We are thrilled to announce the successful launch of our new Academy location in Port St. Lucie, Florida. After years of planning, we officially opened with a summer program and are excited to welcome 15 to 18 new athletes for the Fall 2025 semester. With both the Connecticut and Florida campuses now fully operational, GPA is poised for continued growth and impact in the 2025/26 school year.
Our Florida campus offers a unique model, developed in partnership with RPS Academies, who provide the academic and student life programming. GPA is responsible for all aspects of the golf and athletic development, ensuring a high-performance training environment.
Unlike our all-inclusive facility in Connecticut, the Florida athletes live at RPS at Sandpiper Bay Resort and train at the prestigious Santa Lucia River Club at Ballentrae. Athletes receive full golf membership and six-day-per-week access, allowing for maximum time on course. Due to the Florida heat, training places a strong emphasis on outdoor play and real-world golf scenarios, while also incorporating an indoor studio equipped with the same leading-edge technology found at GPC.
In contrast, our Connecticut campus offers distinct advantages for athletes seeking a more academically focused environment or preparing for colder weather college golf. Holston Academy, our academic partner in CT, provides a rigorous curriculum with a range of Advanced Placement courses. The Northeast’s seasonal changes also allow for a more structured focus on periodized physical performance training, helping to build long-term athletic resilience.
Despite their differences, both campuses are grounded in the GPA system of training. Our unified philosophy, centered on the five elements of success and powered by the Player Development Index (PDI), ensures that every student-athlete benefits from the most complete and customized junior golf training program in the country.
GPA is proud to offer two unique environments—both delivering the same world-class standard of excellence in player development.
