Lana, French Golf Expert Camp
5/5

I attended the camp this summer, and it was truly an enriching experience. The setting is beautiful and ideal for both learning French and practicing golf. The French lessons are dynamic and very interactive, allowing me to improve my level while having fun. I particularly appreciate the activities that allow me to apply what I learn in real-life situations, making the learning more concrete and lively. As for golf, the sessions are tailored to my level, and the coaches are very attentive. I am delighted with this experience and excited to see even more progress, both in French and in golf." Let me know if this works for you or if you'd like to adjust anything!

Our 13-year-old son participated in the Golf & English camp this summer, and it was a fantastic experience! He made great progress in golf thanks to high-quality training, while improving his English in a fun and engaging environment. The program was perfectly balanced between sports and learning, and he loved meeting children from all over the world. We highly recommend this camp!

"An incredible experience! The training was top-notch, and I learned so much in just one week. The personalized feedback and use of Trackman technology really helped me refine my technique. The coaches were knowledgeable and supportive, and I loved the atmosphere. It was a great opportunity not only to improve my golf game but also to meet new people and practice my French. I highly recommend this camp to any young golfer!"

My 9-year-old child attended a two-week tennis-golf camp last year and absolutely loved it. I highly recommend this camp for its multi-sport activities. Additionally, the meals were well-organized, and the kids could enjoy the pool. Parents don’t need to worry—just drop the kids off in the morning and pick them up in the evening!

I came from Ireland to Prime Golf Academy for a gap year to improve my golf and acquire French language skills. I stayed for 3 incredible years! During this time, my golf handicap improved from 10 to -1, I became completely bilingual in French and I was able to join a highly reputable golf team at USC (University of Southern California).

After spending three extraordinary years at Prime Golf Academy, I successfully earned a 100% golf scholarship to California State University, Fullerton. Thank you to Stéphane and his team for this incredible life experience that shaped my future exactly as I had always dreamed.

A big thank you to Stéphane for taking my golf game to the next level. I was amazed by the level of expertise. The biomechanical analysis with force plates, 3D video, and Trackman analysis really helped me understand why I was repeating the same mistakes and, most importantly, correct them easily.

I had a great time during my lessons, and I want to say a big thank you to Pierre, who was an amazing teacher. I loved learning with him, and he really motivated me to keep improving in this sport. I plan to come back next summer, as I do every year, and I’ll be happy to schedule my golf lessons with Pierre again.

Pleasant coaches with advice that can be applied immediately. A lot of progress in a short period of time. I plan to continue assiduously.

Denis Ja.
5/5

As a golf enthusiast, I love exploring all aspects to perform at my best: swing mechanics, physical and mental training. I must say, Stéphane's team is the best. Stéphane's teaching level is truly remarkable. Regular sessions with Teddy, the physical coach, have really taken my body to a new level of performance. And regular sessions with Julien, the mental coach, have significantly improved my competition performance. I highly recommend Prime Golf Academy for its expertise. It's hard to find better anywhere else!

My son wanted to try golf, and I’m very happy we found Prime Sports Academy. He attended a semi-intensive 3-week camp, followed by a Golf Expert camp for a week, and managed to get his first handicap. Pierre, his coach, was really great!

For 3 weeks, we stayed on the French Riviera, and our children attended their golf camp at Prime Golf Academy. They had a truly wonderful time and loved their coach. The many educational tools used made the camp really fun, and the children made great progress. Thank you to Stéphane and the entire team for their availability and great advice.

James R.

I really enjoyed the Prime Academy Golf Expert course and the level of training, which is why I decided to enroll in the full-time golf & school program a year later. In Martinique, we don't have that level of coaching. I am very grateful for this experience and the progress I have made.

I attended the Prime Golf Academy for a 4-week golf and French camp, and it was truly amazing! After returning to Ireland, I participated in a golf tournament and lowered my handicap from 27 to 15!

Julien Raya
5/5

As a former student of Prime Golf Academy, I can confidently say that the academy played a major role in the development of my golf game and personal growth. The combination of elite coaching, a personalized tournament schedule, and access to cutting-edge technology like the Trackman system truly enhanced my skills. The mental coaches and fitness programs were game-changers, helping me manage the pressure of competition. I left with not only a stronger game but also invaluable experience that prepared me for future challenges in golf and beyond.

Stéphane Damiano's approach is unique in that it does not rely on tricks and tips, often presented by many golf coaches as miracle solutions. At Prime Sport Academy, we focus on consistent work, based on listening, expertise, and the ability to create a tailored development plan.

"Prime Golf Academy gives us the opportunity to spend less time in school so we can play more golf. I’m taking full advantage of this and will soon be going to the USA to continue my studies while still playing golf competitively."

My two children love tennis and golf and practice both sports throughout the year. I was thrilled to find this camp, and the kids absolutely loved it. They had a fantastic time with the Prime Academy!

Alison K.
5/5

I had difficulties with my swing for many years and Stéphane did some physical tests, and we realized that the coaches were asking me to do what my body could not do, which is why I had never had consistency. Stéphane adjusted my swing according to my physical condition, then Teddy, the fitness coach, established a simple daily routine so that I could rectify these limitations. Within a month, I really saw the difference. An extremely competent team. Thank you

Colette O. 🇫🇷

We want to thank Prime Golf Academy. Our grandson did several weeks of golf camps. He made a lot of progress and the most important is that he started to love golf. It was a real fun for him. Now we can play together with him.
