VIP Experience
A premium golf performance experience at Golden Ocala: private coaching, championship golf, and luxury lodging, planned end to end.
A complete golf performance retreat.
The VIP GOLF EXPERIENCE pairs a stay at the World Equestrian Center with personalized golf coaching from PGA Coach Patrick Leahy at Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club, just steps from the World Equestrian Center hotels. Guests book through our two lodging experiences (see options HERE); the coaching experience is the added amenity that elevates the stay.
Instead of a lesson on a range, you get an intensive built around how you actually play, skill, decisions, and emotional control, on one of Florida's most celebrated championship courses, with tee times and logistics coordinated for you.
- Executives and business owners who want a structured reset for their game
- Serious juniors and families travelling in for focused development
- Private groups, twosomes and foursomes assembled by you
- Competitive players who have plateaued and need a system
Everything built around your game.
