Who We Are

At Ascend Golf Academy, building up character is our top priority above all else. While honing one's golf game is important, we believe that cultivating strong values and traits is equally essential. Our academy welcomes individuals of all ages and skill levels, from juniors to adults, beginners to advanced players.


For our junior participants, we focus not only on teaching them the technical aspects of golf but also on instilling valuable life skills. We emphasize the importance of perseverance, discipline, and sportsmanship. Through golf, we aim to empower our juniors to face challenges head-on and develop a resilient spirit that will serve them well in all areas of life. We celebrate their achievements on and off the course, recognizing that it is their character growth that truly matters.


Our adult program at Ascend Golf Academy offers a supportive environment for individuals looking to enhance their golf skills, regardless of their starting point. We understand that many adults come to us with varying experience levels, ranging from novices to those with more advanced abilities. Our experienced coaches customize training plans that address the specific needs and goals of each participant. While the pursuit of achievement is important, we place equal emphasis on the development of integrity, self-confidence, and mental fortitude.


For beginners, our academy provides a nurturing and inclusive environment where they can comfortably learn the fundamentals of golf. We understand that taking up a new sport can be intimidating, and we strive to create an atmosphere that encourages beginners to explore, experiment, and persevere. Through patience and guidance, we aim to foster a love and passion for the game while building character traits such as patience, humility, and respect.


For more advanced players, Ascend Golf Academy is tailored to the needs of those seeking to elevate their game to the highest level. We provide cutting-edge coaching techniques, state-of-the-art facilities, and a competitive atmosphere that pushes participants to reach their full potential. However, amidst the focus on achievement, we emphasize the importance of humility, leadership, and teamwork within our advanced players. We believe that true success in golf goes beyond technical skills and encompasses personal growth and character development.


Ascend Golf Academy is committed to building up character above all else. We cater to juniors, adults, beginners, and advanced players alike, recognizing that everyone can benefit from developing traits such as resilience, discipline, integrity, and humility. Through a comprehensive approach that integrates golf skills with character growth, our academy strives to create well-rounded individuals who excel both on and off the golf course.

  • Golf is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well

    P.G. Wodehouse

  • Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening - and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.

    Arnold Palmer

  • Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots - but you have to play the ball as it lies.

    Bobby Jones

  • Most people fail not because of a lack of desire but because of a lack of commitment.

    Vince Lombardi

  • Success in this game depends less on strength of body than strength of mind and character

  • When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported back, the rate of improvement accelerates.
