Salazar Golf Academy

The most trusted golf academy in Markham since 1996.

We offer a few different ways to learn at Salazar Golf Academy, depending on where you are in your game.

Junior Golf Camps are built for learning on the course, not just standing on a range.

Our Ladies’ Golf Program is designed to help women start properly, build confidence, and enjoy the game more.

Private coaching and clinics are for golfers who want focused instruction, clear feedback, and a plan to improve.

Everything runs at Markham Green Golf Club.

How to improve hip turn in golf. Hip turn golf drill.

A simple drill you can do at home to train better rotation and a more connected turn.

Hold the ball in front of the chest with the lead hand and rehearse the turn. It helps golfers feel more body rotation and less arm-dominant movement through the swing.

If the swing gets too armsy or restricted, this is a good place to start.

Why start kids in golf early?

Because golf builds confidence, resilience, patience, and strategic thinking. If you want your child to benefit from the game and grow through it, starting early make a difference.

It teaches kids how to recover from mistakes, make better decisions, and grow through practice. Those lessons stay with them far beyond the course.

If you want your child to gain from golf more than just a swing, our junior summer camp is now open for registration.

How do you hit a buried bunker shot?

Multiple attempts! Even the pro can get stuck there.

This is one of the hardest short game shots in golf.
Sometimes a hooded club and the right strike are what give you a chance.

Golf is not always pretty. That is why it is fun. Share this with the golfer who thinks bunker shots are easy.

How to start golf as a woman?
How to get comfortable on a golf course?
How to find people to play golf with?

These are the questions we hear all the time.

Most women don’t struggle with interest.
They struggle with what comes next.

Lessons help.
But then there’s a gap.

No plan.
No group.
No clear next step.

That’s why we built Ladies’ Golf Journey by SGA.

A simple path:
Start → Build → Play → Connect → Improve

You can join at any stage
and keep moving forward from there

Bring a friend if you can
It makes it easier to start and a lot more fun to continue

Summer camp was the start. Not the finish.

She started like many kids do.
At camp. Learning the basics. Getting on the course.

Lauren stayed with it. That is where the real progress came from.

Time. Good coaching. Support from parents. And a lot of sticking with it.

As her coach, I’m very proud of the player she has become and her results so far

Most junior camps stay on the range.

We don’t.

Our juniors learn on the course — where decisions matter, where confidence builds, and where the game is actually played.

That’s the difference between hitting balls… and learning how to play.

Limited to 8 juniors per week.
4:1 coaching. On-course every day.

Registration is open. Link in bio.

Final-day golf with parents is always a highlight.

It is where juniors get to show what they learned.
And parents get to see the confidence and progress for themselves.

Small groups.
On-course learning daily.
4:1 students:coach ratio. Small group, real difference in coaching.

A camp that helps kids build skills that carry onto the course.

See the moments hear what parents had to say.
