Get There:
The golf academy is located at the Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course at Marine Corps Base Hawaii. Authorized patrons with valid ID cards can gain access to the base without a special pass. Those desiring access need to do the following:
Apply for the Public Partners Program base access ID. You can download the application here: MCCS Public Partners Program
It takes 3-6 weeks so plan accordingly. Once approved, you’ll be asked to make an appointment at the main gate of the base to have a picture taken and your card given to you. It’s good for a year!
A Map is available on Google Earth. There are three choices for Kaneohe Klipper. Pick the one that has “Moffat Road” as the address or use this link: Golf Course Map
Preparing For Golf:
Clothing:
For men: the Klipper has a collared shirt policy. Wear relaxed fitting pants or shorts. Wear tennis or fitness shoes that provide the support needed to make a balanced golf swing. Slippers . . .not so much
For women: Wear relaxed and comfortable clothing. Klipper has great trade winds so a visor, scruntchy, or hat helps to keep hair out of the way. Shoe requirement is same as above.
Equipment:
Clubs are not required to learn golf at the academy. We can provide equipment for the lessons. Just make sure to inform the academy staff of your requirements. Additionally, during the sessions, the staff will make recommendations for type and style of golf clubs if desired.
Lesson Cancellation Policy:
48-hours is the minimum amount of time needed to make a previously scheduled lesson time available to others. We understand that emergency situations do occur and we can make adjustments for that. Lesson no-shows without notice count as a completed lesson.
