Golf pros: get your portal, your Program Advisor, and your launch plan — indoors this winter or outdoors this spring.
Start Planning →A standard Op 36 program is one 8-week season — a weekly one-hour class plus twice-monthly 9-hole play days, at about $360 per golfer. You bring the coaching; Op 36 brings the curriculum, schedule, and software — and you can shape it to fit your calendar.
Every class pairs weekly lessons with twice-monthly 9-hole play days.
One hour a week, fully planned: play a game, teach a skill, finish with a game. If you can run that, you can run this — high-energy for players at every level.
Twice a month, players take it to the real course from their level tee. Shoot 36 or better and they level up — celebrated automatically.
Level up! Every personal best and level-up is tracked and celebrated automatically — so players keep re-enrolling to climb the next level.
Indoor and simulator facilities are running winter sessions right now — families want something to do in the off-season, and a heated bay is all it takes. Outdoor facilities use these months to build: set your schedule, train on the curriculum, and open enrollment so registrations land before the first tee time of spring.
That's 2 hours a week.
Based on a class of 6 at a common $360 tuition. You set your own tuition, roster size, and schedule — these are examples, not a cap.
Start indoors this winter or outdoors this spring — then it repeats every season.
We build your club's community portal before you ever log in. From there, the platform and your Program Advisor carry the load — registration, classes, play days, and reporting — so you stay focused on coaching.
Sign up and your facility becomes an official Op 36 location — a pin on the map families are already searching, plus a full-time PGA Program Advisor to set you up and stay with you. You become the club that welcomes beginners.
A branded registration site with online payments, plus your listing in the Op 36 marketplace where families search for a local program to join.
Deliver your classes with 72 skill videos across six levels and a drag-and-drop lesson-plan builder — you never walk to the tee without a plan.
Run your play days on autopilot: RSVPs, auto-generated pairings, and every score recorded. Level-ups and personal bests celebrate automatically.
Feed-based announcements and in-app messaging reach every golfer and parent in one place — post once, see exactly who read it.
Player profiles show strokes lost and levels climbed; business dashboards track enrollments, revenue, and invoices. One impact report proves it to families and your GM.
Stop having to answer “What's next?” You bring the coaching — we bring the machine underneath: games and curriculum to run as-is or make your own. Run the classes, log scores on play days, and show every player they're getting better — real progress, automated, like the golfers below.
Join a community of coaches changing how beginners learn the game — and land on the map where families near you are already looking for a program to join.
Families are already searching the marketplace for programs near them — launching plugs you straight into that demand.

Join a community of coaches trading lesson plans, ideas, and 15 years of hard-won know-how.
Your Program Advisor will walk you through program licensing and options for your facility.
No — you set your own tuition at whatever you want. The figures here are just the averages we see across our 800+ locations on what's working. Some programs charge well more than $30 a class; others charge a bit less.
Play days run from level tees, so rounds are fast — a Level 1 nine takes about 90 minutes. Pace of play is the biggest reason this works: beginners get around in the same time as everyone else, so they never back up your tee sheet. A 6-golfer class needs about 2 tee times per play day, and you can scale all the way back to one play day a month and grow from there.
Yes — the program runs in 8-week blocks, so you stack as many as your season allows. Use the off-season to set up: build your schedule, train on the curriculum, and open enrollment so you walk into spring with a roster already in place. Indoor and simulator facilities keep it going all winter.
Yes — your Program Advisor can help you customize the length and cadence. But for players to see real improvement (and for the business to run well), aim for 4- to 8-week blocks; some locations simply run all season long as a monthly recurring program. Your PGA Program Advisor can share the tips and tricks we've learned from other facilities.
No — 48% of Op 36 enrollments are adults, and 74% of adult enrollments are women, the fastest-growing segment in golf. Winter indoor sessions and spring launches work just as well with adult groups. Parents enroll alongside their kids; couples join together.
Op 36 isn't a swing system or a teaching philosophy — it's a program built on the first real development model in golf. Think of it like a school system: a framework of levels and milestones, while every teacher still teaches their own way. You're still the coach; Op 36 provides the structure that turns your lessons into a program.
Yes. Your onboarding includes three private training calls with your PGA Program Advisor — they'll walk you through setup, building your first class, and running your play days. And they don't disappear after launch: your Advisor stays with you for the life of your program.
Op 36 was built by Golf Pros, for Golf Pros — the team at HQ are passionate golf professionals and enthusiasts. Beyond your PGA Program Advisor, you get monthly webinars, network meetups, and live chat support in your portal (M–F, EST business hours). We hold a 90+ NPS and take real pride in the level of support and training we provide.
Your PGA Program Advisor gets your details the moment you submit and reaches out to schedule a call. Together you map out your schedule, pricing, and launch date — then we build your facility portal and start your three private training calls, so you're set up before your first class. No manual paperwork, no lag.
