Raising Golfers Golf Academy, founded in 2021 at Carlsbad's Rancho Carlsbad Golf Course on El Camino Real and expanded to a second teaching site at the Omni La Costa Resort in 2025, uses the Operation 36 developmental curriculum to build junior players from 25-yard approach shots through full-course distance. Certified Junior Golf Ambassadors lead private lessons, group clinics, and parent-child formats on Rancho Carlsbad Golf Course's 18-hole par-3 layout, emphasizing fundamentals, course management, and character development at every stage of the Op36 progression. Summer camps and Level Up on-course strategy clinics round out the seasonal programming for the La Costa and Poinsettia zip codes, and the academy produces a podcast dedicated to helping golf parents navigate the junior-tournament pathway. Families enrolling young athletes in multi-sport development often pair golf instruction here with the strength-and-coordination programs at KidStrong Carlsbad. The Op36 benchmark tracks each student's ability to break 36 over nine holes from progressively longer yardages — 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 yards through full tees — creating a six-level, data-verified skill ladder from beginner through tournament-ready play.
