School Overview:

School Notes:

• The Golf Academy of the Carolinas, which opened in 1998, expanded to a new campus late 2004. The Myrtle Beach, South Carolina campus is located within minutes of over 100 golf courses in an area often referred to as the golf mecca of the United States. TGAC has been customized to create a truly unique golf instruction and learning environment. The physical facilities of TGAC entail classroom, computer lab, club repair, library, lounge, student and placement service areas as well as administrative offices. Golf instruction, practice, and play are conducted at area facilities.
• Myrtle Beach is a warm coastal resort area where the sun shines and the fun never sets. Also known as the Grand Strand for its 60-mile stretch of continual beaches from Little River to Georgetown, Myrtle Beach is considered one of the premier vacation destinations on the East Coast. For the competitive golfer, Myrtle Beach is the host for a number of mini-tour and amateur events, including the Dupont World Amateur Tournament, which is the largest amateur golf tournament in the world.
• SDGA's programs and curriculum are designed to balance classroom studies with practical experience and comprehensive understanding of the business of golf. The Academy offers a two-academic-year associate degree program with an occupational objective of Golf Complex Operations and Management, with two areas of emphasis: Golf Professional and General Golf Management. Students may choose to have a dual emphasis or choose to specialize in one area only.
• SDGA is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS).
