Friends of the Program:
Regularly our staff makes the effort to talk with coaches on both the men’s and women’s side at all NCAA levels to be mentored on best practices. These coaches share their opinions on recruiting, ideal player make-up, stories from their programs, and also, some tips to help better prepare our juniors for the college game. Stay tuned regularly to our Mistwood Golf Club YouTube channel, and the “College Coach Connection” playlist.
