A true passion for golf is the prerequisite for YTI Career Institute's Golf Course Management program. While the program will prepare you for the PGA career track, not all of us that love the game can become the next Tiger Woods. That's why our program has a strong business focus - you will graduate prepared for a wide variety of positions within the $195 billion dollar golf industry. Your training in the fundamentals of golf club fitting, turf maintenance, golf instruction techniques, tournament operations, and golf shop operations including tee time management, merchandising, handicapping, customer service and more will prepare you for managerial and sales positions at public course, private clubs and golf resorts. Let's get going, it's tee time!
