I choose Campbell’s PGA Golf Management Program because of the sense of community and unity. From the first time I stepped on campus, I knew that Campbell was were I wanted to go because of the sense of community. Everything that Campbell has had to offer has been very beneficial to my development as a golf professional. I have been very blessed to work at some of the top clubs in the country and work for some of the most influential professionals in our field. Some of my favorite things about PGM at Campbell include our brand new learning center and the North/South tournament. I am also very fortunate that I can turn to any of my peers or directors if I ever need help finding a job or am just looking for someone to play golf with!

I chose Campbell because of the family-like atmosphere and the great tournament series. The staff and students were very welcoming when I came on visits and when I first arrived on campus. The tournament series here is second to none in terms of PGM schools: there are always tournaments to play in to fill your weekends in “The Creek” and the competition between you and your fellow classmates make the tournaments that much more exciting!
Campbell has allowed me to meet so many people I never thought I would meet and allowed me to go places I never knew about before. It has helped me build a strong network of PGA Professionals, aspiring PGA Professionals, and people outside of the golf industry.
I also enjoy going to athletic events and with Campbell being a smaller school, many of your classmates are on the sports teams that you go watch.

I chose Campbell’s PGA Golf Management program because of the many people that I met over the course of several visits to the school. All of the directors were enthused when I saw them and emailed them. The students that I interacted with on my visits were also very encouraging and welcoming. The golf course and the facilities that Campbell and the PGM program have are beyond exceptional. The private driving range and practice facility at Keith Hills is the perfect place to hone in your golf game at any time. Having access to our on-campus learning center is also very nice. Trackman and Uneekor provide the most accurate information about our golf swings that anyone could possibly need. I also enjoy utilizing the club repair area to tinker and fix my clubs when I need to.
The PGA Golf Management program has introduced me to so many people and professionals that I may have never gotten the chance to meet and know. Through the alumni and various speakers we have on campus there are so many opportunities where I have been afforded to connect with some of the industry’s finest.
I enjoy the smaller community that Campbell offers. It is a small campus but there is always a lot going on and something to be involved in. While it is somewhat remote, cities and fun activities off campus are not far.
