Saddlebrook Preparatory School for Young Golfers
A tradition of excellence in education, golf training, competitive play, and college preparation
Arnold Palmer's personal goal is to develop young golfers fundamentally, physically and mentally, and we accomplish this at Saddlebrook Preparatory School. Junior golfers come to Saddlebrook Prep to help achieve their goals of playing on the pro tour, receiving a Division I NCAA scholarship, or developing the techniques to become a quality golfer while building integrity and character. Students in grades 2-12 now have a program which immerses them totally in golf and academic training. This unique school combines a full time, accredited college preparatory education with instruction from Arnold Palmer Golf Academy professionals. The performance-based curriculum is tailored to each individual student, who receives 5 hours of classroom study and 4 1/2 hours of golf and fitness daily.
